Intel YOLO Smartphone for a Valentine’s gift (guest post)

Ahem, February; how I love thee, goes the poem. Every time I hear this, am reminded about Valentine’s Day-a festive day for lovers. A day to give cards, letters, flowers, candy,…and the Intel YOLO Smartphones. Yes Intel’s first Smartphone. Why not? Think about it: a gift such as the new Intel Smartphone is something that can melt someone’s ‘heart-chip’ in a flash. To highlight this; here are the reasons why consumers should consider a phone such as the Intel Smartphone- this Valentine’s Day.


Keeping in touch: The YOLO Smartphone can be a nice way to talk and share happy feelings between two love birds. This can be done with an affordable voice/data package. What’s more the phone is packed with great Android* applications such as the kiss my valentines app. This app has two main functions. On one hand it allows users to choose people from their contacts list to send digital kisses, hugs, and wishes to-automatically. On the other hand-and similar to the candy concept- users can let their valentines know how much they care by sending a customized digital sweetheart letter

Another useful application is the WhatsApp messenger. This allows message exchange without having to pay for SMS since the application uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing.

Romance: Valentines is no valentines without some form of thought out Romance. Talking or texting is never enough. Because of this the Intel Smartphone allows lovers to record a HD video of themselves –this is as a result of its recording capabilities. With this, lovers can creatively express their love by crafting and sharing their own romantic style music renditions of musical greats such as Bethoven, Chopin, and Brahms even our own-the list is endless. They can even go the extra mile and take photos of themselves together-using the stunning 8MP HD camera-and use the photos as background wallpaper for their screens.

All these acts of love and more can be done with its fast lightning processer and outstanding battery life. Enjoying the things you love has never been this easier. To top it all up the YOLO smartphone retails at only Ksh 10,999/= and comes with a 500MB offer on purchase from all Safaricom shops. So go on surprise your lover and enjoy away your valentine’s. February; away with thee my love, ends the poem.

The Safaricom Intel Yolo is not a flagship smartphone but the hardware sure gives you the feel.. But what makes the Intel Yolo interesting is its (low) price: this is an entry-level handset that puts a polished mobile computing experience in your pocket without breaking the bank or compromising usability with dire, underpowered hardware.

YOLO!
