Comparisons Featuring Orange Monte Carlo
Short Review
- The Orange Monte Carlo features a compact design with dimensions of 125.9 x 67.8 x 10.4 mm and a weight of 120g, making it portable.
- Its 4.3-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 217 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by an 800 MHz CPU paired with 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking and demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of capturing decent images, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1400 mAh, providing limited endurance, and it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is outdated, lacking modern features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack are notable features for audio.
- Overall, the Orange Monte Carlo is a basic smartphone with limited capabilities, reflecting its 2011 release.
- Its design and build quality are functional, but it may not meet the needs of today's users.
