Editorial report

Mara Phones X1 technical sheet

The Mara Phones X1 suits anyone looking for a simple, lightweight phone: at 156 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time. The trade-off is limited memory, alongside battery capacity and charging figures below those of most contemporaries.

Its IPS LCD display measures 6.08 inches and has a 720 × 1560 px resolution, with a typical pixel density of 343 ppi. The 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are lower than those of most phones launched around the same time, and its overall performance is worse than most. Storage is expandable, and the phone supports two Nano-SIM cards.

The camera is worse than most phones of its time, and the rear camera has no optical image stabilization. Its 4000 mAh battery and 15 W charging are also below the figures offered by most phones launched around the same time. Connections include NFC, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.0, and Wi-Fi 5, as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack.

With a NeoScore of 3.8, the Mara Phones X1 is a basic option for buyers who prioritize low weight and accept its limitations in memory, camera, and battery.
