NIU Andy 4E2I Overall Review

The NIU Andy 4E2I represents an interesting blend of affordability and functionality for its time. Announced in January 2015, this smartphone features a compact 4.0-inch display, offering a decent visual experience for its category. Powered by the MT6572M chipset and coupled with 512 MB of RAM, the Andy 4E2I is designed to handle basic tasks efficiently, aligning with the expectations for budget smartphones of its era.

Photography on the NIU Andy 4E2I is facilitated by a 5 MP primary camera and a 1.3 MP front camera, catering to the essential photography and video calling needs of its users. Although not groundbreaking, these specifications were quite standard and acceptable within its market segment at the time of release.

One of the critical aspects of this device is its battery capacity. With a 1400 mAh battery, the Andy 4E2I aims to deliver enough power to get through the day, assuming light to moderate use. Storage is another area where the Andy 4E2I meets the basic requirements, offering 4 GB of internal storage with the option to expand via microSD card, a necessary feature for users who like to store music, photos, and apps.
