Comparisons Featuring Mitac MIO A501
Short Review
- The Mitac MIO A501 features a compact design with dimensions of 95.7 x 59.6 x 20.7 mm and a weight of 135g, making it portable but somewhat bulky.
- Its 2.7-inch TFT resistive touchscreen offers a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing a basic visual experience with 256K colors and a pixel density of approximately 148 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a TI OMAP 850 chipset and a 200 MHz ARM926EJ-S CPU, paired with 256MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is a 2 MP unit, capable of video recording but lacking advanced features like optical image stabilization.
- Battery life is supported by a 1050 mAh capacity, though it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- The device runs on Windows Mobile 5 AKU3.3, which may feel outdated compared to modern operating systems.
- Connectivity options are limited, featuring Bluetooth 2.0 but lacking WiFi and 5G support.
- The absence of stereo speakers and a headphone jack may restrict audio experiences.
- Overall, the MIO A501 is a basic device with essential features suitable for minimal use.
- Its design and build quality reflect the standards of its 2007 release.
