Comparisons Featuring Eten M500
Short Review
- The Eten M500 features a compact design with dimensions of 111.7 x 60.7 x 22 mm and a weight of 170 grams, making it relatively portable.
- Its 2.8-inch TFT resistive touchscreen supports 65K colors with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 143 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Samsung S3C 2440 processor clocked at 400 MHz, paired with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of ROM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 1.3 MP rear camera, capable of video recording, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1440 mAh, providing basic longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 SE PocketPC, the software experience is dated and may not support modern applications.
- Connectivity options are limited, with no WiFi, 5G, or NFC, and Bluetooth is restricted to version 1.1.
- The device lacks stereo speakers and a headphone jack, which may hinder audio experiences.
- Overall, the Eten M500 is a basic device with essential features, suitable for users with minimal demands.
- Special features are absent, reflecting its early 2000s design and functionality.
