Short Review
- The Motorola CHARM features a compact design with dimensions of 98.4 x 67.2 x 11.4 mm and weighs 110g, making it portable.
- Its 2.8-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and supports 256K colors, though the pixel density is relatively low at approximately 143 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a 600 MHz Cortex-A8 CPU and a TI OMAP 3410 chipset, complemented by 512MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP, capable of recording video at 24fps, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1130 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- Running on Android 2.1 (Eclair), the software experience may feel outdated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in Golden Bronze and Cabernet colors, though it lacks water resistance features.
- Overall, the CHARM is a basic smartphone with limited specifications suited for essential tasks.
- Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on basic communication and connectivity.
