Comparisons Featuring Samsung i505

Short Review

  • The Samsung i505, released in 2004, features a compact design with dimensions of 91 x 54 x 23 mm and a weight of 147 grams.
  • Its TFT resistive touchscreen displays 65K colors at a resolution of 162 x 176 pixels, offering a pixel density of 162 PPI.
  • Performance is driven by a Motorola MX1 CPU clocked at 200 MHz, supported by 32MB of RAM and 32MB of ROM, which is limited by modern standards.
  • The camera is basic, with a VGA rear sensor and no front camera, capable of video recording but lacking advanced features.
  • The battery specifications are not provided, indicating a potential limitation in longevity.
  • Running on Palm OS 5.2.1, the software experience may feel outdated compared to contemporary devices.
  • Connectivity options are minimal, with no support for WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC, and a proprietary USB connection.
  • The absence of stereo speakers and a headphone jack further limits audio capabilities.
  • Overall, the i505 is a simple device with basic functionality, suitable for essential tasks.
  • Its special features are minimal, reflecting the technology of its time.
