BenQ A500 Review

Score: 26.1 / 100

BenQ A500 is a low level phone, with a 0.3 megapixels back-facing camera. Great! That's it? No, it's just the starting point.

This cellphone has a 20,48 MB internal memory, which might be low for the vast majority of users knowing that it doesn't ship with an SD card slot to store additional apps and games, photos, videos.

This phone is quite heavy comparing with today standards, weighting 3.46 oz. The BenQ A500 is quite thick for current standards, being as thick as 0.91 inches.

This phone only has a 0.3 megapixels back facing camera.

This phone has a low level screen with a 160 x 128 resolution, making images look less detailed.

This phone packs a small 700 mAh Li-Ion battery that provides this cellphone a below average battery lifecompared to other phones. Benq informs a talk time of 3 hs and a stand by time of 180 hours for this cellphone.

This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM connection.

This cellphone is really overpriced considering it costs $ 779, and some similar devices can be found for much less money.
