Merrill Rainbow A4S Review~

What is the Merrill Rainbow A4S?

The Merrill Rainbow A4S is the successor to the Rainbow A6 which had the best camera on the market. That camera was the Canon EOS Rebel SLR and had a 24Mp sensor. The camera’s first prime lens was a 70-200mm f/2.2 GM lens with a 1.2um pixel size. It was a full-frame sensor.

In this review I’ll be looking at the Merrill Rainbow A4S’s camera and try to show what it can do.

Features

The Merrill Rainbow A4S has a 5.2-inch display on the front and a front facing 2-inch screen on the back. This is a 24Mp display, meaning the A4 is a smartphone ready for all manner of situations. It has a pretty decent pixel density of 1.2um and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

The front camera is a 5.2-inch sensor with a pop-out focusing port on the front. It is protected with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which means there’s lots of detail. The front lens has a pop-out focusing port on the back. This is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which means there’s lots of detail in low light conditions.

One thing to note that the rear camera is a little bit better than the front camera. I’ve already done a full review of the Canon EOS Rebel XR on this and I’ll be comparing it to the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV in this comparison.

Build and Handling

The Merrill Rainbow A4S is a big phone. It feels big and you’ll feel it on your hand. It is, however, an A4S sized phone.

I’m a big fan of the Essential Phone whose 5.5-inch screen is larger than my and it feels much bigger. It also has the best cameras at the market. The 5MP front camera is a telephoto lens with a f/2.0 aperture. It can also double as a true wide angle lens. The second sensor is for the f2.2 lens.

Merrill has done a good job with the build of the Rainbow A4S. The phone feels very solid and it feels like you’re holding it in your hand. It doesn’t feel as premium than any of the phones I’ve held. I’m particularly excited to see what other flagships will be releasing with the A4S.

I’m also a fan of the big cameras at the top of the phone. The A4’s camera is really good, but the PPG sensor doesn’t make it that. That is something we all know that all phones should strive for.

There’s a custom-made 3 button under the home screen. It is responsive and does its job well. I find it hard to press even when the phone is locked. And I don’t think you can do anything that big without it.

Portrait Mode

In the Rainbow A4S you have two options to blur the background or blur the images.

To use this mode you need to set a custom blur setting for each image. It can be done in the Dash and Power settings. It works well on the Canon EOS Rebel SLR but
