We unbox the MyPhone Iceberg Slim!

Today, we’ll be unboxing another MyPhone device. This time, it’s their recently announced, limited edition Iceberg Slim! The Iceberg Slim retains the same design of the Iceberg and much of its internals and squeezes it into a smaller body.

Packaging and contents

The Iceberg Slim comes in a very spiffy box that’s a bit more premium than their other recent offerings.

Once you open the box, you’ll see the gold colored smartphone sitting inside a cutout of the box. Aside from the Iceberg Slim itself, you’ll also be getting the standard accessories, namely USB cable, charger, headphones and the appropriate user manual and warranty card.

Initial Impressions: stylish, thin and powerful

While the Iceberg Slim might be small, don’t think for a second that it’s any less capable than its big brother. The 1.3GHz quad-core processor inside the Iceberg Slim is more than capable of providing a smooth and relatively lag free user experience.

Looking at the device itself, you’ll see that it shares much of the same design as its bigger brother, the Iceberg. This is good news for people who found the Iceberg a bit too much for their hands.

It’s also thinner than the Iceberg as well, and has a body that’s around 7.8mm thick.

This means that the Iceberg Slim is easier to carry around and hide in your pockets compared to its bigger brother.

Much like its bigger brother, the Iceberg Slim uses a metal back that can’t be removed. That means you are stuck with the device’s 1800mAh battery.

As far as benchmarks go, the Iceberg Slim is good to go, managing to score around 16794 points in AnTuTu. Like we said earlier, this translated to a relatively lag free user experience, though it would be interesting to see how the device handles graphically intense games like Dead Trigger 2, Asphalt 8 and the like.

 

That’s it for this unboxing. Watch out for the full review later on.
