AGM H5 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

AGM H5 - clear advantages, critical disadvantages

The rise in user interest in the Chinese company AGM was swift, but fleeting. After several successful and high-tech models, the manufacturer started creating rather controversial and controversial phones that cannot be compared with previously released devices. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review was no exception to this rule.

The appearance of the novelty should be praised for its originality. The stylish grille of the incredibly loud speaker ( 109 dB ), the interesting design of the triple camera and the fingerprint scanner benefit the exterior, as does the 20-megapixel selfie camera. But even without minuses, an inexpensive secure device could not do. Moisture protection according to IP68 standards negatively affected the dimensions of the gadget, the screen frame is hard to miss. The 6.52-inch IPS display is mediocre. It does not set records for clarity due to HD + resolution, and the brightness margin is far from always enough. So, on the street on a summer day, it is unlikely that anything will be considered.

Technical characteristics also came out peculiar. The ancient Mediatek Helio P35 CPU is characterized by modest performance, which is why even the Android 12 interface sometimes upsets with lags and excessive thoughtfulness. There is also a time lag when launching applications. 4GB/6GB of RAM and a PowerVR GE8320 video processor don't fix the situation. Fans of Android games will have to settle for mostly undemanding 2D projects. At the same time, there are no problems with the amount of internal memory. Even if 64 / 128GB of ROM will come to an end, they can be expanded with MicroSD cards .

Surprisingly, the photo capabilities of 48-, 20- and 2-megapixel modules evoke rather positive emotions. If the portrait sensor and the night vision sensor are close to being useless in practice, then the main camera easily copes with daytime photos and gives chances for a quality evening shot. Of course, for fruitful shooting in poor lighting, you will need more than one take. There is hardly a person who is ready to criticize the autonomy of the device. A 7000mAh battery is enough for almost 15 hours of active screen time. The only pity is that there is no fast charging, as well as its wireless counterpart. But NFC contactless payments are present, which will please lovers of shopping. As a result, we have a bulky and low-performance smartphone, which is not deprived of good photomodules, powerful sound and, in general, good functionality. However, we cannot unequivocally recommend an Android phone for purchase.
