Short Review

  • The Motorola C980 features a compact design with dimensions of 114 x 53 x 24.5 mm and a weight of 139g, making it portable but somewhat bulky by modern standards.
  • Its 1.9-inch TFT display supports 65K colors with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, offering a pixel density of approximately 148 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is modest with 4.4GB of RAM and limited storage of 4.4MB, which may restrict multitasking and app usage.
  • The camera is basic, featuring a VGA rear camera with no optical image stabilization and no front-facing camera, suitable for simple snapshots.
  • The battery capacity is 820mAh, providing essential power without fast or wireless charging options.
  • The device does not support modern connectivity features such as 5G, WiFi, or Bluetooth, relying instead on a proprietary USB connection.
  • Software specifications are not detailed, indicating a potentially limited operating system experience.
  • The absence of stereo speakers and a headphone jack may limit audio options.
