Comparisons Featuring Huawei U8230
Short Review
- The Huawei U8230 features a compact design with dimensions of 117 x 63 x 14 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, providing decent clarity with a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7200A chipset, a 528 MHz ARM 11 CPU, and 256MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP with autofocus, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 1500 mAh battery capacity supports basic usage, though it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 2.1 (Eclair), the software experience is dated and lacks modern features.
- 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 white and black colors, adding a touch of personalization.
- The absence of a headphone jack and stereo speakers may limit audio options.
- Overall, the Huawei U8230 is a basic smartphone that reflects its 2009 release with modest specifications.
