Comparisons Featuring Motorola Q8
Short Review
- The Motorola Q8 features a compact design with dimensions of 116 x 64 x 11.5 mm and a weight of 115g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 2.4-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, providing decent clarity with 65k colors, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a 32-bit Intel XScale PXA270 CPU clocked at 312MHz, paired with 40MB of storage and 40MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The camera is basic, with a 1.3 MP rear sensor and no front camera, suitable for simple photography but lacking advanced features.
- Battery life is supported by a 1170mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard Edition, the software experience may feel dated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options are limited, featuring Bluetooth 1.2 and a miniUSB 1.1 port, with no WiFi or NFC capabilities.
- The device includes stereo speakers, enhancing audio playback, but lacks a headphone jack.
- Available in silver and black, the Q8 presents a straightforward aesthetic without water resistance.
- Overall, the Motorola Q8 is a basic phone with essential features, suitable for users seeking simplicity.
