Comparisons Featuring Lava A59
Short Review
- The Lava A59 features a compact design with dimensions of 134 x 66 x 9.3 mm and a weight of 155g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- It sports a 4.5-inch TFT display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Powered by a quad-core 1.3 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, the performance is suitable for everyday use but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of capturing basic photos and videos, 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 5.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is dated, lacking modern features and updates.
- 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 black and white, offering minimal color choices.
