Orange rust

The Orange phone company has a wide variety of smartphones on the market; Orange Nura and Orange Rono are an example of the most recent terminals of this operator. But, on this occasion, two new additions are added to the company's mobile catalog: the Orange Roya and the Orange Fova. The Orange Roya is presented as a low-mid-range smartphone that can be purchased through a single payment of 130 euros, and among its features we find a 4.5-inch screen, a quad- core processorand the Android operating system in its version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat.

The Orange Roya can now be purchased in Spain through Orange, and this time we are going to learn more about all its technical specifications in this analysis of the Orange Roya.

Display and layout

The Orange Roya comes with a touchscreen TFT of 4.5 inches reaching a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. Taking into account the size and resolution of this touch panel, the on-screen pixel density is set at 218 ppi. Taking into account the current trend of the mobile phone market, it could be said that the Orange Roya screen is somewhat smaller than usual, since today we are used to screens of at least five inches.

In fact, the Orange Roya's own measurements show us that we are talking about a rather compact smartphone. This terminal reaches a size of 132.5 x 65.4 x 10 mm and weighing 147 grams. To give us an idea of the size of this smartphone is enough that we compare with the Orange Nura, which incorporate a screen of 5.5 inches is presented with a size of 150 x 76 x 8.5 mm and weighing 165 grams.

The design of the Orange Roya corresponds to a simple smartphone, with plastic finishes and rounded edges. On the front of the terminal we can see that the three buttons of the Android operating system ( Back , Start and Menu ) are tactile and are incorporated under the screen. On the back of the Orange Roya we can see a plastic casing in which the main camera - along with its respective LED Flash - appears incorporated in the central-upper part of the casing. The Orange Roya is available in two different housing colors: whiteand black.

Camera and multimedia

The fact that a smartphone incorporates two cameras has become an essential feature today, and the case of the Orange Roya is no exception. The main camera of this mobile houses inside a five megapixel sensor, which means that we are talking about a relatively simple camera that should offer photographs and videos with a mid-range quality. This camera is also accompanied by an LED Flash, so that we can even use it to take pictures and record videos at night.

The secondary camera of the Orange Roya is much simpler compared to the main chamber, as it incorporates a sensor type VGA which achieves a quality of 0.3 megapixels. We are talking about a practically face-to-face camera, and its usefulness does not go beyond some sporadic video call. At the end of the day, a mobile with these characteristics does not seek to stand out for offering high quality selfies .

The video formats supported by Orange Roya are the codecs corresponding to MPEG4, H.264, MPEG2, xvid, divx, vc-1 and vp8, while the audio formats correspond to the codecs AAC, AACplus, AMR, Ehanced, MIDI, MP3 and eAAC.

Power and memory

The Orange Roya is powered by a quad- core processor (exact model to be specified) that operates at a clock speed of 1.2 GHz. The RAM that accompanies this processor has a capacity of 1 GigaByte and, in short, we are talking about a conventional performance within the range of affordable mobile phones on the market. These figures should be enough to fluently move the interface and applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, among many others.

The internal memory of the Orange Roya is set at 8 Gigabytes. It must be taken into account that practically half of this internal storage space is occupied by the files of the operating system installed as standard, so that the real space that the user has at his disposal in the Orange Roya is rather close to the 4 or 5 GigaBytes. The internal memory of this mobile cannot be expanded using an external storage card.

Operating system and applications

Android in its Android version 4.4.2 KitKat is the operating system that incorporates the Orange Roya installed as standard. We are talking about one of the most recent versions of this operating system, so we can be sure that the Orange Roya is and will be compatible for a long time with all the applications available for Android.

And by bringing this operating system installed as standard, the Orange Roya also incorporates a multitude of pre-installed applications, mostly belonging to Google: Google Chrome, Gmail or YouTube are just one example of this, in addition to the terminal's own applications such as the Chamber, the Agenda, the calendar or messages.

Connectivity and autonomy

The Orange Roya incorporates 3G connectivity that allows browsing through the Internet anywhere in the world and, in addition, it also has 4G LTE (ultra-fast Internet) connectivity that allows download speeds of up to 150 Mbps through of the data rate. It is also compatible with WiFi, which means that it can be connected to any router . The rest of the connectivity of this terminal is summarized in the NFC, GPS and Bluetooth, while on the part of the physical connectivity, the outputminijack of 3.5 mm -to connect speakers and earphones output and microUSB 2.0.

The battery integrated in the Orange Roya has a capacity of 2,000 mAh, which Orange reports translates into a range of up to 400 hours in standby and up to 12 hours in conversation.
