Short Review

  • The Allview City Life features a compact design with dimensions of 192.5 x 122 x 7.9 mm and a weight of 282 grams, making it portable but somewhat hefty.
  • Its 7.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 170 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks clarity for high-definition content.
  • Performance is powered by a dual-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and Mali-400 GPU, paired with 8GB of storage and 512MB of RAM, suitable for light usage but limited for multitasking.
  • The camera system is minimal, featuring a VGA rear camera with no optical image stabilization and no front camera, which restricts photography capabilities.
  • The 3000 mAh battery provides decent longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is outdated, limiting access to newer apps and features.
  • Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, along with a headphone jack for audio.
  • Special features are minimal, with no water resistance or stereo speakers.
  • Overall, the Allview City Life is a basic device suitable for simple tasks and casual use.
