TP-LINK Neffos Y5L Smartphone Review

Mobile/Smart Phones by stefan @ 2016-09-27

The 4.5’’ Neffos Y5L smartphone from TP-LINK is reaching the low-end segment by incorporating a Snapdragon 210 32-bit SoC, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory (which can be further expanded via MicroSD cards). The back 5MP shooter is quite average, while the screen choice for this model is TN, which lowers the viewing angles, while the screen is harder to read during day light.

The screen does sport a 4.5’’ diagonal, with a pretty low resolution of 854x480, so it won’t put a lot of strain on the included Qualcomm MSM8209 ARM Cortex-A7 1.1GHz SoC:

On the top area we’ve got the proximity sensor, the light sensor, the speaker, one 2MP camera for selfies but also a notification LED:

The Android Back, Home and Menu buttons are capacitive and not OS-based on the actual screen; a nice feature is that these light up for a bit when touched, so are visible even during low-light conditions; a TP-LINK logo is present right under these:

On the bottom area of the smartphone we’ve got the USB port, but also the microphone port:
