Comparisons Featuring Samsung i897 Captivate
Short Review
- The Samsung i897 Captivate features a sleek design with dimensions of 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 118g, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 4.0-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and decent clarity at approximately 233 ppi.
- Powered by a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A8 CPU and Hummingbird chipset, the performance is adequate for basic tasks, though it may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 1500 mAh battery provides moderate longevity, but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 2.1 (upgradable to 2.3), the software experience is dated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- Overall, the Captivate offers basic functionality with a focus on design and display, though it lacks advanced features found in newer models.
