Comparisons Featuring Celkon A43
Short Review
- The Celkon A43 features a compact design with dimensions of 124 x 63 x 8.5 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- It sports a 4.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.3 GHz CPU paired with 1GB of RAM, allowing for basic multitasking but limited by its 4GB internal storage.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of capturing decent images, while the front-facing 1.3 MP camera suffices for simple selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 1400 mAh capacity, which may require frequent charging due to its limited size.
- The device runs on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), which is outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0, but it lacks modern features like 5G and NFC.
- The absence of water resistance and premium materials is notable, as is the lack of stereo speakers.
- Overall, the Celkon A43 is a basic smartphone suitable for essential functions.
- Its limited specifications reflect its position in the market at the time of release in 2014.
