Ulefone Vienna - Information & Reviews - 5.5" FHD | MT6753 | 3GB | 32GB | Fingerprint

Introduction​

Ulefone Vienna with dedicated DAC (formerly called HiFi) has been finally launched, and tops the mid-high range of budget smartphones.

News about Ulefone Vienna, formerly Alpha, has been around for half a year and now Ulefone has finally announced all its information on their official website. But what kind of a phone has taken the company so long to make?

What tops Ulefone Vienna is no doubt the independent HiFi chipset named NXP Smart Audio PA which packs both DAC and operational amplifier. The audio system of the Vienna has a frequency response range from 20Hz to 20KHz, covering all the sound frequencies hearable to human ears. The 109db high SNR and <0.01% low THD are said to make sure users will get the pure music experience.

Among the mains specs, Ulefone Vienna is equipped with an 5.5-inch 1080P LTPS display from Sharp and a 32GB built-in storage for flawless music files (and apps too). Other specs include an MT6753 8-core 64-bit chipset, 3GB LPDDR3 RAM, 13MP Panasonic MN34150 camera with dual flash, and a 3250mAh Sony li-polymer battery.

Ulefone Vienna’s fingerprint scanner implementation supports the registration of five different fingerprints; a physical key under the power button can be used to start the camera and voice recorder apps; also, the IR Blaster enables to control home appliances with remote control apps.

Design-wise, Ulefone Vienna has a 2.5D glass on the front side, while the unified frame and back cover can’t be removed. SIM card and MicroSD has to be put on a side-inserted tray on the left edge and on the right edge, volume up and down buttons are divided.

Measuring 153.5 x 77.85 x 8.6mm, Ulefone Vienna weights 156g. It is offered in 4 colors: grey, white, black and pink.

Ulefone Vienna has been the only model featuring HiFi among small brands, also a good sign that we may begin to enjoy high quality audio at lower price.
