Short Review
- The Samsung W999 features a compact design with dimensions of 111 x 59 x 17.8 mm and a weight of 206 grams, giving it a sturdy feel.
- Its 3.5-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon S3 chipset, complemented by 16GB of RAM and storage.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front camera is a modest 1.3 MP.
- The battery capacity is 1500 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), 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 lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the W999 combines basic functionality with a unique design, catering to users who prioritize compactness.
