Short Review

  • The Maxwest Astro 5 features a compact design with dimensions of 142.8 x 73.4 x 9.3 mm and a weight of 154g, available in multiple colors including White, Black, Blue, and Rose Red.
  • Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6582M chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing sufficient power for everyday applications.
  • The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 25fps, while the 1.3 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • The 2000 mAh battery offers limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated but functional.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and a microUSB 2.0 port, though it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
  • The device does not feature stereo speakers but does include a headphone jack for audio output.
  • Overall, the Maxwest Astro 5 is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
  • Its build quality and performance are adequate for casual users.
