Summary
- The Icemobile Crystal, released in 2011, features a larger 3.5-inch TFT display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, compared to the Qtek 8300's 2.2-inch display at 240 x 320 pixels, offering a better viewing experience due to its size.
- In terms of performance, the Crystal is powered by a Mediatek MT6516 chipset with a 416 MHz CPU and 512MB of RAM, while the Qtek 8300 uses a TI OMAP 850 chipset with a 200 MHz CPU and 32MB of RAM, resulting in superior performance for the Crystal.
- Both devices have a 1.3 MP rear camera, but the Qtek's video capability is limited to QCIF, whereas the Crystal supports video recording.
- The Crystal has a slightly smaller 1050 mAh battery compared to the Qtek's 1150 mAh, but both lack fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The software experience differs as the Crystal runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo), while the Qtek operates on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, which may appeal to different user preferences.
- Build quality is comparable, though the Qtek is heavier and thicker than the Crystal.
