Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50 Review
Score: 40.7 / 100Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50 is a low end Android device launched in 2010, which counts with a 3.5 inches display, a fast 600 megahertz processing unit and a 3 megapixels back camera. Let's take a deeper view of what this cellphone has to offer.
Garmin decided to power this phone with a powerful CPU running at 600 megahertz, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227 system chip and only 256 MB of RAM. This phone counts with a 4 GB internal memory, a moderate quantity that should be enough having that it also has an SD card slot .
The Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50 feels a bit heavy for a phone this size, with a weight of 4.9 oz.
The Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50 only features a 3 megapixels back side camera. This cellphone also captures videos in QVGA 320x240 at 30 fps. This camera also includes auto-focus and geo tagging.
Garmin packed this cellphone with a interesting 3.5 inches screen, and a resolution of 480 x 320 , giving this phone a nice graphic quality. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.
The Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50 has a medium sized 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery that provides this cellphone a quite short battery duration. This cellphone has an aproximate stand by time of 600 hs and a talk time of 8 hs.
The Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50 has Wi-Fi capability (but it can't be provided to other devices around, as a mobile mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G data connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50 works with a SIM card to use GSM services.
This device also comes with a couple useful features like Bluetooth (2.1) and GPS Navigation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This phone is not a good choice considering it is offerred for 200 dollars, and other similar cellphones are offerred way cheaper than that.
