InnJoo Halo Plus is a mid range android smartphone that was released early this year with the duo, Innjoo Fire 2 and Innjoo Fire 2 Plus. It is the latest variant in the Halo series and a successor to the not so much admired Innjoo Halo. Featuring lower specifications than the two aforementioned devices, the Halo Plus is still an impressive device when compared to few smartphones in its range. Its promise of a long battery life, good user interface and an acceptable level of performance at a budget friendly price makes it a fair choice for the average smartphone user.

For its display, the Innjoo Halo plus features a  5.5 inch display screen with a resolution of  720 x 1280 pixels. The size of this display and its resolution provides a large enough screen having cool effects to allow operations like gaming, watching videos and viewing web pages.

It sports a curved edge body that is made of metal, has a dimension of 145.6 x 72 x 9.6 mm and weight of 158 g. Its slim and light weight gives it a hand fitting design that makes it easy to hold and carry about, hence delivering a comfortable user experience

The Innjoo Halo plus is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, Mali-400-MP2 GPU, IGB of RAM and an 8GB internal memory storage that is expandable up to 32GB. Although the speed of this processor has been improved than that of the Innjoo Halo, this device still features the same processor, RAM, and Internal storage as its predecessor. One should expect a slightly improved level of performance from the Innjoo Halo Plus. 

For the average smartphone user that may not run apps and games that take up more of the RAMs space , this device may run smoothly without lags, hangs or odd crashing. Its Internal memory storage though on the smaller side, does not really make it a downside since provision has been made for expansion.

The Innjoo Halo Plus features a 5MP back camera with flash light and a 2MP front camera. The front camera supports supports 720P High Definition videos while the back camera can produce 480P Standard Definition videos. This implies that videos captured using the front camera will have less quality and size compared to those captured by its rear camera. According to Innjoo, the camera comes with filters that makes it perform better and its dual flash lights help in increasing the video brightness and quality.

Probably, Innjoos aim was to keep the price of Innjoo Halo Plus budget friendly and give it specs similar to its predecessor, but at a better level of performance. On comparing the specs of Innjoo Halo Plus with Innjoo Halo, I didnt see any significant upgrade in the former. I expected an improvement in basic components; either its RAM size, Internal memory capacity, camera or processor. Gone are the days when a phone was judged mainly by its design and popularity of its brand.

Alright, Alright, they improved the battery capacity from 3200 mAh to 3600 mAh and increased the processor speed, but no big deal. I wouldnt still trade one phone for another by such a small difference in battery capacity especially when its display screen is larger. Its display screen being wider than that of the Innjoo Halo means that itll drain the battery faster. So now we get to minus that from the 3600 mAh battery (bring out your calculator), hence we might still have a 3200 mAh battery. An improvement in processor wouldve made this change useful since the phone will consume less power.

Also, an average smartphone user might not know the importance of a faster processor and will therefore not appreciate one on this phone. Let me not spoil your mind about this phone, its a very good phone sha. But do you know its 2MP front camera might make you look like you just walked out of the 18th century? but look on the brighter side, everyone will get to know you just visited your ancestors.  That was a joke. But this phone still has its good sides, for one, having an octa-core  processor does not mean it wouldve been more powerful. With its quad-core processor, one can still get fast and fluid multitasking, smooth 3D gameplay, and speedy camera performance on the Injoo Halo Plus..
