Comparisons Featuring Sony Ericsson TM506
Short Review
- The Sony Ericsson TM506 features a compact design with dimensions of 95 x 48 x 17 mm and a weight of 96 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 2.0-inch TFT display supports 256K colors with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, offering decent clarity at approximately 200 ppi.
- Performance-wise, it includes 35MB of internal storage and 35GB of RAM, which is unusual for a device of its time, although specific chipset details are not provided.
- The rear camera is 2 MP, capable of video recording but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 950 mAh, providing basic longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on unspecified software, lacking advanced features such as stereo speakers or a headphone jack.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.0 but no WiFi or NFC support, limiting online capabilities.
- The TM506 is available in Chrome with Amber, Emerald, and Scarlet colors, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
