Huawei P Smart 2021 in for review

Image
The latest arrival to our office is the Huawei P Smart 2021 smartphone, also sold at some markets as Huawei Y7a. It is an entry-level smartphone that lacks Google services, but brings other promising features like a 48MP camera, a massive battery with fast charging support, and a 6.67” screen with Full HD+ resolution. The retail box of the phone consists of a Huawei SuperCharger that lets you top the phone at up to 22.5W. The technology was initially introduced with the company flagships and it is good to see it trickle to the lower echelons. We have to go through our usual battery tests to see how the power cell performs, but we are hopeful. On the inside, we have a Kirin 710A chipset which is rather unimpressive, but at least the platform is coupled with 4GB RAM.

Unfortunately, that chipset proved quite under-powered for the kind of UI that Microsoft wanted to run. But that was an early single-core chip.   Microsoft Kin One • Microsoft Kin Two The Tegra 2 brought us the first dual core smartphone, the LG Optimus 2X. Released in early 2011, it was a beast - just look at these benchmarks. The JavaScript test was approaching an Intel Atom N270, which was used in netbooks back in the day. The 2X was also the first Android capable of shooting 1080p video. It wasn't good at it as it struggled to maintain even 24 fps, but it was the first. LG Optimus 2X The Motorola Atrix came out around the same time an...
