Comparisons Featuring Siemens SX45
Short Review
- The Siemens SX45, released in 2001, features a bulky design with dimensions of 134 x 87 x 26 mm and a weight of 330g, making it less portable than modern smartphones.
- Its TFT resistive touchscreen displays 65K colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing a decent visual experience for its time, though lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a 150 MHz 64-bit NEC VR4122 CPU and 32MB of storage, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The device does not include a rear or front camera, which is a significant drawback for users seeking photography features.
- A 1550mAh battery powers the device, but it lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The operating system is Microsoft Windows CE 3.0 for PocketPC, which may feel outdated compared to contemporary software environments.
- Connectivity options are minimal, as it does not support 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and a headphone jack further limits its multimedia functionality.
- Overall, the Siemens SX45 is a basic device with limited features, primarily suited for users who require essential communication functions.
- Its design and performance reflect the technology standards of the early 2000s.
