Design and Display
The Maxwest Astro 3.5 is designed with functionality in mind rather than flair. It boasts dimensions of 118.6 x 62 x 11 mm and a relatively light weight of 125 grams, making it a compact device that's easy to handle. The dual-SIM capability is useful for those who frequently switch between networks or travel internationally. The 3.5-inch screen with a 320 x 480 pixel resolution, although modest, was typical for budget phones in its time and allows for basic navigation and media consumption. However, the screen's size provides only a 49.6% screen-to-body ratio, combined with a pixel density of approximately 165 PPI, resulting in a display that is neither sharp nor particularly vivid, but adequate for simple tasks.
