Comparisons Featuring Maxwest Astro 6
Short Review
- The Maxwest Astro 6 features a large 6.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, providing a basic viewing experience at approximately 184 ppi.
- Its build dimensions are 166 x 84 x 8.8 mm, weighing 150g, and it is available in multiple colors including white, black, blue, and red.
- Powered by a Mediatek MT6582M chipset and a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, the performance is adequate for basic tasks, supported by 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage.
- The rear camera offers an 8 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front camera is a modest 2 MP.
- The 3000 mAh battery provides reasonable longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- 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 equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- The absence of HDR and stereo speakers limits multimedia capabilities, making it more suitable for basic usage.
- Overall, the Maxwest Astro 6 serves as a simple device for essential functions without advanced features.
