Comparisons Featuring Samsung I405 Stratosphere
Short Review
- The Samsung I405 Stratosphere features a compact design with dimensions of 126 x 65 x 14 mm and a weight of 164g, making it relatively easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 233 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a 1.0 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p, while the front-facing camera is limited to 1.3 MP.
- The 1800 mAh battery supports standard usage but lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is outdated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in Noble Black, though it lacks water resistance features.
- Overall, the Stratosphere is a basic smartphone with limited capabilities in terms of performance and camera quality.
- Special features are minimal, reflecting its 2011 release date.
