Comparisons Featuring Huawei Ascend G730
Short Review
- The Huawei Ascend G730 features a robust design with dimensions of 149.5 x 78 x 9.6 mm and a weight of 180 grams, available in black and white.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 200 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
- Performance is powered by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, allowing for smooth operation in everyday applications, though it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front lacks a dedicated selfie camera.
- The battery capacity is 2300 mAh, providing moderate usage time without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) with EMUI 2, the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device features a microUSB 2.0 port and includes a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Overall, the Huawei Ascend G730 is a functional device suitable for users with minimal requirements.
- Special features are limited, focusing primarily on essential smartphone functions.
