Comparisons Featuring NIU Niutek 3.5D2
Short Review
- The NIU Niutek 3.5D2 features a compact design with dimensions of 116 x 61 x 11.5 mm and a lightweight build at 98 grams.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6572M chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 2GB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 2 MP rear camera that can record video at 480p, while the absence of a front camera restricts selfie options.
- The 1200 mAh battery capacity supports basic usage but lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience may feel outdated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in multiple colors including black, white, blue, green, and red.
- Special features are minimal, with no water resistance or advanced audio options.
- Overall, the NIU Niutek 3.5D2 is a basic phone suitable for essential functions.
