Short Review

  • The Palm Pre 2 features a compact design with dimensions of 100.7 x 59.6 x 16.9 mm and a weight of 145g, making it portable and easy to handle.
  • Its 3.1-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 186 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
  • Performance is powered by a 1.0 GHz CPU and 512MB of RAM, allowing for moderate multitasking and app usage.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of capturing decent images, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera for selfies.
  • Battery capacity is unspecified, but it supports wireless charging, enhancing convenience.
  • The device runs on HP webOS 2.0, providing a unique user interface and experience.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The build quality is solid, though it lacks water resistance and is only available in black.
  • The absence of stereo speakers may limit audio quality, but it does include a headphone jack for wired listening.
  • Overall, the Palm Pre 2 offers a basic smartphone experience with some unique features for its time.
