Comparisons Featuring Gigabyte GSmart MW998
Short Review
- The Gigabyte GSmart MW998 features a compact design with dimensions of 110.5 x 55.5 x 18.5 mm and a weight of 140g, making it portable but somewhat bulky.
- Its 2.6-inch TFT resistive touchscreen offers a resolution of 480 x 640 pixels, delivering a pixel density of approximately 308 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Marvell PXA270 CPU clocked at 520MHz, paired with 64MB of RAM and 256MB of ROM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 2 MP with autofocus, capable of video recording, but there is no front-facing camera for selfies.
- The battery capacity stands at 1300mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional, the software experience may feel dated 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 feature stereo speakers or a headphone jack, which may affect audio experience.
- Overall, the GSmart MW998 is a basic smartphone with limited features and performance, suitable for essential tasks.
- Its design and build quality reflect its 2008 release, making it less competitive in today's market.
