Asus P526 Review

Score: 33.9 / 100

Asus P526 is a quite basic Windows Mobile Professional cellphone, equipped with a 2.6" screen and a 2 mega-pixels back-facing camera. Is that all? Not at all, it's just the starting point of a much deeper review.

Though this phone is 4.33" long and 2.28" wide, it only holds a way smaller 2.6 inches display. This phone is a bit thick compared to nowadays devices, with a thickness of 0.6 inches. This device is a bit heavy for a cellphone this size, with a weight of 4.05 oz.

Asus designed this cellphone with a nice 2.6" screen, and a 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution, giving this cellphone a nice graphical experience. This screen uses TFT resistive technology, but it's not multi-touch.

This phone counts with 3G internet connection, using EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone only has a 2 MP back-facing camera. It can also shoot videos in 220x176.

This device packs a 1300 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion removable battery that provides the Asus P526 a quite short battery duration comparing with other similar cellphones. Asus informs a 5 hours talk time and a 150 hs stand by time for this cellphone.
