Former Apple CEO John Sculley, among others to blame for Jobs' temporary dismissal, launched a new smartphone brand called Obi Worldphone. In doing so, he teamed up with Robert Brunner, a former protégé of the company from Cupertino. The idea for the new brand was to create phones that do not make compromises and are made in Silicon Valley with the best components, but their price does not exceed 200 US dollars. And so the flagship Android Obi Worldphone SF1 and the more affordable Obi Worldphone SJ1.5 were born.
Obi Worldphone they are ex-Apple's John Sculley's smartphones, who do not want to lead customers to Apple and other established providers. They will look for their opportunity in others, especially dynamic ones developing markets, and they want to attract with phones that are made in the navel of technological and scientific progress in the world, in Silicon Valley. Their most powerful phone SF1, which is an abbreviation for the place where he was conceived- San Francisco- despite aiming for a "generic" paradise, it is far from generic.

The lower part of the case is also rounded, while the top of the phone has sharp edges (both the edges are made of metal). It is powered by 64-bit 8-core Qualcomm 615 processor (data is calculated at a speed of 1.5 GHz) on which it is loaded OS Android 5.1 Lollipop with Lifespeed UI. It has it built in Sony's rear camera resolution of 13 million pixels with Exmor RS IMX214 sensor, hybrid auto focus and aperture f/2.0 and a front resolution of 5 MP.
