Short Review

  • The Gigabyte GSmart Rio R1 features a compact design with dimensions of 124.2 x 63.8 x 10.5 mm and a weight of 130.5g, making it lightweight and portable.
  • Its 4.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon S4 Play chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which provides adequate functionality for everyday use.
  • The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • The 1500 mAh battery offers limited endurance, with no fast charging or wireless charging capabilities.
  • Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is dated compared to current standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device is available in multiple color options, including Black, Black/White, Black/Blue, Black/Pink, and Black/Yellow.
  • Overall, the GSmart Rio R1 is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for light users.
  • Special features are minimal, with no water resistance or stereo speakers.
