Comparisons Featuring ZTE V821
Short Review
- The ZTE V821 features a compact design with dimensions of 116 x 56.5 x 11.8 mm and a weight of 120g, making it portable.
- Its TFT resistive touchscreen measures 0 inches with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, providing basic visual clarity but limited color depth with only 65K colors.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6516 chipset with a 416 MHz CPU and 256MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The camera system includes a 2 MP rear camera with autofocus, capable of basic photography, but lacks a front-facing camera.
- Battery specifications are not provided, indicating a lack of detailed information on capacity and charging capabilities.
- The device runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo), which is outdated compared to current software standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The build is simple, available in black, with no noted water resistance or premium materials.
- Special features are minimal, with no stereo speakers and a standard headphone jack included.
- Overall, the ZTE V821 is a basic phone suitable for essential tasks.
