Comparisons Featuring Maxwest Nitro 5
Short Review
- The Maxwest Nitro 5 features a compact design with dimensions of 145.6 x 72 x 9.6 mm and a weight of 155g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 220 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Spreadtrum SC7731 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 25fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 2000mAh battery provides limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated and may not support newer applications.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in silver, black, and gray colors, but lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the Maxwest Nitro 5 is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for light usage.
