As far as smartphones are concerned, most consumers are content to decide between a handful of the biggest brand names, but the soon-to-be-released Archos Sense 55S might convince more savvy consumers to reconsider their options. The smartphone from the up-and-coming French hardware brand can go toe-to-toe with most big name products in terms of both design and hardware specs, and yet it is significantly more affordable.
In line with the current design preference for smartphones, the Archos Sense 55S is a nearly bezel-free device, with a screen-to-body ratio of 78 percent. The phone is also impressively sleek, with a low profile that should make it a relatively subtle item in users' pockets. The screen itself measures 5.5 inches and has a 1,920 by 1,080 pixel resolution, and its camera has dual lenses with eight megapixels each.
