A mid-ranged handset coming from BenQ

BenQ has unveiled a new mobile phone, although it will fail to impress anyone when it comes to looks or performances. Some people might like the E52 handset despite these features for the simple reason that it comes for a fairly cheap price.

BenQ E52 looks like older models coming from BenQ-Siemens when it comes to design. Actually, it might as well be only an old phone disguised under a new name, as its capabilities also fail to make it stand out. Still, this handset has high chances of being quite well received by a certain market share that rather looks for an affordable device than high performances.

One thing which might turn out to be appealing about this handset is that it comes in a slim and compact shape, with only 14.9 mm in thickness. This has high chances of catching the interest of those many slim phone maniacs out there who have little other demands for their mobile phone.

BenQ E52 comes equipped with several features which might have been considered evolved a few years ago, but now manage only to place it in the mid-ranged handset line. The 1.3 megapixel camera will provide captures of a quality under the 2 megapixel average which can be currently found in most mobile phones.

Moreover, BenQ E52 comes with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. Still, we are talking about version 1.2 and 1.1 of these features, which have been long surpassed. As a result, the user of this handset will benefit from low data transfer speeds.

One thing that might save the appearances of this handset is the fact that it comes with 20 MB of internal memory. Not only that, but it also has a microSD card slot which will provide a considerable amount of extremely useful data storage space.

BenQ E52 comes for an estimate price of 130 pounds or even less, depending on the network's offers. The handset is actually worth this price, which might make it the favorite cellular for many practical people.
