Editorial note

The Archos Platinum 50 stands out with its 5-inch IPS display, offering vibrant colors and a pleasant visual experience. However, its resolution of 960 x 540 pixels may seem insufficient for some users, especially when consuming multimedia content. In terms of performance, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4-core processor at 1.2 GHz ensures smooth usage for everyday tasks.

The 2000 mAh battery provides decent autonomy for daily use, although heavy users may wish for a higher capacity. In terms of design, the smartphone has a modern look, but the lack of certain connectivity options, such as an HDMI port, limits its appeal to connected users. Regarding features, the Archos Platinum 50 offers modern connections such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. However, the low internal storage capacity of 8 GB and the absence of a modern charging connector may disappoint some users. Finally, the 8 MP rear camera delivers satisfactory results, but the 2 MP front camera may not meet the expectations of selfie enthusiasts. Overall, the Archos Platinum 50 is a smartphone with an interesting price-to-quality ratio, but it has limitations that may not suit all users.
