Comparisons Featuring verykool s5526 Alpha

Short Review

  • The verykool s5526 Alpha features a simple and functional design with dimensions of 152.9 x 76.8 x 8.2 mm and a weight of 148g, making it comfortable to hold.
  • Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi, suitable for everyday use but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
  • The battery capacity stands at 2800mAh, providing decent longevity without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is basic and may not include the latest features found in newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G support and NFC.
  • The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack, catering to traditional audio needs.
  • Overall, the verykool s5526 Alpha is a straightforward smartphone that meets essential requirements without advanced features.
