General Mobile Planet Review

Score: 40.9 / 100

General Mobile Planet is a low end Android phone, having a 5 megapixels back facing camera, a 4-inches touch-screen and a quite powerful processing unit ticking at 1 gigahertz. We will get a better idea about this cellphone's wonders when we get into more details.

General Mobile decided to equip this cellphone using a powerful 1000 megahertz processor. This device counts with a 358,4 MB internal memory, which may be enough for some users considering it also has an SD memory card expansion slot to store photographs and videos and even some apps that allow external memory installation.

This cellphone is quite slim, though it's not as slim as many other cellphones on sale, with a thickness of 0.42". This phone is much lighter than what one would think about a cellphone like this. General Mobile justmade this phone in color black.

This cellphone only has a 5 megapixels back facing camera.

This phone has a very good 4" screen with a 800 x 600 resolution, which makes it hard to see the pixels that compose the screen. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

The General Mobile Planet uses a medium capacity 1650 mAh Li-Ion battery providing this cellphone with a quite short battery life. This device has a reported talk time of 3 hours and a stand by time of 250 hours according to General Mobile.

This cellphone has wi-fi connection (but it can't be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G data connection, over HSPA and EDGE technologies. The General Mobile Planet works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This phone also features a handful of interesting features such as Bluetooth (3.0, EDR) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
