Comparisons Featuring HTC Tattoo
Short Review
- The HTC Tattoo features a compact design with dimensions of 106 x 55.2 x 14 mm and a weight of 113g, making it portable.
- Its 2.8-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displays 65K colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing basic visual quality.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7225 Snapdragon S1 chipset and a 528 MHz ARM 11 CPU, paired with 256MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The camera has a 3.15 MP rear sensor but lacks optical image stabilization and video capabilities are limited to CIF at 15fps.
- The 1100 mAh battery offers standard longevity without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 1.6 with Sense UI, the software experience is dated but functional for simple tasks.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in multiple colors, including Brown, White, and Graphite.
- The absence of a GPU limits graphics performance, and the lack of stereo speakers may affect audio quality.
- Overall, the HTC Tattoo is a basic smartphone suited for minimalistic use.
