Crosscall Core-Z5 Camera test
Source: DxOMark
The Crosscall Core-Z5 smartphone from the French maker of durable phones is primarily intended for users who need devices that are resistant to shocks and drops and that can perform in extreme conditions.The Core-Z5 is also the brand’s first 5G phone, and it finds itself in our premium price segment ($600 to $799). When it comes to image quality from the single rear camera, however, the Core-Z5 still has far to go before it can compete with other phones in this segment. The camera, in general, is capable of capturing basic correct images in standard outdoor conditions, where the device is most likely to be used. In our testing, the Core-X5’s photos and videos turned out better than those taken with the Action-X5, a Crosscall model we evaluated previously, but the Core-Z5’s image quality was severely limited because of the lack of an ultra-wide camera module, which affected the device’s zoom and overall score. The lack of a tele module on the Core-Z5, a feature that is commonly found on devices in this price range, also hindered the device’s camera performance.

Crosscall:

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 506: Integrated graphics card in the Snapdragon 625 SoC and based on the new 500-series architecture with support for Vulkan, OpenGL ES 3.1 + AE (3.2) and UBWC.

Qualcomm Adreno 610: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 665) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. The performance of the GPU is between the Adreno 510 and 512/612 and therefore in the lower mid range. Supports DirectX11_1, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.2.

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

SD 665: Fast mid-range ARM SoC with 8 CPU Kryo 260 cores (four fast 2 GHz Cortex-A73 cores in a cluster and two power saving 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53 cores) and a rather slow Adreno 610 GPU. Manufactured in a 11 nm LPP process.

67.5%: 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.
