The verykool s5526 Alpha, announced in May 2017, is a budget Android smartphone that offers a balance of performance and features tailored for basic usage. It sports a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 720×1280 pixels, providing a decent screen size and clarity for its category.
Powered by the MediaTek MT6580 chipset and equipped with 1GB of RAM, the s5526 Alpha is suited for fundamental tasks such as calling, texting, web browsing, and the use of social media apps. This configuration, while modest, is adequate for the phone’s target market of entry-level users.
The device features an 8MP primary camera capable of capturing photos and videos at 1080p, along with a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. These camera specifications are typical for smartphones in its price range, offering users the ability to capture moments with reasonable quality.
With 8GB of internal storage, expandable via microSDXC, users have the flexibility to store photos, applications, and other data. Running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the s5526 Alpha provides access to a broad range of apps from the Google Play Store, although its operating system version is several generations behind the current.
The phone is backed by a 2800mAh battery, which is a solid capacity for its hardware, potentially offering a full day of usage on a single charge, depending on the user’s activity levels.
