Comparisons Featuring Maxwest Astro X55
Short Review
- The Maxwest Astro X55 features a simple design with dimensions of 150.5 x 76.3 x 7.8 mm and a weight of 174g, available in Gold and White.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 267 ppi.
