MiFone W15 with 2.5D screen smartwatch at just $33

Many tech analysts believe that smart wearables are going to take over smartphones one day. Whether they do so or not is a debate for another day, today we are sharing with you guys a watch that isn't going to burn a hole in your pocket, and yet perform almost all the functions a fancy high-end smartwatch provides. The MiFone W15 is a smartwatch that comes with a 2.5D touch screen, a TPSiV safe strap, a built-in speaker and mic, among many other features.

Let's talk a bit about the capabilities of the smartwatch in question, which sells at a ridiculously low price of $32.99 at Gearbest. The 2.5D screen adds a stereoscopic effect to the screen, thus bettering the visual experience on the device. The watch comes with gesture support, which automatically turns on the display when you raise your hand to know the time. Other features include speaker output, 208 hours standby,pedometer to track your fitness activities, sound recorder and the ability to answer calls while connected to a device over Bluetooth.

As for the hardware specifications, W15 has a 1.44 inch screen with unmentioned resolution, weighs 41 grams, 405 mAh battery, Bluetooth 3.0, 900 MHz ARM9 processor, and 64 MB of RAM. All these specifications are perfectly fine for a smartwatch, even more so for one at this budget. The only poor thing about it being the lack of Bluetooth 3.0, which would have meant high battery backup for your smartphone if it also supports Bluetooth 4.0.

Though I haven't used the smartwatch myself and thus can't claim whether the absence of Bluetooth 4.0 is a major hindrance for battery life, the company is advertising 6 hours of talktime and 208 hours of standby time, which, if true, is decent enough. Also, you won't need to install any app to use this watch with your smartphone, and you can pair this with Android, iOS, Symbian, Blackberry and Windows Phone powered smartphones. If all this sounds impressive at $33, head over to Gearbest to grab one for yourself, with free worldwide shipping.
