Comparisons Featuring Benefon iO
Short Review
- The Benefon iO, released in 1999, features a compact design with dimensions of 122 x 56 x 24 mm and a weight of 167 grams, making it portable but somewhat bulky by modern standards.
- Its monochrome graphic display is limited to 6 lines with a low resolution and a pixel density of 6 PPI, which restricts visual clarity and detail.
- Performance-wise, the device lacks a dedicated chipset, CPU, GPU, and RAM, indicating minimal processing capabilities.
- The camera system is non-existent, with both rear and selfie cameras rated at 0 MP, making it unsuitable for photography.
- The battery capacity is 700 mAh, providing basic power without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- The software is unspecified, and the absence of stereo speakers and a headphone jack limits audio options.
- Connectivity features are minimal, with no support for 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC.
- The build quality is not detailed, but it comes in six color options.
- Overall, the Benefon iO is a basic mobile phone focused on essential communication rather than advanced features.
- Its design and functionality reflect the technology of its time, prioritizing simplicity over modern smartphone capabilities.
