Comparisons Featuring Celkon A86
Short Review
- The Celkon A86 features a compact design with a 3.5-inch TFT display, offering a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels at approximately 165 ppi.
- Its build is simple, available in black and white, but lacks modern materials and water resistance.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6515M chipset with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and 512MB of RAM, which limits multitasking capabilities.
- The PowerVR SGX531 GPU handles basic graphics, but overall performance may feel sluggish by today’s standards.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP, capable of video recording, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery life is supported by a 1400 mAh capacity, but it does not support fast charging or wireless options.
- Running on Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread), the software experience is outdated, lacking many features found in newer versions.
- 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 headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Overall, the Celkon A86 is a basic smartphone with limited features suitable for essential tasks.
