Comparisons Featuring Plum Compass LTE
Short Review
- The Plum Compass LTE features a compact design with dimensions of 150 x 71.6 x 9.3 mm and a weight of 146 grams, making it easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch TN TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy and clarity.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6737M chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for light usage but may struggle with multitasking.
- The camera setup includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of 720p video recording at 30fps and a 5 MP front camera for selfies, providing basic photography capabilities.
- The 2100 mAh battery offers limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 7.0 Nougat, the software experience is straightforward but may lack the latest features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, while it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in multiple colors, including Black, Gray, Gold, Rose Gold, and White.
- Overall, the Plum Compass LTE is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
- Special features are minimal, with no water resistance or stereo speakers included.
