Comparisons Featuring Samsung DoubleTime I857
Short Review
- The Samsung DoubleTime I857 features a compact design with dimensions of 113 x 62 x 15 mm and a weight of 148g, making it portable but somewhat bulky.
- Its 3.2-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 180 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7230 chipset with an 800 MHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 205 GPU, paired with 256MB of RAM, which limits multitasking capabilities.
- The camera is modest, with a 3.15 MP rear sensor that supports autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization, and video recording is limited to 320p.
- Battery life is supported by a 1200 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo), which is outdated and restricts access to newer applications and features.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth 3.0, but it lacks WiFi and 5G support, limiting internet access.
- The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack are notable, given the era of its release.
- Overall, the DoubleTime I857 is a basic smartphone with limited features, suitable for essential communication tasks.
- Its design and build quality reflect its 2011 origins, making it less competitive by modern standards.
