Model: Soon after the announcement of the 50 Helium Plus and the 55 Helium Plus, Archos officially unveils the birth of a new member, namely the Archos 50d Helium. This new phone is paired with Android 5.1 Lollipop and a 5-inch HD IPS display at a clear resolution of 1280 x 720. It can be considered a clone of the 50 Helium Plus. The main difference is its 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad core processor. In addition, it offers the convenience of dual SIM support, 1 GB of RAM and a Micro SD port to supplement the 8 GB of internal storage with an additional 64 GB. Connectivity wise, it unsurprisingly supports the fast 4G LTE network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, and GPS.

Other feature includes a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front shooter, which produce vivid and beautiful photos. The worst downside is perhaps its non-detachable 2100 mAh battery. There are not only the decent specification and superior performance, but also it comes with a unique offer – "two soft, stone-finished swappable rear panels in either Storm Blue or Stone Grey color tones", which perfectly suits every fashion stylist's taste. Overall, it is an affordable release with impressive power and budget-friendly price.

Qualcomm Adreno 306: Integrated mid-range graphics card in the Snapdragon 410 SoCs that supports OpenGL ES 3.0 and features unified shaders.

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

This display is tiny. You will probably see very little on the screen and be able to use mini-resolutions.

Archos: The French manufacturer Archos S.A. was founded in 1988. While they initially produced products such as MP3 players, they have started producing laptops, smartphones, and tablets in 2009.

 

The world market shares are small, but there are many reviews on Archos smartphones and tablets. While the ratings were below average in the early years, they have become better by 2016.


70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
