Comparisons Featuring Gigabyte GSmart MS820
Short Review
- The Gigabyte GSmart MS820 features a compact design with dimensions of 116 x 59 x 14.1 mm and a weight of 105g, making it portable but slightly bulky.
- Its 2.8-inch TFT resistive touchscreen offers a resolution of 480 x 640 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 286 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Marvell PXA270 CPU clocked at 520MHz, supported by 128MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of capturing basic images, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1300mAh, which is modest and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, the software experience may feel outdated compared to modern smartphones.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not have stereo speakers or a headphone jack, which may limit audio options.
- Overall, the GSmart MS820 is a basic smartphone with essential features but limited performance and modern capabilities.
- Its design and build quality are adequate for its time, but it may not meet the demands of current users.
