Short Review
- The HP 8 features a compact design with dimensions of 200.3 x 136.3 x 8 mm and a weight of 313 grams, providing a solid feel in hand.
- Its 7.85-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 768 x 1024 pixels, delivering decent visuals with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
- Performance is powered by a quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 2 MP, suitable for basic photography, while the front lacks a dedicated selfie camera.
- Battery life is supported by a 3800 mAh capacity, although it does not feature fast or wireless charging.
- The device runs on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), providing access to a range of apps, albeit with an older software experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G support.
- The inclusion of stereo speakers enhances audio output, and a headphone jack is available for wired listening.
