Comparisons Featuring Toshiba G500
Short Review
- The Toshiba G500 features a compact design with dimensions of 96 x 49 x 22.9 mm and a weight of 135g, making it portable.
- Its 2.3-inch TFT display supports 65K colors with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 174 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a 32-bit Intel XScale PXA270 CPU clocked at 312 MHz, paired with 64MB of storage and 64MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 2 MP, capable of video recording, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- Battery capacity stands at 1200 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- The device runs on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, providing a basic user interface and functionality.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The G500 is constructed in a silver finish, though specific materials and water resistance details are not provided.
- Special features are minimal, with no stereo speakers or headphone jack included.
- Overall, the Toshiba G500 is a basic phone with limited specifications reflective of its 2007 release.
