Network Capabilities

The Verykool S732 is equipped with network technology that supports both GSM and HSPA, offering users the ability to stay connected in multiple regions thanks to its 2G bands that cover GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 for both SIM1 and SIM 2 (optional). Additionally, the 3G capability is afforded by HSDPA 850 / 1900 bands, delivering a reasonable speed of up to 7.2/0.384 Mbps. This combination allows for competent performance when connecting to mobile networks within its supported bands.

Launch and Discontinuation

Announced and released in 2013, the Verykool S732 entered a competitive mobile market with a focus on affordability and essential features. However, as of now, the device has been discontinued, which means that while it might no longer be available through standard retail channels, it remains a part of the history of smartphone development in the early 2010s.

Body and Design

On the design front, the Verykool S732 features dimensions of 117.5 x 62.5 x 12.8 mm, making it compact and easy to handle. It weighs in at 120 grams, contributing to its portability. The phone supports both Single SIM and Dual SIM configurations (dual stand-by), adding a degree of versatility for users managing multiple lines. The physical design incorporates a practical yet basic aesthetic, focused more on functionality than form factor.

Display Specifications

The device sports a 3.5-inch TFT display, which occupies approximately 49.7% of the screen-to-body ratio. The resolution sits at 320 x 480 pixels with a 3:2 ratio, achieving a pixel density of around 165 ppi. While not suitable by today’s high-definition standards, the display's characteristics were sufficient for general use cases at the time of the phone’s release.

Platform and Performance

Running on Android 2.3.7 (Gingerbread), the Verykool S732 delivers basic functionality powered by an 832 MHz CPU. Given the software and hardware limitations, the device is best suited for users who require a smartphone for core functionalities such as calling, texting, and low-demand applications. The use of the Gingerbread operating system, while outdated, showcases the evolution of Android over the subsequent years.

Memory and Storage

The smartphone features a microSDHC card slot, offering users an option to expand storage beyond the internal capabilities. This feature allows for greater flexibility in managing files, photos, and applications despite potential limitations in internal memory. The expansion capability also reflects the trend during the early 2010s for providing extended storage solutions through external memory cards.

Camera Capabilities

The primary camera on the Verykool S732 is a 2 MP lens, providing users with basic image capturing abilities. Video recording is supported, allowing for video capture at a modest quality. However, the phone does not include a selfie camera, which limits its utility for users who prefer taking front-facing photos or video calls.

Audio and Sound

The Verykool S732 is outfitted with a loudspeaker and a 3.5mm audio jack, ensuring compatibility with standard audio devices and headphones. The integration of an FM radio offers additional entertainment options without the need for data usage. These features cater to users who appreciate traditional audio functionalities alongside their smartphone usage.

Connectivity Options

The connectivity suite includes Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot capability, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP for wireless audio streaming, and microUSB 2.0 for data transfer and charging. The absence of NFC and positioning functionalities is notable, but the presence of FM radio offers some consolation for entertainment without internet dependency.

Sensors and Features

The only sensor integrated into this device is the accelerometer, which serves simple functions such as screen rotation and basic motion detection. The straightforward sensor setup reflects the device's focus on affordability and essential smartphone operations rather than advanced functionalities.

Battery Life

Powered by a removable Li-Ion 1450 mAh battery, the Verykool S732 delivers a standby time of up to 240 hours and a talk time of up to 6 hours. This battery performance aligns with the device’s role as an entry-level smartphone, where essential functions are prioritized over more power-hungry applications.

Design and Color

With a classic black color, the Verykool S732 retains a neutral and versatile aesthetic, suitable for a broad range of users. This straightforward color choice complements its practical design, aligning with the needs of a user base that values function over fashion.
