Comparisons Featuring Motorola W396
Short Review
- The Motorola W396 features a compact design with dimensions of 95 x 45 x 17 mm and a weight of 94 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 1.8-inch TFT display supports 65K colors with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, providing basic visual clarity but lacking advanced features like HDR.
- Performance is minimal, as the device does not include a dedicated chipset, CPU, or RAM, limiting its capabilities to basic functions.
- The camera is a VGA rear unit with no video recording or selfie capabilities, which may not meet the expectations of users seeking photography features.
- The 940 mAh battery offers basic longevity but lacks fast charging or wireless options.
- The software is unspecified, and the device does not support modern connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
- The build quality is solid, with a choice of lustrous silver or dark titanium gray colors, though no water resistance is mentioned.
- The absence of a headphone jack and stereo speakers may limit audio options for users.
- Overall, the Motorola W396 is a straightforward device focused on essential features without advanced technology.
