Short Review

  • The Motorola SPICE Key XT317 features a compact design with dimensions of 116.5 x 58 x 13.5 mm and a weight of 110g, making it portable.
  • Its 2.8-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing basic visual clarity with a pixel density of approximately 143 ppi.
  • Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227-1 Snapdragon S1 chipset, a 600 MHz ARM 11 CPU, and 512MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with multitasking.
  • The rear camera is 3.15 MP, capable of recording video at 480p@24fps, while the absence of a front camera limits selfie options.
  • The 1420 mAh battery provides moderate longevity, although it lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is dated and may not support newer applications.
  • 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 black and white colors, adding a simple aesthetic appeal.
