Comparisons Featuring Lava A51
Short Review
- The Lava A51 features a compact design with dimensions of 136 x 66 x 9.9 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 4.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
- Powered by a quad-core 1.2 GHz Spreadtrum SC7731C chipset and 512MB of RAM, the performance is adequate for everyday use but may struggle with multitasking.
- The rear camera has a 5 MP sensor, capable of capturing basic images, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The device is equipped with a 1750 mAh battery, which provides limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the software experience is basic and lacks modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in Gray, Black, and Gold colors, offering limited aesthetic choices.
- The absence of water resistance and stereo speakers may be a drawback for some users.
