Comparisons Featuring Maxwest Astro 5s
Short Review
- The Maxwest Astro 5s features a compact design with dimensions of 144.4 x 72 x 9.1 mm and a weight of 150g, available in White, Black, and Pink 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, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580M chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with demanding applications.
- The camera setup includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of 720p video recording at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is adequate for basic selfies.
- The 2000mAh battery provides limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is dated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Maxwest Astro 5s is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for light usage.
- Its build quality and design are functional, but performance and software limitations may not meet the needs of more demanding users.
