Comparisons Featuring Maxwest Astro 4
Short Review
- The Maxwest Astro 4 features a compact design with dimensions of 125.5 x 64 x 9.8 mm and weighs 122 grams, making it lightweight and portable.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6572M chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 2 MP rear camera capable of recording 720p video, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery life is supported by a 1400 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), which is outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and has a standard headphone jack.
- Available in white and black, the build materials are unspecified, and there is no water resistance.
- Overall, the Maxwest Astro 4 is a basic smartphone suitable for essential tasks.
