Comparisons Featuring Lava Z40
Short Review
- The Lava Z40 features a compact design with dimensions of 125.5 x 63.9 x 11.7 mm and a weight of 120g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch TN TFT LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is powered by a Unisoc SC9832E chipset with a quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is suitable for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The camera system includes a 2 MP rear camera capable of recording 720p video at 30fps and a 2 MP front camera for selfies, both of which are basic in functionality.
- The battery capacity stands at 2250 mAh, and it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition), the software is optimized for lower-end hardware, enhancing overall performance.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in Gold and Glossy Black colors, adding a touch of style to its simple design.
- While it lacks advanced features like stereo speakers and water resistance, it does include a headphone jack for audio connectivity.
- Overall, the Lava Z40 is a basic smartphone suitable for essential functions and casual use.
