Comparisons Featuring Gigabyte GSmart Alto A2
Short Review
- The Gigabyte GSmart Alto A2 features a simple design with a plastic build available in black and white.
- Its 5.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for detailed visuals.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6572 chipset with a dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing sufficient power for everyday applications, though multitasking may be limited.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of capturing basic images and videos, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery capacity stands at 2000 mAh, which may require frequent charging given the device's performance demands.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated, lacking modern features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- While it lacks advanced features such as OIS or HDR, it includes a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Overall, the Gigabyte GSmart Alto A2 serves as a basic smartphone for users with minimal requirements.
