Cons
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Micro-USB and 10W charging
The micro-USB port needs a matching cable, and 10W charging limits how quickly the 5000mAh battery can be replenished. Short top-ups before leaving home are less convenient than with faster charging systems.
Only 32GB of internal storage
Global configurations provide 2GB or 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, some of which is occupied by the system. microSD helps with photos and music but does not remove RAM and application-storage constraints.
Not built for demanding games
The Helio G36 is suited to basic daily tasks. Demanding games, complex editing and heavy multitasking are better served by a more powerful platform.
