Comparisons Featuring Energizer Energy 500

Short Review

  • The Energizer Energy 500 features a robust design with dimensions of 152.3 x 80.6 x 18.8 mm and a weight of 284g, making it relatively bulky.
  • Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi, although it lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
  • The rear camera boasts a 13 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • The 3000 mAh battery supports standard charging but lacks wireless capabilities, which may limit convenience.
  • Running on Android 4.4 (KitKat), the software experience is dated and may not support newer applications.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack, catering to traditional audio needs.
  • Overall, the Energizer Energy 500 is a basic smartphone with functional features but limited performance and modern capabilities.
  • Its build quality and battery life may appeal to users seeking durability over advanced technology.
