Comparisons Featuring Parla Sonic 3.5S
Short Review
- The Parla Sonic 3.5S features a compact design with dimensions of 117.8 x 63 x 11.7 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 powered by a Spreadtrum 7715 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 512MB of RAM, suitable for light usage but may struggle with multitasking.
- The rear camera is a 2 MP unit capable of autofocus, producing modest quality images, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery capacity stands at 1300 mAh, providing limited longevity without fast charging or wireless options.
- The device runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat), which is outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a headphone jack, catering to basic connectivity needs.
- Available in black and white, the design is simple and functional, though lacking in premium materials or water resistance.
- Overall, the Parla Sonic 3.5S is a basic device suitable for users with minimal requirements.
