Comparisons Featuring Samsung i617 BlackJack II

Short Review

  • The Samsung i617 BlackJack II features a compact design with dimensions of 114 x 61 x 13 mm and a weight of 116g, making it portable and easy to handle.
  • Its 2.4-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, providing decent clarity with 65K colors, though it lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is powered by a 260 MHz Dual ARM 9 CPU and 128MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is a 2 MP unit capable of video recording, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The 1700 mAh battery provides reasonable longevity, though it does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0, the software experience is dated and may not meet modern expectations.
  • Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.0, but it lacks WiFi and NFC capabilities.
  • The device does not feature stereo speakers or a headphone jack, which may limit audio options.
  • Overall, the BlackJack II is a functional device for basic communication needs, but its specifications reflect its 2007 release.
  • Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on essential smartphone functions.
