Summary
- The Samsung R360 Messenger Touch features a 2.6-inch TFT display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, while the Vodafone 840 has a slightly larger 2.8-inch TFT display at the same resolution but with fewer colors (65K vs.
- 256K).
- Both devices offer similar performance with 100MB of storage and 100GB of RAM, but the R360's slightly smaller dimensions (105 x 54 x 15 mm) and heavier weight (108g) suggest a sturdier build compared to the Vodafone 840, which is lighter at 93g and measures 106 x 56 x 13.9 mm.
- Both phones have a 2 MP rear camera without OIS and no front camera, providing basic photography capabilities.
- The R360 has a 1000mAh battery, while the Vodafone 840's battery capacity is unspecified, indicating a potential disadvantage in battery life.
- Software experiences are not detailed for either device, but both lack advanced connectivity options like Wi-Fi and 5G.
