Two more octa-core Zopo phones are set to arrive in the PH

While the ZP980+ looks to be your standard 5-inch full HD octa-core smartphone, the ZP998 aims to differentiate itself by utilizing two features: the BVE voice technology and gesture recognition. BVE voice tech takes the ambient noise level in a room and adjusts the volume of the sound coming out of the earpiece automatically, which means you’ll always be able to hear the person you’re talking to perfectly, no matter what kind of acoustical environment you’re in. The gesture controls are exactly that – gesture controls – that allow you to flip a page of the website or e-book you’re reading without having to press a button.
While Novo7 Tech has not posted any of the prices for these devices as of yet, you can expect these new smartphones to cost more than $269.99 (or around Php 12052) for the ZP980+ and $309.99 (or around 13837) for the ZP998.
