Comparisons Featuring Huawei Ascend G535

Short Review

  • The Huawei Ascend G535 features a compact design with dimensions of 131 x 65.3 x 7.9 mm and a weight of 145g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
  • Its 4.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 245 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Adreno 305 GPU, paired with 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for everyday use.
  • The rear camera has a 5 MP sensor capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the front-facing camera is limited to 1 MP.
  • The 2000mAh battery provides moderate longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is basic and may not support the latest apps.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device is available in black and white colors, but it lacks water resistance features.
  • Overall, the Ascend G535 is a simple smartphone that covers essential functions without advanced capabilities.
