Comparisons Featuring Sony Ericsson K850
Short Review
- The Sony Ericsson K850, released in 2007, features a compact design with dimensions of 102 x 48 x 17 mm and a weight of 118g, making it portable.
- Its 2.2-inch TFT display supports 256K colors with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 182 ppi.
- Performance is limited, with 40MB of internal storage and 40GB of RAM, which may restrict multitasking capabilities.
- The standout feature is its 5 MP rear camera with autofocus, although it lacks optical image stabilization and video recording is limited to 320p at 30fps.
- Battery life is supported by a 930mAh capacity, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- The software experience is basic, lacking advanced features and connectivity options like WiFi or NFC.
- Bluetooth 2.0 is available for wireless connections, but the absence of a headphone jack and stereo speakers may deter some users.
- The K850 is available in Luminous Green, Velvet Blue, and Quicksilver Black, offering limited color choices.
- Overall, while it has a solid camera for its time, the K850's performance and features may feel outdated by modern standards.
- The build quality is adequate, but the lack of water resistance and modern connectivity options limits its appeal.
