Comparisons Featuring HP Pre 3 CDMA
Short Review
- The HP Pre 3 CDMA features a compact design with dimensions of 111 x 64 x 16 mm and a weight of 156g, making it portable yet slightly thicker than many modern smartphones.
- Its 3.58-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 261 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8655 Snapdragon S2 chipset with a 1.4 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 205 GPU, supported by 8GB of storage and 512MB of RAM, allowing for basic multitasking.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 1230mAh battery provides limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on HP webOS 2.2, the software offers a unique user experience but may lack the app ecosystem of competitors.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack, catering to basic connectivity needs.
- Overall, the HP Pre 3 CDMA is a functional device with modest specifications, suitable for users seeking simplicity.
- However, it may not meet the demands of those requiring advanced features or performance.
