GSmart i120: A Blast from the Past
Released in 2006 by the well-known brand Gigabyte, the GSmart i120 was a pioneer in the world of mobile devices. With its sleek design and innovative features, it quickly gained popularity among tech enthusiasts and business professionals alike.
Dimensions and Storage
Weighing only 130g and measuring 19.8mm in thickness, the GSmart i120 was designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. But don't let its compact size fool you - this device packed a punch when it came to storage. With 64MB of RAM storage and a miniSD slot, users had plenty of space to store photos, music, and documents.
Network and Operating System
The GSmart i120 was powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for PocketPC Phone Edition, making it one of the few smartphones that ran on this operating system at the time. It also had GSM technology, allowing users to stay connected through 2G bands of GSM 900/1800/1900. And although it didn't have the luxury of EDGE technology, it did have GPRS Class 10.
Display and Platform
The GSmart i120 featured a 2.4-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with 256K colors (65K effective). Though these may seem like basic specs now, they were quite impressive back in the day. The device also boasted a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, with a 4:3 ratio and 167 ppi density. It ran on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for PocketPC Phone Edition(AKU3.3) and was powered by an Intel PXA272 416 MHz CPU.
Main and Selfie Camera
The GSmart i120 was equipped with a 2 MP main camera, complete with LED flash. While this may not sound impressive compared to the cameras on smartphones today, it was a major selling point for the device in 2006. Unfortunately, there was no front-facing camera, but given the time period, this was expected.
Other Features
Though it lacked a loudspeaker, the GSmart i120 had an array of features that made up for it. It had Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 1.2, an FM radio, and even an analog TV tuner for those who wanted to catch their favorite shows on the go. It also had pocket office, MP3/AAC/AAC+/WMA/OGG/AMR and WMV/MP4 players, as well as Wise Talk and Smart Input for better communication and user experience.
Battery and Price
The GSmart i120 came with a removable Li-Ion 920/1300 mAh battery, which had a standby time of up to 125 hours and talk time of up to 3.5 hours. The device was available in silver-black and cost approximately 320 EUR.
Conclusion
The GSmart i120 may seem outdated now, but during its time, it was a top-of-the-line smartphone that set the standard for future devices. With its advanced features and impressive specifications, it cemented itself in history as one of the first smartphones to revolutionize the industry. While it may be considered a blast from the past, it will always hold a special place in the hearts of tech enthusiasts and business professionals alike.
