Short Review

  • The Archos 55 Cobalt Plus features a plastic build with dimensions of 152.5 x 77 x 8.3 mm and weighs 130g, making it relatively lightweight.
  • Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi, suitable for everyday use.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6735P chipset, a quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, and 2GB of RAM, which handles basic tasks adequately.
