Comparisons Featuring Motorola FLIPSIDE MB508

Short Review

  • The Motorola FLIPSIDE MB508 features a compact design with dimensions of 109.5 x 57.5 x 15 mm and a weight of 145g, making it portable yet sturdy.
  • 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.
  • Powered by a TI OMAP 3410 chipset with a 720 MHz Cortex-A8 CPU and 512MB of RAM, the performance is suitable for light applications but may struggle with more demanding tasks.

  • Battery capacity is 1170 mAh, providing basic longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
  • The device runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo), which is outdated compared to modern standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
  • The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality, although it does include a headphone jack.
