Comparisons Featuring Karbonn A34

Short Review

  • The Karbonn A34 features a basic design with dimensions of 197 x 124 x 12.3 mm and a weight of 335g, making it relatively bulky.
  • It sports a 7.0-inch TFT display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 133 ppi, which may not provide sharp visuals.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6515 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and 4GB of RAM, sufficient for basic tasks but limited for demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is 2 MP, capable of video recording, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • Battery capacity stands at 3000 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • The device runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which is outdated compared to current standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
  • The proprietary USB port is present, and the headphone jack is included for audio output.
  • Overall, the Karbonn A34 is a basic device suitable for essential functions but limited in performance and features.
  • Its build quality and design reflect its entry-level status in the smartphone market.
