Comparisons Featuring Huawei U8687 Cronos
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.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7225A Snapdragon S1 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 4GB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
- The Adreno 200 GPU supports basic graphics, suitable for simple applications and games.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP, capable of capturing basic images, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- Battery specifications are not provided, but the device does not support wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience may feel outdated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone includes a headphone jack, which is a useful feature for audio connectivity.
- Overall, the Huawei U8687 Cronos is a basic smartphone that meets fundamental communication needs.
