Comparisons Featuring Celkon A79

Short Review

  • The Celkon A79 features a compact design with dimensions of 115 x 62 x 13 mm and a lightweight build at 98 grams.
  • Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 420 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 151 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz CPU, but the lack of RAM limits multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera has a resolution of 3.15 MP, allowing for basic photography, while the absence of a front camera restricts selfie options.
  • The 1300 mAh battery provides limited usage time without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread), the software experience is outdated and lacks modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
  • Overall, the Celkon A79 is a basic phone suitable for essential functions but lacks advanced features and performance.
  • Its design and build quality are functional, but it may not meet the needs of users seeking more from their mobile devices.
