The most striking thing about the Obi MV1 is the funky looks; this mobile was designed by the same San Fran firm behind Dr Dre’s Beats headphones. The flat top and curved bottom adds a unique flair to the MV1, as does the old-school Lumia-style floating display. It feels good in the hand, with a decent heft.
The 720p 5-inch screen is sharp, with a cold colour gamut. It’s not as vibrant as some rivals, such as the brilliant Samsung Galaxy J5, but it’s quite easy on the eye. And while the 8-megapixel camera isn’t the fastest mobile snapper at this price point, it seems to capture detailed images.
