Short Review
- The HTC S740 features a compact design with dimensions of 116.3 x 43.4 x 16.3 mm and a weight of 140g, making it portable but somewhat thick.
- Its 2.4-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing basic visual clarity with 65K colors, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7225 Snapdragon S1 chipset with a 528 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 256MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 3.2 MP, capable of capturing images and video, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1050mAh, which supports standard usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard, the software experience is limited by modern standards and lacks many contemporary features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device does not include stereo speakers or a headphone jack, which may limit audio options.
- Overall, the HTC S740 serves as a basic communication device with minimal multimedia capabilities.
- Its design and performance reflect the technology available at the time of its 2008 release.
