Comparisons Featuring Motorola A3100

Short Review

  • The Motorola A3100 features a compact design with dimensions of 110 x 59.7 x 13.7 mm and a weight of 119g, making it portable and easy to handle.
  • Its 2.8-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displays 65K colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing a basic visual experience with a pixel density of approximately 143 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7201A chipset, a 528 MHz ARM 11 CPU, and 256MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera offers a 3.15 MP resolution with autofocus, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera for selfies.
  • Battery capacity stands at 1170 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
  • The device runs on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, which may feel outdated compared to modern operating systems.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The A3100 is equipped with a miniUSB port for charging and data transfer, and it includes a standard headphone jack.
  • Overall, the phone is a basic device suitable for essential tasks, but it lacks advanced features found in contemporary smartphones.
