Features, Performance, and Reviews for the Plum Gator 5 16GB

Plum Gator 5 16GB 's size

The "Plum Gator 5 16GB" is 76.3mm wide, 148.0mm tall, and 12.0mm thick. The size makes it a bit difficult to use with one hand. In the case of the "Plum Gator 5 16GB", it weighs about 210.0g. It feels a little heavy when held with one hand. It may tire your hand out if you operate it for too long a time.

In giving an overall rating to the "Plum Gator 5 16GB", while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.

Plum Gator 5 16GB 's screen

The "Plum Gator 5 16GB" has a 5.2inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.

The resolution of the "Plum Gator 5 16GB"'s screen is pretty much standard. It shouldn't be a problem for normal use, but it might prove to be a bit dissatisfying for those who wish to better enjoy their photos, videos, or games.

The CPU performance of Plum Gator 5 16GB

The "Plum Gator 5 16GB" has a run-of-the-mill processing power of 1.3GHz×4(4.0-cores), so while you'll be able to play 2D games with ease, it's a little lacking for 3D games. Outside of games, the phone runs most things quite smoothly, but certain apps can cause a bit of slowdown.

The "Plum Gator 5 16GB" has 2.0GB of RAM, so it has plenty of space. In rare cases this amount of RAM might not be sufficient, but there shouldn't be too much stress on the machine with this amount.

The overall operational speed of the "Plum Gator 5 16GB" rates as a mid-range smartphone. While you will probably not experience much sluggishness or lag with normal use, we recommend a phone at least one tier higher if you want to enjoy games or videos.

Plum Gator 5 16GB 's storage capacity

The camera function of Plum Gator 5 16GB

You may be a little dissatisfied with it in some situations, for example when you want to capture scenery in very high resolution or print out beautiful photos, but this should not be an issue you run into very often.

The "Plum Gator 5 16GB" comes with a 5.0MP pixel camera, which is a standard level. It's perfectly fine for selfies, but may be not as satisfying if you wish to take photos of large numbers of people, or make printouts.

The "Plum Gator 5 16GB" has a relatively large battery with 3700.0mAh. The "Plum Gator 5 16GB" has a good battery life compared to other smartphones. You won't feel stressed even if you spend all day surfing the web or on Twitter and you can also watch videos or play games on the go without having to worry too much about the battery.
