Editorial note

The Archos F18 is a compact and lightweight smartphone, weighing only 66 g, making it extremely easy to carry on a daily basis. Its modern black design and small dimensions make it a practical choice for those who prioritize portability. Additionally, the ability to add a MicroSD memory card allows for increased storage capacity, providing some flexibility for users wishing to keep their important data. However, several drawbacks limit the user experience. The 1.8-inch screen with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels is very limited, making content viewing unpleasant. The lack of a touchscreen and modern features such as Wi-Fi and GPS significantly reduces interactivity with the device. Furthermore, the internal memory is very low, which can be restrictive for those who need more storage space. In terms of features, the Archos F18 lacks some essential options, such as multimedia messaging (MMS) and email, which limits its appeal for everyday use. The Bluetooth 2.0+EDR connectivity, while present, is outdated compared to current standards, which could cause compatibility issues with newer devices. In terms of performance, the 800 mAh battery offers reasonable autonomy, with a standby time of 220 hours, which is an advantage for prolonged use. The product also comes with useful documents, such as a user manual and a quick start guide, making it easier to learn. Overall, the Archos F18 offers an acceptable price-to-quality ratio for a basic device. However, its limitations in terms of features and user experience may be a drawback for those seeking a more modern and interactive smartphone.
