Comparisons Featuring Huawei Ascend Y540
Short Review
- The Huawei Ascend Y540 features a compact design with dimensions of 134.2 x 67 x 10.3 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 4.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking in vibrancy.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor, paired with 4GB of RAM, which provides adequate functionality for everyday use.
- The Mali-400 GPU supports basic graphics needs, though it may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit capable of recording 720p video, while the front lacks a selfie camera altogether.
- Battery capacity stands at 1950 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- The device runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat), which may feel outdated compared to newer software versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in black and white, but lacks water resistance features.
- Overall, the Huawei Ascend Y540 is a basic smartphone suitable for essential tasks and communication.
