Short Review
- The i-mate i features a compact design with dimensions of 106 x 52.5 x 15.6 mm and a weight of 110 grams, making it portable but somewhat thick.
- Its 2.4-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displays 65K colors at a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 167 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a Samsung SC3 2442X CPU clocked at 300MHz, supported by 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM, suitable for the software it runs.
- The rear camera offers 2 MP resolution without optical image stabilization, capable of video recording but lacks a front-facing camera.
- The 1000 mAh battery provides limited capacity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Operating on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC, the software experience is dated but functional for basic applications.
- Connectivity options are limited, featuring Bluetooth 1.2 and a miniUSB 1.1 port, with no support for WiFi or NFC.
- The device does not have stereo speakers or a headphone jack, which may limit audio options.
- The overall build quality is basic, with a silver finish but no water resistance.
- Overall, the i-mate i is a straightforward device that meets minimal smartphone needs from its era.
