Comparisons Featuring Samsung i640
Short Review
- The Samsung i640 features a compact design with dimensions of 94.4 x 61 x 16.9 mm and a weight of 148 grams, making it portable.
- Its 2.4-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels with a pixel density of approximately 167 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a 32-bit Intel XScale PXA270 CPU clocked at 416 MHz, paired with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of ROM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 2 MP rear camera without optical image stabilization, suitable for basic photography, but lacks a front-facing camera.
- The 1000 mAh battery provides limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard, the software experience may feel outdated compared to modern smartphones.
- Connectivity options are minimal, featuring Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 1.1, with no support for WiFi or 5G.
- The device does not include stereo speakers or a headphone jack, which may affect audio experiences.
- Overall, the i640 is a basic phone with essential features, suitable for users seeking simplicity.
- Its build quality and design reflect the era of its release in 2008.
