Summary
- The Mitac MIO A502 features a 2.7-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, while the O2 XDA Zinc has a slightly larger 2.8-inch display with the same resolution but supports fewer colors at 65K.
- In terms of performance, the A502 is powered by a 200 MHz TI OMAP 850 chipset, whereas the Zinc has a more capable 520 MHz Intel XScale PXA 270 CPU, which may provide better overall responsiveness.
- Both devices have a 2 MP rear camera with video capabilities but lack optical image stabilization and front-facing cameras.
- The A502 has a 1050 mAh battery, while the Zinc offers a larger 1300 mAh battery, potentially providing longer usage.
- Software-wise, the A502 runs on Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and the Zinc operates on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC, with the Zinc also supporting Wi-Fi connectivity, which the A502 does not.
- Build quality shows the A502 is lighter at 135g compared to the Zinc's 175g, but the Zinc is slightly bulkier in dimensions.
