Unveiling fashionable smartphone FPT F55

FPT F55 is truly eye-catching with youthful and trendy design. The slightly beveled frame that wraps around the edge and rounded corners make the device slimmer than actual thickness (9.47 mm). Despite its large 4.5- inch screen, FPT F55 fits perfectly in the hand of both male and female. Explaining the 4.5 inch size, the maker said that it is suitable for majority of users, big enough to cause no difficulties for one-handed phone use and satisfy vision upon enjoying entertainment applications such as watching movies, playing games or surfing webs. Towards simplicity and sophistication, FTP only launches two versions in black and white.

Featuring the dual core processor at the speed of 1.3GHz, 512MB RAM, 4GB ROM, FPT F55’s configuration is powerful enough to run popular applications smoothly. In addition, it can also handle multiple tasks at the same time on Android 4.2 version instead of 4.0 or 4.1 versions of products in the same price range. With 3G connection, Wi - Fi, Wi - Fi hotspot and GPS, FPT F55 can connect to the Internet and support mapping and direction applications
