Short Review
- The ZTE R228 features a compact design with dimensions of 108 x 46 x 11 mm and a lightweight build at 67 grams, available in black and pink colors.
- Its 2.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 141 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is modest, equipped with 2GB of RAM and only 2MB of internal storage, which limits multitasking and app usage.
- The camera system includes a 1.3 MP rear camera, but it does not support video recording or optical image stabilization, and there is no front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 700 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging capabilities.
- The device runs on unspecified software, lacking stereo speakers and a headphone jack.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth, but it does not support 5G, WiFi, or NFC.
- The proprietary USB connection is the only means for wired data transfer.
- Overall, the ZTE R228 is a basic phone suitable for essential communication needs.
- Its features reflect its release in 2011, catering to users seeking simplicity.
