Comparisons Featuring Archos 53 Platinum
Short Review
- The Archos 53 Platinum features a plastic build with dimensions of 153.6 x 78 x 9.3 mm and a weight of 189.9g, making it relatively comfortable to hold.
- Its 5.3-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 208 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-resolution content.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8225Q Snapdragon S4 Play chipset, with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU and Adreno 203 GPU, paired with 4GB of RAM, providing decent multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera features an 8 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 2800 mAh capacity, though it lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The device runs on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), which is outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Archos 53 Platinum offers basic functionality with no standout features.
- It is a straightforward device suitable for users with minimal requirements.
