GIGABYTE GSmart G1317D Review

GIGABYTE GSmart G1317D is a low-end Android device, which counts with a 528 megahertz processing unit, a 3 mega-pixels back side camera and a medium 3.2 inches touch-screen.

The GIGABYTE GSmart G1317D doesn't feel very lightweight for a phone of this size, with a weight of 4.09 oz. The GIGABYTE GSmart G1317D isn't really a compact device, taking into account that it is 4.47" long,but it just contains a 3.2 inches display. This phone is a bit thick for today's standards, with a thickness of 0.52 inches.

Gigabyte decided to equip this cellphone using a fast processor running at 528 megahertz, packed into a Qualcomm MSM7225-1 chip and only 256 MB RAM memory.

This phone is equipped with a interesting 3.2-inches screen with a 400 x 240 resolution, providing this cellphone with a good graphical experience. Its screen uses TFT resistive technology, but it doesn't allow multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone only has a 3 megapixels back-facing camera. In addition, this device's camera also counts with flash.

This phone uses a medium 1260 mAh Li-Polymer removable battery providing this device with a below average battery life. Gigabyte informs a 6.5 hours talk time and a 115 hs stand by time for this device.

The GIGABYTE GSmart G1317D offers WiFi connection (but it can't be provided to other devices acting as a wireless router) and the fastest 3G data connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The GIGABYTE GSmart G1317D supports dual sim so it's able to use 2 different phone lines and even different carriers.

The GIGABYTE GSmart G1317D also includes a handful of cool characteristics like Bluetooth (2.1, EDR) and GPS, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
