Short Review
- The Motorola BACKFLIP features a unique design with a flip mechanism that allows the screen to rotate, enhancing usability.
- Its 3.1-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 186 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7201A chipset with a 528 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 512MB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
- The 5 MP rear camera includes autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization and produces video at CIF resolution.
- Battery life is supported by a 1400 mAh capacity, but it does not feature fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 1.5, with an upgrade path to 2.1, the software experience is basic and lacks modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device weighs 133 grams and measures 108 x 53 x 15.3 mm, making it relatively compact.
- It includes stereo speakers and a headphone jack, enhancing audio functionality.
- Overall, the BACKFLIP's design and features cater to basic smartphone needs but fall short in performance and display quality compared to contemporary devices.
