GoSolo Read / what it means6 takeaways
performance
1.4GHz quad-core, 1GB RAMApps will load slowly and multitasking is not practical; stick to lightweight apps like messaging, calls, and simple web browsing.
battery
2000 mAh, ~4 to 5 hours screen timeYou will run out of charge by midday with moderate use and need to carry a power bank if you are away from home for a full day.
display
5.0 inch TFT LCD, 480x960 pixelsText and icons look soft at 215 ppi density; photos and videos look blocky compared to phones from the past five years, and it will be harder to read outdoors in bright sun.
camera
5MP main, 720p@30fps videoPhotos are low detail and soft, suitable only for clear daylight snapshots; video is standard definition and grainy in low light.
storage
32GB expandable via microSDAfter the OS and basic apps, about 15 to 20GB remains usable; the microSD slot lets you add space for photos and videos, but the base 1GB RAM makes installing lots of apps impractical anyway.
connectivity
LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, microUSB 2.0You get mobile internet and Wi-Fi, but Wi-Fi is the older 2.4GHz standard only and USB charging and file transfers will be slow compared to current phones.
