Short Review

  • The MWg Zinc II features a compact design with dimensions of 109.5 x 59 x 18 mm and a weight of 185 grams, making it portable but somewhat bulky.
  • Its 2.8-inch TFT resistive touchscreen offers a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 143 ppi, although the color depth is limited to 256K colors.
  • Performance is powered by a Samsung 2442 CPU running at 500 MHz, paired with 64MB of RAM and 256MB of ROM, which may struggle with multitasking.
  • The rear camera is 2 MP, capable of video recording, but lacks advanced features like optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The 1530 mAh battery provides basic longevity without fast or wireless charging capabilities.
  • Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, the software experience may feel dated compared to modern standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
  • The device does not include stereo speakers or a headphone jack, limiting audio options.
  • Overall, the MWg Zinc II is a basic smartphone with limited features, suitable for essential tasks.
  • Its build quality and design reflect the era of its release in 2008.
