Comparisons Featuring BenQ P30

Short Review

  • The BenQ P30 features a compact design with dimensions of 118 x 52 x 17 mm and a weight of 150 grams, making it portable but somewhat bulky by modern standards.
  • Its 2.6-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displays 256K colors at a resolution of 208 x 320 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 147 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a TI OMAP V1030 chipset with a 144 MHz CPU, though it lacks RAM and storage, limiting multitasking capabilities.
  • The camera is basic, offering a VGA rear sensor without optical image stabilization or a front-facing camera.
  • Battery specifications are not provided, indicating a lack of modern features like fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • The device runs on Symbian 7.0 with a UIQ v2.1 interface, which may feel outdated compared to current operating systems.
  • Connectivity options are limited to Bluetooth 1.1, with no support for WiFi or 5G.
  • The absence of a headphone jack and stereo speakers may affect audio experiences.
  • Overall, the BenQ P30's features reflect its early 2000s design, prioritizing basic functionality over advanced capabilities.
  • Special features are minimal, aligning with the phone's simple specifications.
