Comparisons Featuring Allview X1 Soul Mini
Short Review
- The Allview X1 Soul Mini features a compact design with dimensions of 130.4 x 64.4 x 9.1 mm and a weight of 147.7g, making it lightweight and portable.
- Its 4.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 326 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Powered by a Mediatek MT6589T chipset with a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, the performance is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera boasts an 8 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The 3000 mAh battery provides decent longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Allview X1 Soul Mini is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for casual users.
