Editorial note

The Hisense U98 smartphone has several advantages that make it an interesting choice for users looking for an entry-level model. Its 4.5-inch screen provides a pleasant visual experience with vibrant colors, although the resolution of 960 x 540 pixels may seem limited for high-definition content. The 8 MP rear camera with auto-focus and flash allows for capturing precious moments with decent image quality, while the lightweight of 140 g and its compact dimensions make it easy to handle on a daily basis. In terms of connectivity, the Hisense U98 supports 2G and 3G standards, and allows for memory expansion up to 32 Go via a MicroSD card, which is appreciated for data storage. Its 1700 mAh battery offers reasonable autonomy, with up to 6.5 hours of talk time on 2G, which is sufficient for moderate use. The Android 4.1 operating system, while smooth, is somewhat outdated, limiting access to the latest applications. However, the product also has notable drawbacks. The 1 Go RAM capacity can lead to slowdowns when using multiple applications simultaneously, and the 4 Go internal memory is insufficient for users with high storage needs. Additionally, the 2 MP front camera may not satisfy those looking to take quality selfies or make clear video calls. Finally, the price-to-quality ratio is acceptable, but the limitations in terms of performance and storage may disappoint some users. In summary, the Hisense U98 is a functional smartphone that will meet basic needs, but it may not be suitable for users seeking higher performance or an enhanced multimedia experience.
