Comparisons Featuring ZTE Obsidian
Short Review
- The ZTE Obsidian features a compact design with dimensions of 137.4 x 68.6 x 10.2 mm and a weight of 137.5g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6735M chipset with a quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing adequate speed for everyday use.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera, capable of basic photography but lacking advanced features like optical image stabilization.
- The battery capacity is 1800 mAh, which supports standard usage but may require frequent recharging due to its limited capacity.
- Running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is basic, lacking updates to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack, catering to traditional accessory needs.
- Overall, the ZTE Obsidian is a straightforward device with essential features, suitable for users with minimal requirements.
