Comparisons Featuring Motorola FIRE XT
Short Review
- The Motorola FIRE XT features a compact design with dimensions of 114 x 62 x 12 mm and a lightweight build at 84.3g.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display has a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which may limit clarity in bright conditions.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7227T-1 Snapdragon S1 chipset, an 800 MHz CPU, and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The rear camera offers a 5 MP sensor with autofocus, but lacks optical image stabilization and records video at 480p.
- Battery life is supported by a 1540 mAh capacity, though it does not feature fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread), which is outdated compared to current software standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality, while the presence of a headphone jack is a positive feature.
- Overall, the Motorola FIRE XT is a basic smartphone that meets essential communication needs but lacks modern capabilities.
