Editorial note

The Gigabyte Essence stands out with a smooth user experience, thanks to its 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, although it is worth noting that the RAM of only 0.5 GB may limit performance when using multiple applications simultaneously. Common tasks are generally well managed, but the internal storage capacity of 8 GB may prove insufficient for users wishing to keep many applications and multimedia files. In terms of battery life, the 1600 mAh battery offers satisfactory performance, ensuring up to 12 hours of talk time, which is ideal for daily use. The lightweight design of 125 g and the compact dimensions of the device allow for a pleasant grip and easy transport, thus contributing to good ergonomics. However, some features may pose problems. The Android 4.4 version, while ergonomic, is outdated and could restrict access to modern applications. Additionally, the screen resolution of 854 x 480 pixels may seem low compared to current standards, affecting visual quality when viewing content. Finally, the 5 MP rear camera may not satisfy users looking for high-quality photos, especially in low-light conditions. In summary, the Gigabyte Essence is a smartphone that meets basic needs with a pleasant daily use, but it has limitations in terms of performance and advanced features.
