ARCHOS 64 Xenon Review
Score: 48.5 / 100
ARCHOS 64 Xenon is a fair quality phone launched back in 2014, equipped with a great 1300 MHz Quad-Core processor, a 6.4" multi touch screen, an 8 MP back camera and a 2 MP front side camera. But it's time to get into much more details.
This phone is slim and comfortable, with a thickness of just 0.37 inches. The ARCHOS 64 Xenon is just 6.72" long and 3.57 inches wide, but it's still able to fit a a 6.4" screen. This phone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a phone this size.
Archos designed this cellphone with a very good 6.4-inches screen, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, making everything look very good. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.
Archos decided to build the ARCHOS 64 Xenon using an extremely powerful Quad-Core CPU running at 1.3 GHz, bundled in a Mediatek MT6582 system chip and only 1 GB of RAM which is a little bit disappointing considering this phone's awesome CPU. This cellphone comes with a 4 GB internal storage, a decent amount that should be enough for most users having that it also has a slot for external memory cards to store songs, pictures and videos.
This phone includes wifi capability (although it can't provide it to other devices acting as a router or modem), HSPA+ (4G) data connection, which is not so fast as LTE networks and fast 3G connection type, using HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This cellphone uses two SIM cards so it's able to use 2 different phone lines in the same phone.
This cellphone has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 2 megapixels front camera. This phone can also capture videos up to 1280x720 (HD). In addition, the camera has flash and auto-focus.
This phone also includes a couple useful characteristics as Bluetooth and GPS Navigation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
The ARCHOS 64 Xenon has a 2800 mAh big Li-Ion battery that provides the ARCHOS 64 Xenon an extremely long battery duration.
The ARCHOS 64 Xenon is being sold for about $ 249, which is a really high price for comparing with similar phones. This cellphone sells with Quick Start Guide (QSG), Power adapter and USB cable.
