Comparisons Featuring Celkon AR40

Short Review

  • The Celkon AR40 features a compact design with dimensions of 126.2 x 64 x 10.8 mm and a weight of 126.5g, making it lightweight and 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, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.3 GHz CPU paired with 4GB of RAM, providing adequate speed for everyday applications, though storage is limited to 4GB with only 512MB RAM available.
  • The camera setup includes a 3.15 MP rear camera capable of video recording, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The 1500mAh battery capacity is modest, supporting basic usage without fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated, but it includes essential features like a headphone jack.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device is available in a bright yellow color, adding a distinctive touch to its overall aesthetic.
  • While it lacks advanced features and modern specifications, it serves basic communication and media needs.
  • Overall, the Celkon AR40 is a straightforward device suitable for users with minimal requirements.
