Short Review

  • The Samsung A817 Solstice II features a compact design with dimensions of 109 x 54.1 x 12 mm and a weight of 95 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
  • Its 3.35-inch TFT resistive touchscreen offers a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, providing basic visual clarity with 65K colors, though it lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is limited with only 256MB of storage and 256MB of RAM, which may hinder multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera is 2 MP, allowing for basic photography, but it does not include optical image stabilization or a front-facing camera.
  • The 1000 mAh battery capacity supports minimal usage without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • The device runs on unspecified software, lacking modern features like stereo speakers or a headphone jack.
  • Connectivity options are limited to Bluetooth 2.1 and microUSB 2.0, with no support for WiFi or 5G.
  • The phone is available in a black color, but it does not offer water resistance.
  • Overall, the Solstice II is a basic phone suitable for essential tasks but lacks advanced features.
