Comparisons Featuring Energizer Energy S500E

Short Review

  • The Energizer Energy S500E features a simple design with a glass front and plastic back, measuring 145.5 x 74.8 x 8.9 mm and weighing 167 grams.
  • Its 5.0-inch TN TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP and can record video at 480p, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • The 2000 mAh battery offers minimal longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the software experience is dated and lacks modern features.
  • 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 equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack.
  • Overall, while the Energizer Energy S500E meets basic smartphone needs, it falls short in performance, camera quality, and software updates.
  • Special features are minimal, limiting its appeal in a competitive market.
