Short Review
- The Celkon A97i features a compact design with dimensions of 124 x 64 x 11 mm and a weight of 139g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, although it lacks RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 8 MP and supports video recording, but there is no front-facing camera for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 1500 mAh, providing basic power without fast charging or wireless options.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is quite dated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in black and white colors, but lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the Celkon A97i is a basic smartphone with limited features suitable for essential tasks.
