performance
Quad-core 1.8 GHz, 2GB RAMThe Helio A20 and 2GB RAM handle basic tasks like messaging and web browsing, but expect lag in maps, multitasking, or any app heavier than email and social media.
battery
3000 mAh, roughly half a dayWith this capacity and a modest chipset, you are looking at about 5 to 7 hours of screen time before needing to recharge, so this is not a phone you leave home without a charger for.
display
5.45″ 720×1440, 295 ppiThe low resolution means text and icons are noticeably chunky up close, and the TFT LCD panel has weak viewing angles and color, so reading in direct sunlight is hard.
camera
8MP main, 1080p30, no zoomYou can shoot basic daytime snapshots and video, but distant subjects will be blurry and low-light shots will be grainy; the 5MP selfie camera is adequate for video calls only.
connectivity
LTE Cat4, dual-SIM, Wi-Fi acLTE speed maxes out around 150 Mbps, which is enough for streaming and web but slow by current standards; dual-SIM is useful for work/personal or roaming, and Wi-Fi ac covers most home networks.
storage
16GB internal, microSDHC slot16GB fills up fast once Android takes space; the microSDHC slot lets you add storage, but access speeds are slow and some apps refuse to run from a card.
