Gigabyte GSmart G1355 Overall
The Gigabyte GSmart G1355, unveiled in February 2012, targets the budget-conscious user seeking functionality within an Android smartphone. Featuring a 4.3-inch display, it falls into the category of compact devices, catering to users who prefer a balance between screen size and portability. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 chipset and equipped with 512 MB of RAM, the G1355 is designed for basic tasks, offering a user experience that, while not cutting-edge, is sufficient for day-to-day activities like browsing, social media, and light multimedia consumption.
Photography on the G1355 is handled by a 5 MP primary camera, ensuring that users can capture moments with reasonable clarity for the phone’s tier. Storage concerns are mitigated by a microSD card slot, allowing for expansion beyond the device’s internal capacity. Moreover, its dual-SIM capability is a standout feature, catering to users who need to manage two numbers simultaneously, whether for separating personal and work contacts or for traveling. The device runs on Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread), which, by today’s standards, is considerably outdated but was more common at the time of the phone’s release. Finally, the 1500 mAh battery underscores the phone’s intended use as a more basic smartphone, offering enough power to get through the day under moderate use.
