Design and Build

The Archos 55b Cobalt boasts a minimalistic design with dimensions that make it fairly large and somewhat hefty at 188 grams. The device has a dual SIM capability, allowing the insertion of two Mini SIM cards that operate on a dual stand-by mode. Its design includes a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, a feature that adds a touch of security and convenience uncommon in many budget phones of its time. It sports a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display, offering a screen-to-body ratio of approximately 68.1%, with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. This results in a pixel density of about 267 ppi, ensuring a decent viewing experience with modest sharpness and color reproduction.
