Comparisons Featuring Pantech Breakout

Short Review

  • The Pantech Breakout features a compact design with dimensions of 127 x 64 x 12 mm and a weight of 138 grams, making it easy to handle.
  • Its 4.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is powered by a 1.0 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking given the limited storage of 1GB.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • The 1500 mAh battery provides basic usage but does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience may feel outdated compared to modern standards.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, which is a plus for audio enthusiasts.
  • Overall, the Pantech Breakout is a basic smartphone with essential features but limited capabilities.
  • Its build quality and design are functional, though it may not meet the demands of more advanced users.
