Comparisons Featuring HTC Magic
Short Review
- The HTC Magic features a compact design with dimensions of 113 x 55 x 13.7 mm and a weight of 118.5g, available in white and black.
- Its 3.2-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 180 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7200A chipset with a 528 MHz ARM 11 CPU and Adreno 130 GPU, supported by 288MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP with autofocus, but video recording is limited to 320p at 15fps, and there is no front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1340mAh, providing basic longevity without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 1.6, the software experience is dated, lacking modern features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of a headphone jack and stereo speakers limits audio options.
- Overall, the HTC Magic is a basic smartphone with limited performance and features, reflecting its 2009 release.
