The French company ARCHOS presented a new line of smartphones 50 Helium Plus and 55 Helium Plus, running the operating system Android 5.1 Lollipop and equipped with IPS displays with HD resolution, as well as supporting dual SIM and 4G LTE networks.
As noted by the manufacturer, the body of the new models has become smoother and more glossy, with the effect of a glass coating. Helium Plus smartphones come in two colors: charcoal black and frosty white. The presented new items have identical technical characteristics and differ in the size of the display diagonal: the 55 Helium smartphone received a 5.5-inch screen, and the more compact ARCHOS 50 Helium Plus is already equipped with a 5-inch display.
