Celkon A500 Review
Score: 48.4 / 100
Celkon A500 is a fair quality Android device, packed with a big 5" screen, a high speed Dual-Core processing unit speeding at 1300 megahertz, and 2 cameras, a 5 megapixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera. That's all? No, it's only the introduction of this extreme review.
The Celkon A500 comes with a MediaTek MT6572M system chip, packing a very powerful Dual-Core processor ticking at 1.3 gigahertz and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little bit disappointing comparing with this cellphone's great CPU. Helping with graphic rendering, it also uses a 500 MHz ARM Mali-400 graphic processing unit. The Celkon A500 comes with an 8 GB quite large internal storage and an SD memory slot, which allows you to install a couple hundred games and applications without running out of space.
Whereas this cellphone just has 5.57 inches long and 2.86" wide, it's still able to fit a a 5 inches display. This phone is very slim and practical, being just 0.39" thick. Celkon made a really good job making this cellphone as lightweight as 5.19 oz. This cellphone is available in 2 color options, black and white.
This phone has two cameras, a 5 MP back side camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera.
The Celkon A500 is equipped with a good level 5-inches screen with a 854 x 480 resolution, making everything look quite good.
The Celkon A500 features a good 2000 mAh Li-Ion battery providing this cellphone with a quite short battery duration.
The Celkon A500 includes Wi-Fi connection (and it can provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and 3G internet connection, over EDGE technologies. This cellphone supports dual sim cards so it is able to use two different phone numbers or carriers at the same time.
This phone also comes with some cool features as Bluetooth, GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
The Celkon A500 is being sold for about $ 249, high for comparing with other similar cellphones.
