Short Review
- The Celkon A518 features a simple design with dimensions of 145 x 73 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 164g, available in blue and white colors.
- Its 5.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which may not provide the sharpest visuals.
- Performance is powered by a Spreadtrum 7715 chipset with a 1.0 GHz CPU and Mali-400 GPU, supported by 4GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The rear camera has a resolution of 3.15 MP, while the front-facing camera is 1.3 MP, both of which are limited in capability.
- The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, providing basic longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Celkon A518 is a basic smartphone suitable for essential functions without advanced features.
