Comparisons Featuring Archos 50b Helium 4G
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.
