Plum Ram 9

The Plum Ram 9 suits buyers after a simple, easy-to-carry phone; the trade-off is its low-capacity 1700 mAh battery. It measures 133.4 mm tall and weighs 109 g, making it one of the lightest phones of its time. It also has IP68 protection and a stated water depth of 1.5 m.

Its 2.4″ TFT LCD display has a resolution of 240 × 320 px and a pixel density of 167 ppi. The screen is compact, but that density leaves little detail. KaiOS 2.5 runs with 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of storage, which is expandable. For calls, the phone supports Dual Nano-SIM and GSM, HSPA and LTE. Other connections and features include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

The rear camera is 5 MP and records 480p video; the front camera is 1.3 MP. These are basic camera specifications, fitting a phone focused on simple tasks. The Plum Ram 9 combines a compact body, low weight and water- and dust-resistance. Its limited battery capacity, memory and display detail are the main concessions. Expandable storage provides room for more files, but does not change the phone’s 512 MB of RAM. It is best suited to straightforward phone use rather than buyers seeking a large, detailed screen or generous memory.
