* Unit Design

AGM A2 is build of good quality plastic. Black with orange rockers.

On the back from the upper side you can see 8MP camera alongside with LED light for difficult light conditions. Camera is protected by orange frame made of plastic in the colors as the system rockers which gives it outdoor look. There is a small opening for back mic.

DISPLAY

AGM A2 has 4" display

Gorilla Glass 3 Display WVGA 800x480 5 point touch

The display does not have wide viewing angles you can use only looking directly at the screen.

Swipe causes sight distortions of the viewing objects. Generally well defined colors

PERFORMANCE & STORAGE

Overall performance is average considering the Snapdragon 210 2GB RAM & it is self-evident on the AnTuTu Benchmark of 22123 which I do for the fun of benchmark fans but which is not to be relied on very much but which comes around MTK 6580 scores

AdroBench eMMC performance is good and conforms to general scores especially in regard to Reading Speed of above 130 MB/s. For everyday tasks even Write Speed of above 5 MB/s is high enough considering everyday demands.

SENSORS

AGM A2 GPS & COMPASS

Triple GPS, Glonass, BeiDou in A2 is really fast and quit precise. GPS test inside house, subsequent fix 5sec.

Very precise and fast compass

CAMERA

Rear camera 8MP, front camera 2MP sensor

Good focus and natural colors from the rear camera, 2MP front is barely enough for good selfie
