Short Review

  • The Archos 50 Cobalt features a compact design with dimensions of 141.5 x 71.5 x 9.2 mm and a weight of 135g, making it easy to handle.
  • Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
  • Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6735P chipset, a quad-core 1.0 GHz CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front-facing 2 MP camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • The battery capacity is 2000mAh, which may require frequent recharging due to moderate usage.
  • Running on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is relatively outdated compared to current standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
  • The device does not feature water resistance and has no stereo speakers, but it includes a headphone jack.
  • Overall, the Archos 50 Cobalt offers basic functionality with modest specifications suitable for everyday tasks.
  • Its design and build quality are adequate for casual users.
