Mobicel Hype is the basic version of the Hype X. Unlike the Hype X, this unit comes with a 5.9-inch HD+ Display with 720 x 1440 pixels resolution. The display uses 18:9 aspect ratio, and does not have a notch Cut-out.

Under the hood, the device is powered by a Quad-core MediaTek MT6739 CPU clocked at 1.3GHz. Catering for graphic need is a PowerVR GE8100 GPU, along with 1GB RAM and 8/16 GB internal storage. If that storage capacity is not enough for you, then you can always attach an additional SD card to the phone.

Coming to the camera department, the Mobicel Hype comes with a 13-megapixel main camera with LED flash, and another 5MP front-facing camera for selfie. Sadly, the device have no support for fingerprint sensor, but there is a bundled FaceID with the front facing camera.

But does the Mobicel Hype have support for 4G LTE network? Yes, the device also have support for dual SIM cards, with a 2800mAh battery and Android 8.1 (Oreo, Go Edition) out of the box. The full specs and features of the Mobicel Hype are detailed below.
