Short Review

  • The Ericsson GS 18 features a compact design with dimensions of 147 x 60 x 24 mm and a weight of 215 grams, making it relatively portable for its time.
  • Its alphanumeric display is quite basic, with a resolution of 4 x 12 characters and a pixel density of 4 PPI, lacking modern enhancements like HDR.
  • Performance-wise, the device is limited, with no RAM or storage specifications provided, indicating minimal capabilities.
  • The camera system is non-existent, offering no rear or selfie cameras, which reflects the era's focus on basic communication rather than photography.
  • The battery capacity is 1200 mAh, but it lacks fast charging and wireless charging options.
  • The software specifications are not detailed, suggesting a very simple operating system without advanced features.
  • Connectivity options are also limited, as it does not support 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers and a headphone jack further emphasizes its basic functionality.
  • Overall, the Ericsson GS 18 is a straightforward mobile phone designed primarily for voice communication.
  • Its features align with the technology available in 1996, prioritizing durability and simplicity over modern smartphone capabilities.
