Comparisons Featuring Micromax Bolt Q338
Short Review
- The Micromax Bolt Q338 features a compact design with dimensions of 142.5 x 71 x 9.3 mm and a weight of 157g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset, a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with autofocus, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, which supports standard usage but lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 5.1 Lollipop, the software experience is straightforward but may feel dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio.
