Short Review

  • The Huawei U8687 Cronos features a compact design with dimensions of 117.1 x 62 x 12.5 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
  • Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
