Short Review
- The Gigabyte GSmart Simba SX1 features a solid build with dimensions of 144 x 73 x 9.5 mm and a weight of 165g, available in black and white.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8230 Snapdragon 400 chipset, a dual-core 1.4 GHz Krait CPU, and 4GB of RAM, which delivers satisfactory multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 13 MP rear camera with autofocus, though it lacks optical image stabilization, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- Battery capacity is 1900 mAh, which may require frequent charging due to its limited power.
