Comparisons Featuring Motorola FlipOut
Short Review
- The Motorola FlipOut features a compact and unique square design, measuring 67 x 67 x 17 mm and weighing 120 grams, making it portable.
- Its 2.8-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels with a pixel density of approximately 143 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a 600 MHz Cortex-A8 CPU and a TI OMAP 3410 chipset, paired with 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with demanding applications.
- The camera is a 3.15 MP rear unit, capable of recording video at CIF resolution, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 1130 mAh battery provides limited longevity and does not support fast charging or wireless options.
- Running on Android 2.1 (Eclair), the software experience is dated, lacking modern features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in multiple colors, adding a touch of personalization.
- Overall, the FlipOut is a basic phone with a distinctive design, but it falls short in performance and camera capabilities.
- Its unique form factor may appeal to users looking for something different in a mobile device.
