Comparisons Featuring NIU Tek 5D
Short Review
- The NIU Tek 5D features a simple design with a plastic build, measuring 156.3 x 74.2 x 9.3 mm and weighing 150g.
- Its 5.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 245 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6572M chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The Mali-400 GPU handles graphics, though it may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of recording video at 480p@30fps, while the front camera is a modest 1.3 MP.
- Battery life is supported by a 2000 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device includes a headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Overall, the NIU Tek 5D is a basic smartphone suitable for essential functions.
