iVOOMi today launched its iVOOMi i2 smartphone, which runs Android 8.1 Oreo,
priced at Rs 7,499. The device is the successor to the company’s i1 and i1s smartphones that were launched back in January 2018. The iVOOMi i2 smartphone will be available exclusively on Flipkart. The smartphone will be made available in only one configuration, though it will come in two colour variants – Olive Black and Indigo Blue.
The smartphone looks good and might have an upper hand over its competition in the price bracket due to its face recognition feature. However, there is a lot of competition in the Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 price bracket. Companies like Xiaomi, Samsung, Honor have a few good offerings already in the market. The competition is tough, but will the iVOOMi i2 be able to stand out? Here is our full review.

iVOOMi i2 review
The iVOOMi i2 looks good, thanks to the 3D glass effect on the back, which is not seen in this price bracket. On the front we get to see a 5.45-inch HD display with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels, along with the 8MP selfie camera with a single LED flash. On the back, there is a removable plastic back panel, which has been given a glass look and feel by the company, a vertically aligned dual camera setup and the iVOOMi branding.

On the top of the phone you will find the 3.5mm audio jack along with the micro-USB port for charging and data transfer. On the right side of the smartphone are the volume rockers and the power button. On the bottom, we get to see the primary microphone and the loudspeaker.
Coming to the build, the iVOOMi i2 does suffer a bit in this department. The back panel wraps around the sides of this smartphone and feels a bit loose when pressed, which might be specific to our review unit. Due to the glass finish, it is a fingerprint magnet and you will find yourself cleaning it a lot.
iVOOMi i2 review: What’s good?
iVOOMi i2 touts a FullView display, however, the top and bottom bezels on the device are easily visible. Both indoors and outdoors under direct sunlight, the display is crisp and vibrant. There were only a few instances where I found myself covering the screen with my hand to read something. Overall for its price, this is a good display.
The main USP of the iVOOMi i2 is its facial recognition technology, which is a rare feature at this price point. The company has focused a lot on bringing this technology to its i2 smartphone, while at the same time removing the fingerprint sensor, which is more common. The facial recognition was a bit tricky to find in the Settings, but when completely set up, it worked well considering the smartphone’s price. The smartphone recognised the registered face almost instantly, and would open up with just a quick upwards swipe on the screen.
