Short Review
- The Icemobile G8 features a large 7.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels, providing a basic visual experience at approximately 170 ppi.
- Its build dimensions are 190 x 110 x 13 mm, weighing 320 grams, which may feel bulky for some users.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6572 chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Mali-400 GPU, but it lacks RAM, which limits multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of capturing basic images, while there is no front camera for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2600 mAh, which supports standard usage but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated and may not support newer applications.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in white, black, and blue colors, offering limited aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the Icemobile G8 is a basic device with essential features but lacks modern enhancements.
- Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on basic functionality without advanced capabilities.
