Comparisons Featuring Samsung i600

Short Review

  • The Samsung i600 features a compact design with dimensions of 113 x 59 x 11.8 mm and a weight of 105 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
  • Its 2.3-inch TFT display supports 65K colors with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, providing decent visuals for its time, though lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a TI OMAP 1710 chipset with a 200 MHz ARM926EJ-S CPU and 64MB RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but limited for more demanding applications.
  • The camera is modest, offering a 1.3 MP rear sensor capable of recording video at 320p, while there is no front-facing camera.
  • The 1200 mAh battery provides basic longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, the software experience is dated, lacking modern app support.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device is devoid of stereo speakers and a headphone jack, which may limit audio options.
  • Overall, the Samsung i600 is a functional device with basic features suitable for users seeking simplicity.
  • However, its specifications reflect the technology of 2006, making it less competitive by today's standards.
