Motorola XT300 android 2.1

Not everything that is Android's Gold! This is the case of Motorola XT300.

This is a low-end device, IE, low-price and specifications. But this is not the problem, There are many good low price cell phones.

The bottleneck is the fact that you have only 256 MB of RAM. Android does not run well with so little memory, even the version 2.1 (Eclair). This makes the phone be too slow for all, to edit a contact. It's no use to be cute, It has to work!

Although lentão, motorola made a special ROM with very few native applications to run the main applications. The Facebook or Twitter apps, most current versions, are extremely slow but run. Instagram nor installs.

But let's talk about the good things of this phone: There's a touchscreen on the back of the appliance and that's pretty cool!. Easy to use and well thought out. Why are other phones do not have this feature?

There is also a sliding keyboard at the bottom. That makes the phone look like a blackberry but with touchscreen, What is capacitive, typical of Android.

But the qualities of the cell ends badly exploited because of the memory and CPU specifications, It's a 500 MHz ARM. That's why it takes forever to boot.

As I said before, the version of Android is the Eclair, predecessor of Froyo and Honeycomb. Use an older Android gives the possibility to have a phone with lower specifications.

At least Google Play opens, Although it is still called market, and most applications install. Of course you won't be able to run a 3d game more current, but you still finds many applications and games that run.

The interface is not so different from the other android 2. x, everything is where it should. Top status bar and traditional Dialer. Synchronizes with Google normally, including contacts and photos.

If you install the Facebook will see the screen below for a long time. No wonder. Facebook in the Android software occupies about 25 MB of RAM, and for that he turn the operating system kills all tasks, that will have to be recharged as soon as you want to use the phone for something else. That's pretty slow…

The home screen is this down there. Best to leave with a few icons for performance.

Comes with many applications installed, but nothing out of this world. The 3.2 M pixel camera features and the phone has 3 g (HSDPA) and WiFi.

Be careful when buying cheap specs as phones all typical defects of Android will be enlarged: instability, slowness and exaggerated consumption of battery.

To make matters worse, Motorola still decided to put a battery that she says be 1170mAh, but the size of that used those 600mAh monochrome Nokias. Result? The phone is not connected or 12:0 am even with moderate consumption.

To finish the hint: see sites such as GSMARENA to check the specifications of the phone that you want to buy and give up if you have only 256 MB of memory. The XT-300, for example, It is still sold for about 300 to 500 real (without plans). In this price range a Chinese phone will be much better served in the specifications, Although there is no warranty or technical support. If you are interested in risk, There are many of them in the Pandawill.
