Comparisons Featuring Sony Ericsson P990

Short Review

  • The Sony Ericsson P990 features a compact design with dimensions of 114 x 57 x 26 mm and a weight of 150g, making it portable yet sturdy.
  • Its 2.7-inch TFT resistive touchscreen offers a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing decent clarity with 256K colors, though the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz.
  • Performance is powered by a 32-bit Philips Nexperia PNX4008 CPU running at 208 MHz, complemented by 64MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
  • The 2 MP rear camera includes autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization, and video recording capabilities are present.
  • Battery specifications are unspecified, and there is no wireless charging option available.
  • The device operates on Symbian 9.1 with UIQ 3.0, which may feel outdated compared to modern software.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of a headphone jack and stereo speakers limits audio versatility.
  • Overall, the P990 combines a classic design with basic features suitable for its time.
