Short Review
- The BQ Aquaris M4.5 features a compact design with dimensions of 131.8 x 63.5 x 8.8 mm and a lightweight build at 115 grams.
- It sports a 4.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 245 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6735M chipset, a quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, and options for 1GB or 2GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and a 5 MP front camera, capable of recording video at 720p.
- The battery capacity is 2470 mAh, supporting standard charging without wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is straightforward, though somewhat dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not feature water resistance or stereo speakers, and it includes a standard headphone jack.
- Available in black and white, the BQ Aquaris M4.5 offers a basic smartphone experience with essential features.
- Overall, it is suitable for users seeking a simple, functional device.
