Short Review
- The Motorola RIZR Z8 features a compact design with dimensions of 109 x 50 x 15 mm and a weight of 112 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 2.2-inch TFT display supports 16 million colors with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, delivering decent visuals for its time.
- Performance is driven by a TI OMAP 2420 chipset, a 300 MHz ARM 1136 CPU, and a PowerVR MBX GPU, which collectively provide basic functionality for everyday tasks.
- The camera is limited to a 2 MP rear sensor without optical image stabilization, capable of recording video at 320p, while there is no front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1030 mAh, offering modest longevity without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Symbian 9.2 with the UIQ 3.1 interface, the software experience is straightforward but lacks modern app support.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.0 and miniUSB 2.0, but it does not support WiFi or 5G.
- The device is available in black and lacks water resistance features.
- Overall, the RIZR Z8 combines a unique design with basic specifications suitable for casual use.
- Special features include its slider mechanism, which adds a distinctive element to its build.
