Comparisons Featuring Gigabyte GSmart G1342 Houston
Short Review
- The Gigabyte GSmart G1342 Houston features a compact design with dimensions of 121 x 62.5 x 12.5 mm and a weight of 120g, making it portable.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7225AA Snapdragon S1 chipset with an 800 MHz Cortex-A5 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for light usage.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP, capable of capturing basic photos and videos, but lacks advanced features like optical image stabilization.
- Battery capacity stands at 1500 mAh, providing limited longevity without fast charging or wireless options.
- The device runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which is outdated compared to current software standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the GSmart G1342 Houston is a basic smartphone with essential features, but it may not meet the demands of modern users.
- Its design and build quality are functional, but the specifications reflect its age.
