The SuperD D1 is an example of these niche devices. It may look like any other smartphone, but it does something that most of the competition can’t. That is, 3D videos and games, without the need for 3D glasses.
But is it all a gimmick? is this enough to persuade people to have a good look at this device, and better yet, actually buy it? We spent some time with the phone, and here’s what we think.
The D1’s design reminds me of Xiaomi’s Redmi smartphones. The metal back houses fingerprint sensor and comes with a matte finish which can get a little slipper when holding the phone with one hand. The camera potrudes, similar to the ASUS Zenfone 3. Then there’s the again, awkwardly placed speaker at the back, which gets covered when the phone is placed flat on the ground.
Up front is a 5.5-inch display covered with 2.5D curved glass, along with the capacitive keys, and the two front cameras (Which we’ll talk about later).
The SuperD D1 sports a 5.5-inch Full HD display with a balanced color temperature and good contrast. There’s no over saturation here like what you’ll find in an AMOLED display, but it’s not boring as well. Icons and text also remain visible in direct sunlight, provided that brightness is maxed, which is a good thing.
