Features, Performance, and Reviews for the DM016SH SoftBank 32GB

DM016SH SoftBank 32GB 's size

The "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" is 70.0mm wide, 132.0mm tall, and 9.9mm thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB", it weighs about 147.0g. The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.

Both the size and weight of the "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" make it easy to hold in your hand and are unlikely to cause any trouble when you use it normally.

DM016SH SoftBank 32GB 's screen

The "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" has a 5.2inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.

The screen of the "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" is extremely clear, and it's able to display everything from images to videos and even video game graphics in perfect clarity.

The CPU performance of DM016SH SoftBank 32GB

The processing power of the "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" is, at 2.3GHz×4(4.0-cores), relatively high. Its features would position it somewhere between high and mid-level among currently available smartphones, but it will be rather stress-free in terms of using most apps. Most 3D games that don't burn up too much memory should be playable to a satisfying degree for the most part. 2D games should be no problem at all.

The "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" has 2.0GB of RAM, so it has plenty of space. In rare cases this amount of RAM might not be sufficient, but there shouldn't be too much stress on the machine with this amount.

The overall operational speed of the "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" rates as a mid-range smartphone. While you will probably not experience much sluggishness or lag with normal use, we recommend a phone at least one tier higher if you want to enjoy games or videos.

DM016SH SoftBank 32GB 's storage capacity

The "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" has 32.0GB of data storage, which is plenty for taking photos, but for people who frequently shoot videos or have lots of games installed, this may not feel like enough space.

Since the "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" is compatible with SD cards, you'll be able to easily expand your storage capacity; you won't need to worry about how much internal space it has.

The camera function of DM016SH SoftBank 32GB

The "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" has a 16.3MP main camera that lets you take photos and videos in a quite high resolution. You may be a little dissatisfied with it in some situations, for example when you want to capture scenery in very high resolution or print out beautiful photos, but this should not be an issue you run into very often.

The "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" comes equipped with a 1.2MP pixel front-facing camera, which is very low resolution. If you aren't particular about your videos or photos, it might be fine, but otherwise, we recommend a smartphone at least one tier higher.

The battery performance of DM016SH SoftBank 32GB

The "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB"'s battery capacity is 2600.0mAh, a standard level for these types of phones. Compared to other smartphones, the "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" has a standard battery life. It should not be a problem for normal use. However, if you spend a lot of time online or playing games, you may find the battery life a bit dissatisfying.

Overall assessment of DM016SH SoftBank 32GB

The "DM016SH SoftBank 32GB" is a relatively high-performance smartphone. If you plan to use it as your main smartphone, you may find it slightly inconvenient, but within tolerable limits.
