Short Review

  • The Archos 50b Helium 4G features a simple design with dimensions of 145 x 71.5 x 9 mm and a weight of 160g, making it relatively lightweight.
  • It has a 5.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 chipset, a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which supports basic multitasking.
  • The rear camera offers 8 MP with autofocus and can record video at 1080p@30fps, while the front camera is limited to 2 MP.
  • The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, which may require frequent recharging due to its modest size.
  • Running on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat), the software experience is somewhat dated but functional.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, though it lacks 5G support.
  • The device does not feature water resistance or stereo speakers, and it has a standard headphone jack.
  • Overall, the Archos 50b Helium 4G is a basic smartphone suitable for essential tasks.
