Yesterday’s news on the Helio Ocean 2 has inspired us to create a little side by side shot comparing both the original Helio Ocean to the upcoming Ocean 2. With a release date this Summer, our favorite MVNO network could be launching its most successful device to date thanks to an improved camera, 1GB of internal storage and support for the latest SDHC microSD expansion cards. The biggest question is whether or not upgrading to the new Helio Ocean 2 will be worth your while and the answer is yes. Now without further adieu here is the nitty gritty spec comparison based upon the latest FCC filings. Please keep in mind that these specs are not confirmed at this point, but we are rarely disappointed by details in FCC documents so you can almost consider these details as fact.
