Yezz C32
- Potentially better battery life due to less powerful chipset.
- Likely the more affordable option.
- Simpler operating system experience due to limited processing power.
- Significantly slower performance compared to the Andy 6EL LTE.
- Struggles with multitasking and demanding apps.
- Outdated Cortex-A7 architecture.
Yezz Andy 6EL LTE
- Faster and more responsive performance thanks to the quad-core Cortex-A53.
- LTE connectivity for faster data speeds.
- Better suited for light web browsing and social media.
- Potentially shorter battery life due to the more powerful chipset.
- May be slightly more expensive than the Yezz C32.
- Still limited by its budget hardware.
Display Comparison
Neither Yezz provides detailed display specifications. However, given their price points, both likely utilize LCD panels with resolutions around 480x854. The Andy 6EL LTE’s inclusion of ‘LTE’ suggests a potentially larger display size to better accommodate data-intensive tasks. Color accuracy and brightness are likely to be similar – basic, and not geared towards media consumption.
Camera Comparison
Detailed camera specifications are unavailable for either device. Given the target market, expect basic camera sensors – likely 5MP or 8MP main sensors with limited features. Image quality will be heavily reliant on software processing, and low-light performance will be poor on both. Any mention of a 'macro' camera on either device should be viewed with skepticism, as its utility will be minimal.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The Yezz C32’s Unisoc T107, built on a 22nm process and featuring a single 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 core, is significantly less powerful than the Yezz Andy 6EL LTE’s Mediatek MT6735A. The MT6735A boasts a quad-core Cortex-A53 configuration clocked at 1.3 GHz, fabricated on a 28nm process. The Cortex-A53 architecture is a substantial improvement over the older Cortex-A7, offering better multi-core performance and efficiency. This translates to faster app loading times, smoother scrolling, and a more responsive user interface on the Andy 6EL LTE. The 28nm process, while not leading-edge, is still more efficient than the 22nm process of the Unisoc T107.
Battery Life
Battery capacity details are missing. However, considering the less demanding chipset in the Yezz C32, it may achieve slightly better battery life despite potentially having a smaller capacity. The Andy 6EL LTE’s more powerful processor will consume more power, but its LTE connectivity will allow for more efficient data usage, potentially offsetting some of the increased power draw. Charging speeds are likely to be slow on both devices, utilizing standard micro-USB charging.
Buying Guide
Buy the Yezz C32 if you need a phone for extremely basic tasks – calls, texts, and very light app usage – and are on the absolute tightest budget. Its Unisoc T107 chipset will struggle with multitasking or demanding applications. Buy the Yezz Andy 6EL LTE if you prefer a phone capable of handling more than just the essentials, including light web browsing, social media, and occasional gaming, thanks to its more powerful Mediatek chipset.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Will the Mediatek MT6735A in the Andy 6EL LTE struggle with popular apps like Facebook or WhatsApp?
While the MT6735A is an entry-level chipset, it's generally capable of running apps like Facebook and WhatsApp without significant issues. However, expect some lag when switching between apps or loading complex content. It's not designed for heavy multitasking or graphically intensive applications.
❓ Is the Yezz C32 suitable for someone who primarily uses their phone for calls and texts?
Yes, the Yezz C32 is perfectly adequate for basic communication tasks like calls and texts. Its Unisoc T107 chipset is sufficient for these functions, and its lower power consumption may result in longer battery life for those use cases.
❓ Does the Yezz Andy 6EL LTE support VoLTE (Voice over LTE)?
The inclusion of 'LTE' in the name suggests it *should* support VoLTE, but this depends on carrier compatibility. You'll need to check with your mobile carrier to confirm VoLTE support for the Yezz Andy 6EL LTE on their network.
❓ Can I expect to play games on either of these phones?
Simple, 2D games may be playable on both devices, but don't expect a smooth experience. The Yezz Andy 6EL LTE will handle them slightly better due to its more powerful chipset, but even then, frame rates will likely be low and graphics settings will need to be minimized.
