NIU Tek 5D Overall Review
The NIU Tek 5D, announced in January 2015, stands as a representation of the budget smartphone segment that caters to basic mobile needs. It features a 5.0-inch display, which is sufficiently large for daily tasks and media consumption. The phone is powered by the MT6572M chipset, paired with 512 MB of RAM, offering modest performance that is suitable for basic applications and usage.
Photography is handled by a 5 MP primary camera and a 1.3 MP front camera, which, while not groundbreaking, allow for basic photo-taking capabilities. The device comes with 4 GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD, providing enough space for essential apps and media for light users.
A 2000 mAh battery fuels the NIU Tek 5D, which is adequate for a day’s use, depending on the usage pattern. Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the Tek 5D provides users access to a wide range of apps and services available on the Google Play Store, albeit limited by the hardware’s performance capabilities.
