Short Review
- The BlackBerry Pearl 8130 features a compact design with dimensions of 107 x 50 x 14 mm and a weight of 96 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 2.2-inch TFT display supports 65K colors with a resolution of 240 x 260 pixels, providing decent visibility for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a 32-bit Intel XScale PXA272 CPU clocked at 312 MHz, paired with 32MB of RAM and 64MB of ROM, which is adequate for its intended use.
- The rear camera is 2 MP, capable of capturing images and video, but lacks advanced features like optical image stabilization.
- The 900 mAh battery offers limited longevity, with no fast charging or wireless options available.
- Running on BlackBerry OS, the device provides a user-friendly interface tailored for productivity.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.0, but it lacks Wi-Fi and 5G support, limiting internet access.
- The absence of stereo speakers is notable, though it includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Available in black and white, the Pearl 8130 has a simple aesthetic that aligns with its functionality.
- Overall, it is a basic smartphone that caters to users seeking essential communication features.
