Summary
- The BenQ A500 features a slightly larger 1.9-inch TFT display compared to the 1.66-inch display of the Sony Ericsson W300, both with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels.
- In terms of performance, both devices have 20GB of RAM and 20MB of storage, but the W300 has a more capable camera that supports QCIF video recording, while the A500 only offers VGA quality.
- The W300 also benefits from a larger 900mAh battery compared to the A500's 700mAh, potentially providing better longevity.
- Build-wise, the A500 is slightly bulkier and heavier at 98g versus the W300's 94g, with the latter offering Bluetooth connectivity, which the A500 lacks.
- Both devices run on unspecified software, and neither includes stereo speakers or a headphone jack.
