GEAK Shows Eye and Mars: Smartphones for Photographers

Chinese Electronics Manufacturer
GEAK brings photography to
smartphones.
Every time a new smartphone gets
launched, a photographer (or two)
somewhere always has something to
say about the quality (or lack thereof)
of the images. At least they appear to
have an ally, as the company, GEAK,
has now released a duo of
smartphones with both casual and
avid photographers in mind.
The duo is comprised of the 5-inch
"Eye" and the 5.8-inch "Mars," which
both incorporate a 13 megapixel
backside illuminated rear camera. The
Eye also features an 8 megapixel
forward camera (for astounding
selfies), while the Mars brings it
down to a mere 2 megapixels. Both
handsets come with 16 GB of internal
storage and HSPA+ data capabilities,
but the Eye features a 720p IPS
display with a quad-core Mediatek
MT6589 and 1 GB of RAM, while the
larger Mars comes with a Full HD
1080p display and a Snapdragon 600
with 2 GB of RAM.
The prices differ between the two
products, but only a little, as the Eye
sells for $326 and the Mars for $490,
both off contract. While the phones are
still only being sold in China beginning
