Koobee, a big name in the Chinese domestic phone market, has released its first 18:9 smartphone -called the Koobee F1.

Koobee launched its new 18:9 full display phone last week . 

The F1 comes with a 5.7-inch 1440 X 720 display which is slightly smaller than some of the large screen phones, but this gives the handset an even more compact feel - similar to a standard 5.2-inch phone.

While the front of the handset is made up of the larger display, plus a front 16 megapixel sensor, the rear gets an attractive 3D curved surface with mirror finish.

The rear of the phone also gets a 16 megapixel Sony IMX298 sensor but twice and with the help of software this Koobee can snap photos of up to 80 megapixels.

The Koobee F1 comes with a 64bit 1.5Ghz chipset, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal memory and a 3000mAh battery.
