Comparisons Featuring Plum Link

Short Review

  • The Plum Link features a simple design with dimensions of 193 x 120 x 11 mm and a weight of 260g, available in black and white.
  • Its 7.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 133 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy and sharpness.
  • Performance is powered by a 1.2 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities and responsiveness.
  • The camera system includes a 1.3 MP rear camera, which is basic and lacks advanced features like optical image stabilization, while there is no front-facing camera for selfies.
  • The 2800 mAh battery supports standard usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is outdated and lacks modern features.
  • Connectivity options are limited to Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and miniUSB 2.0, with no support for Bluetooth or NFC.
  • The device does not support 5G networks, which may hinder future connectivity.
  • Overall, the Plum Link is a basic device suitable for essential functions but lacks the performance and features of more contemporary smartphones.
  • Its design and build quality are functional, but the overall experience may not meet the needs of users seeking advanced capabilities.
