Comparisons Featuring Qtek 8500
Short Review
- The Qtek 8500 features a compact design with dimensions of 98.5 x 51.4 x 15.8 mm and a weight of 99 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 2.2-inch TFT display supports 65K colors with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 182 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a TI OMAP 850 chipset and a 200 MHz ARM926EJ-S CPU, paired with 64MB of RAM and 64MB of ROM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The camera is basic, offering a 1.3 MP rear sensor without optical image stabilization and no front-facing camera.
- Battery life is supported by a 750 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The device runs on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, which may feel outdated compared to modern operating systems.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth 1.2, but it does not support WiFi, NFC, or 5G.
- The build quality is solid with a stylish black finish, though it lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the Qtek 8500 is a straightforward device with essential features but limited performance and connectivity options.
- It is suitable for basic tasks but may not meet the demands of more advanced users.
