Comparisons Featuring Maxwest Astro 4.5
Short Review
- The Maxwest Astro 4.5 features a compact design with dimensions of 134.3 x 66.7 x 10 mm and a weight of 131g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, providing a basic visual experience with 256K colors.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6572M chipset, featuring a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The 8 MP rear camera captures decent images, though it lacks optical image stabilization and video recording is limited to 720p.
- Battery life is supported by a 1700 mAh capacity, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated and lacks modern features.
- 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, Gold, Gray, and Blue.
- Notably, it includes a headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Overall, the Maxwest Astro 4.5 serves basic smartphone needs without advanced features.
