Short Review
- The Gigabyte GSmart Essence 4 features a compact design with dimensions of 124 x 62 x 9.6 mm and a lightweight build at 105 grams.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6572 chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 2 MP rear camera without optical image stabilization, suitable for simple photography, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery life is supported by a 1300 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat), which may feel outdated compared to newer operating systems.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G support and NFC.
- The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the GSmart Essence 4 is a basic smartphone with essential features, suitable for users with minimal requirements.
- Its design and build quality are functional, but performance and camera capabilities are limited.
