Comparisons Featuring Gigabyte GSmart Saga S3
Short Review
- The Gigabyte GSmart Saga S3 features a large 6.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 245 ppi.
- Its build dimensions of 168 x 83 x 8.5 mm and weight of 190 grams give it a substantial feel, though it lacks premium materials and water resistance.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera with autofocus and a 2 MP front camera, suitable for casual photography but lacking advanced features like optical image stabilization.
- Battery life is supported by a 3000 mAh capacity, though it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), which is outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The lack of stereo speakers may limit audio experience, while the presence of a headphone jack is a plus.
- Overall, the GSmart Saga S3 is a basic smartphone with essential features, suitable for users with minimal requirements.
