Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy Avant
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy Avant features a compact design with dimensions of 132.9 x 66 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 136.9g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch TFT display has a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, offering a pixel density of approximately 245 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Adreno 305 GPU, paired with 1.5GB of RAM.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The battery capacity is 2100 mAh, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is basic and may feel outdated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
