Summary
- The Gigabyte GSmart MS800 features a slightly larger 2.8-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with 65K colors, while the Mitac MIO A502 has a 2.7-inch display with 256K colors, offering a marginally better color depth.
- In terms of performance, the MS800 is powered by a 520MHz Marvell PXA270 CPU, compared to the 200MHz TI OMAP 850 in the MIO A502, which may lead to better overall responsiveness in the former.
- Both devices have a 2 MP rear camera with video capabilities, but neither offers optical image stabilization or a front-facing camera.
- The MS800 has a larger 1300mAh battery compared to the MIO A502's 1050mAh, potentially providing longer usage time.
- Both run on Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional, though the MS800 has a slight edge in software experience due to its newer release date.
- Build quality is comparable, with the MS800 being slightly lighter and more compact than the MIO A502.
