Comparisons Featuring HP iPAQ Glisten
Short Review
- The HP iPAQ Glisten features a compact design with dimensions of 112.8 x 62.8 x 13.4 mm and a weight of 132g, making it portable.
- Its 2.5-inch AMOLED resistive touchscreen offers a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, providing decent visibility but limited color depth with 256K colors.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset with a 528 MHz ARM 11 CPU and Adreno 130 GPU, supported by 256MB RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The camera is a basic 3.15 MP unit with autofocus, capable of video recording but lacks optical image stabilization.
- Battery specifications are not provided, indicating a potential limitation in longevity.
- The device runs on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, which may feel outdated compared to modern operating systems.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers is noted, although it does include a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the HP iPAQ Glisten is a functional device with basic features, suitable for users with minimal demands.
- Its build quality and software may appeal to those familiar with older mobile platforms.
