Comparisons Featuring Maxwest Astro 3.5
Short Review
- The Maxwest Astro 3.5 features a compact design with dimensions of 118.6 x 62 x 11 mm and a weight of 125g, making it lightweight and portable.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is suitable for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking and demanding applications.
- The rear camera is a basic 2 MP unit capable of 720p video recording, while the front lacks a selfie camera entirely.
- The 1400mAh battery provides limited usage time and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated, lacking modern features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in multiple colors, including White, Black, Pink, Blue, and Gold.
- Overall, the Astro 3.5 is a basic phone suitable for essential functions but falls short in performance and features compared to contemporary devices.
- Special features are minimal, with no water resistance or advanced capabilities.
