Comparisons Featuring Archos 45 Helium 4G
Short Review
- The Archos 45 Helium 4G features a compact design with dimensions of 135 x 67 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 140g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 207 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset and a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, the performance is suitable for everyday applications, although it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- The device includes 4GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM, which limits multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 1850mAh battery provides moderate usage time, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean), the software experience may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- Overall, the Archos 45 Helium 4G is a basic smartphone that meets essential functionality without advanced features.
