Comparisons Featuring Motorola StarTAC 130
Short Review
- The Motorola StarTAC 130, released in 1998, features a compact design with dimensions of 94 x 55 x 19 mm and a weight of 95 grams, making it highly portable.
- Its monochrome graphic display offers a resolution of 4 x 15 characters with a low pixel density of 4 PPI, suitable for basic text.
- Performance is minimal, as it lacks a dedicated chipset, CPU, GPU, and RAM, providing only essential functions.
- The device does not include a camera, limiting its multimedia capabilities.
- The battery capacity is 500 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- The software is unspecified, and the phone lacks stereo speakers and a headphone jack.
- Connectivity options are very limited, with no support for 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC.
- The build quality is standard for the era, but details on materials and water resistance are not provided.
- Overall, the StarTAC 130 is a basic mobile phone focused on voice communication rather than advanced features.
