Comparisons Featuring O2 XDA Zinc
Short Review
- The O2 XDA Zinc features a compact design with dimensions of 109 x 58 x 22.6 mm and a weight of 175g, making it portable yet slightly bulky.
- Its 2.8-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displays 65K colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing a modest visual experience with a pixel density of approximately 143 ppi.
- Performance is driven by an Intel XScale PXA 270 CPU clocked at 520 MHz, supported by 64MB of RAM and 128MB of ROM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera offers a 2 MP resolution, capable of video recording but lacks optical image stabilization, while there is no front-facing camera.
- A 1300mAh battery powers the device, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- The software runs on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC, which may feel outdated compared to modern operating systems.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device has a miniUSB port for charging and data transfer, though it lacks a headphone jack and stereo speakers.
- Overall, the O2 XDA Zinc presents basic functionality with limited modern features, reflecting its 2006 release.
- Its build quality and design cater to users seeking a straightforward mobile experience.
