Short Review
- The Samsung E898 features a compact design with dimensions of 99.5 x 50 x 14.6 mm and a lightweight build at 82g, making it portable.
- Its TFT resistive touchscreen displays 256K colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels with a pixel density of 240 PPI, providing basic visual clarity.
- Performance is limited with 80MB of internal storage and 80GB of RAM, which is unusual for a mobile device.
- The rear camera is 1.3 MP, capable of video recording but lacks optical image stabilization, while there is no front-facing camera.
- Battery specifications are unspecified, and there is no support for wireless charging.
- The device runs on an unspecified operating system and lacks modern features like WiFi and 5G connectivity, relying instead on Bluetooth 2.0 for wireless connections.
- The proprietary USB port is the only option for wired connections.
- The absence of stereo speakers and a headphone jack limits audio output options.
- The E898 is available in a silver color, emphasizing a simple aesthetic.
- Overall, the phone reflects the basic functionality typical of devices released in 2006.
