Comparisons Featuring Samsung i740
Short Review
- The Samsung i740 features a compact design with dimensions of 107 x 59 x 13.9 mm and a weight of 100 grams, making it portable.
- Its 2.8-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displays 256K colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing a modest visual experience.
- Powered by a 624 MHz CPU and 64MB RAM, performance is adequate for basic tasks, though limited by its older architecture.
- The rear camera offers 3.15 MP with autofocus, capable of capturing decent images, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 1500 mAh battery supports basic usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, the software experience may feel dated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options are limited, with no 5G, WiFi, or NFC, and only Bluetooth 2.0 available.
- The phone does not include stereo speakers or a headphone jack, which may affect multimedia usage.
- The i740's build quality is standard for its time, with a simple gray color finish.
- Overall, it serves as a basic device with essential features, suitable for users with minimal smartphone needs.
