Short Review
- The BenQ A500 features a compact design with dimensions of 83.5 x 45 x 23.1 mm and a weight of 98g, making it portable.
- Its 1.9-inch TFT display supports 256K colors with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 108 ppi.
- Performance is limited with 20MB of storage and 20GB of RAM, which may restrict multitasking capabilities.
- The camera is basic, offering a VGA rear camera without optical image stabilization or a selfie camera.
- Battery life is supported by a 700mAh capacity, but it lacks fast charging and wireless charging options.
- The software environment is unspecified, and there are no stereo speakers or headphone jack available.
- Connectivity options are minimal, with no support for 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC.
- The device is available in three colors: Electric Blue, Cool Pink, and Funky Gold.
- Overall, the BenQ A500 is a straightforward phone with essential features and basic functionality.
- It may appeal to users seeking a simple device without advanced capabilities.
