Comparisons Featuring HTC P6500
Short Review
- The HTC P6500, released in 2008, features a robust design with dimensions of 137.4 x 72.9 x 20.5 mm and a weight of 220g, giving it a solid feel in hand.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displays 65K colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 114 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset, a 400 MHz ARM 11 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which supports basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera offers a 3 MP resolution with autofocus, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- Battery capacity stands at 1500 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging capabilities.
- The device runs on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional, providing a unique software experience for its time.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of a headphone jack and stereo speakers may limit audio options.
- The phone is available in a silver color, contributing to its understated aesthetic.
- Overall, the HTC P6500 is a basic device with functional features suitable for its era.
