O+ 8.31z, 8.36z and 8.37: Affordable O+ Phones with Air Shuffle, Jelly Bean and Dual Core Processors

by Daniel Gubalane on Sep 17, 2013

O+ 8.31z Specs, Price and Features

O+ 8.31z is the cheapest among the three at ₱2,995.00 with a free 4GB Sandisk micro SD. It’s an entry level Android phone best suited for those who want to try Android Jelly Bean but with a limited budget.

Aside from O+8.31z’s Air Shuffle feature, I also like that its 3.2 Megapixel main camera is already has autofocus feature and LED flash.

Here’s the specs of O+8.31z:

  • 1GHz Dual Core Processor
  • Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
  • 3.5-inch Capacitive Touch Screen
  • 3.2 Megapixel Autofocus Main Camera with LED Flash
  • VGA Front Camera
  • 32GB Micro SD Card Slot
  • 256MB RAM
  • WiFi and WiFi Hotspot
  • 3G, EDGE, GPRS, GSM
  • Dual Sim/Dual Standby
  • 1500 mAh Li-ion Battery
  • ₱2,995.00 SRP

O+ 8.36z Specs, Price and Features


The difference between O+ 8.36z and O+ 8.31z is not yet apparent right now since O+ did not disclose other details about the two. Look at the specs below and you’ll see what I mean. It probably has higher RAM and battery capacity.
It also has a free 4GB Sandisk micro SD card.

Update: I was right. O+ 8.36z has a higher RAM size than 8.31z at 512MB.

Here’s the specs of O+8.36z:

  • 1GHz Dual Core Processor
  • Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
  • 3.5-inch Capacitive Touch Screen
  • 3.2 Megapixel Autofocus Main Camera with LED Flash
  • VGA Front Camera
  • 512MB RAM
  • 32GB Micro SD Card Slot
  • WiFi and WiFi Hotspot
  • 3G, EDGE, GPRS, GSM
  • Dual Sim/Dual Standby
  • 1,500 mAh Li-ion Battery
  • ₱3,995.00 SRP

O+ 8.37 Specs, Price and Features

O+ 8.37 is the best among the three but also has the highest price. That is justified by a faster 1.2GHz dual core processor and an 8GB micro SD card that comes with the package.
This one has a larger 4.0-inch display and probably, 4GB of internal memory and 512MB of RAM.

O+ 8.37 Specs:

  • 1.2GHz Dual Core Processor
  • Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
  • 4-inch Capacitive Touch Screen
  • 3.2 Megapixel Autofocus Main Camera with LED Flash
  • VGA Front Camera
  • 512MB RAM
  • 32GB Micro SD Card Slot
  • WiFi and WiFi Hotspot
  • 3G, EDGE, GPRS, GSM
  • Dual Sim/Dual Standby
  • 1,500 mAh Li-ion Battery
  • ₱4,995.00 SRP

Additional Features and Conclusion

It’s also worthy to note that all of the three phone above will support Over the Air (OTA) software updates. That makes it more convenient for users since they won’t have to visit the service centers to have the latest update like a future Android Kitkat update.
Looking at these three O+ phones, I admire their design that’s contrary to the normal black and white design of most Android phones. The buttery performance of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and dual core processors also got me excited. However, O+ should have bumped up the RAM of these phones to give them more edge.
