Haier W716 Review

Score: 45.8 / 100

Haier W716 is a bit outdated cellphone, packing an exceptional Dual-Core processing unit running at 1.3 GHz, a 2 MP back side camera and a medium 4-inches touch-screen.

Haier decided to sell this phone with a high-tech 1300 megahertz Dual-Core processing unit, packed into a MediaTek MTK6572 chip with only 512 MB RAM which is a bit low for such a solid phone. To handle graphic calculations, this phone also has an ARM Mali-400 graphic processing unit running at 500 MHz. This phone has a medium 4 GB internal storage memory, which is quite good having that it also has a slot for SD memory cards to store songs, photos and videos and even some apps that can be installed in the external memory.

It seems like Haier decided not to care so much about the weight in this 5.29 oz cellphone. Haier offers this cellphone in a variety of colors like black, yellow, blue and white. The Haier W716 is quite thin, but it's not so thin as many other cellphones currently available, with a thickness of 0.43".

Haier packed this cellphone with a good looking 4-inches screen, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , making everything look vivid.

This cellphone offers wifi connectivity (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ (4G) connection type, that is not so fast as LTE-A or LTE networks and fast 3G connection type, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone comes with 2 SIM cards to be able to to work with two different carriers or phone lines in the same device.

This device is equipped with only a 2 megapixels back facing camera.

This device also features a handful of interesting characteristics such as Bluetooth (for communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Haier W716 counts with a medium capacity 1400 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that provides this phone a poor battery duration. This phone has an aproximate 10 hs stand by time and a 6 hs talk time according to Haier.

This device costs 105 dollars, expensive for this type of device. Haier also sells this phone with USB cable, headphones and Charger.
