Comparisons Featuring XOLO Era
Short Review
- The XOLO Era features a simple design with dimensions of 143 x 73.2 x 9.4 mm and a weight that feels manageable in hand.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
- Performance is driven by a Spreadtrum 7731 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, providing sufficient power for everyday applications but may struggle with multitasking.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit capable of video recording, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2100 mAh, which supports moderate usage but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated and may limit access to newer applications.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- Overall, the XOLO Era is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
