Short Review

The Sony Ericsson K790, released in 2006, features a compact design with dimensions of 105 x 47 x 22 mm and a weight of 115g, making it portable and easy to handle.
Its 2.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels at approximately 200 ppi, providing decent clarity for its time.
Performance is supported by 64MB of storage and 64MB of RAM, although specific chipset details are not provided.
The standout feature is its 3.15 MP rear camera with autofocus, capable of capturing images, though it lacks optical image stabilization and video recording is limited to QCIF.
The battery capacity is 900mAh, which does not support fast or wireless charging.
The device runs on unspecified software, and it lacks modern connectivity options such as WiFi and NFC.
Bluetooth 2.0 is available for wireless connections, but there is no headphone jack or stereo speakers.
The K790 is available in Velvet Black and Allure Brown colors, adding a touch of style.
Overall, it combines basic functionality with a focus on camera performance for its era.
The absence of advanced features reflects its design as a straightforward mobile device.
