Energizer Ultimate U652S

The Energizer Ultimate U652S may suit someone looking for a straightforward Android phone who values low weight. At 190 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time. Its 6.51-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px and a density of 270 ppi, a typical figure; its screen-to-body ratio, however, is worse than most. At 9.1 mm thick, it is also thicker than most phones launched around the same time.

The clearest limitations are in the hardware. Its 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage are among the lowest figures of its time, although storage is expandable. Performance and hardware are among the weakest of phones launched around the same time. The 4,000 mAh battery capacity is also among the weakest. Connectivity is among the weakest as well, with Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, USB Type-C, and Dual Nano-SIM.

The rear camera has an 18 MP resolution, lower than that of most phones of its time, and records video at 1080p at 30 fps. The front camera is 13 MP. Android 13 rounds out a basic set of features for anyone prioritizing a relatively light phone. Those who need more memory, a higher-capacity battery, or broader connectivity will face clear compromises. Its weight is a genuine advantage, but its hardware, battery, and connectivity figures place the U652S at the modest end.
