We got the latest Kata Digital Flagship Phablet device the successor  of their Kata M1 the Kata M2. Check out our review.

Unboxing

Th Kata M2 comes in a nice white box that obviously has the photo of the product and the logo of Kata Digital. But surprisingly Kata M2 box doesn't have quick specs printed on the box.

Once you open it up, you’ll see the cool Kata M2 device, along with a  user manual, warranty card,USB cable, charger and headphones. The headphones that Kata included in the package are looks premium it kinda look a like of samsung earphone.

Design and Build

Kata M2 has massive 5.5” HD OGS Display. Display are really impressive screen color are very natural unlike other device that has yellowish or blueish display.

If there is something cool about this device is how it's back cover looks like it has carbon fiber finish which eliminates finger prints. Cool!.

Kata M2 has a two sim card slot 1 micro sim and 1 regular sim.Micro USB and 3.5mm Audio Jack are located on the top of the phone.

Both Side of Kata M2 was made with a metal which make you comfortable holding this device.

Performance 

Kata M2 is powered by 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6582 quad core processor. The MT6582 is optimized for phones with HD screens which gives us smooth overall performance whether you swipe fast through the UI, HD Games like NBA 2014, Asphalt 8, Thor, Iron Man, Gangsta Vegas runs smooth to this device. In case you want to know the Bench Mark Score ill post it below.

Antutu Score : 17599

Quadrand Score : 7155

Games we tried.

Battery 

KATA M2 equipped   2300mAh Li-Po battery upon are testing it last up to 4 to 5 hours of Heavy used and more than  16 hours of normal used.

Camera

The Kata M2 sports with a 13mp rear-facing camera with LED flash and a 5mp front camera which give's me a great camera result special in good lightning condition. I took some shoot's of rare and front Camera of Kata M2 ill post it below.

Conclusion

The Kata M2 is a great buy if you are looking for a perfect build quality devicee. However you can get the Redmi 1S which is sports with little bit faster processor.

But i really like how Kata M2 build is from metal side's to a carbon fiber back which make this look premium.
