Parla Sonic 3.5 Overall Review

The Parla Sonic 3.5, announced in September 2013, is a budget-friendly Android smartphone designed for basic mobile phone users. It features a modest 3.5-inch display with a resolution that fits its entry-level nature. Powered by a Spreadtrum SC7710G chipset and equipped with 512 MB of RAM, the Sonic 3.5 targets those who need a straightforward, no-frills communication device.

With 512 MB of storage, users will find enough space for essential apps and media, although the use of a microSD card may be necessary for additional storage needs. The device comes with a 2 MP primary camera, catering to basic photography and capturing life’s moments without the complexity of higher-end smartphone cameras.

The 1300 mAh battery in the Parla Sonic 3.5 is sufficient for its hardware, ensuring that the phone can last through a day of typical use. This smartphone runs on an older version of Android, which means it might not support the latest apps and features but remains a reliable choice for calling, texting, and light app use.
