Comparisons Featuring Karbonn Smart A12 Star
Short Review
- The Karbonn Smart A12 Star features a compact design with dimensions of 124.2 x 64.2 x 10.1 mm and a weight of 130g, making it portable.
- Its 4.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing sufficient capability for everyday applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, allowing for basic photography, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1400 mAh, which supports moderate usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, along with a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Karbonn Smart A12 Star is a basic smartphone suitable for users with minimal requirements.
- Its features reflect its 2014 release, making it less competitive in today's market.
