Summary
- The Palm Treo 270 features a CSTN resistive touchscreen with a resolution of 160 x 160 pixels and a pixel density of 160 PPI, while the Samsung i505 has a TFT resistive touchscreen with a slightly higher resolution of 162 x 176 pixels and a pixel density of 162 PPI.
- In terms of performance, the Treo is powered by a 33MHz Motorola DragonBall CPU and has 16MB of RAM, whereas the i505 has a more capable 200MHz Motorola MX1 CPU and 32MB of RAM.
- Both devices lack a rear camera with significant capabilities, but the i505 includes VGA video recording, which the Treo does not.
- The Treo's dimensions are larger at 108 x 71 x 21 mm and weighs 153g, compared to the i505's more compact size of 91 x 54 x 23 mm and weight of 147g.
- Battery specifications are not provided for either device, and both run on older versions of Palm's operating system, with the Treo using Palm 3.5.2H4 and the i505 using Palm 5.2.1, indicating a potentially more refined software experience on the latter.
