Probably the best time in feature phones history and a great device, the most expensive feature phone ever bought. The only problem was probably the resistive touchscreen and its lifetime.
Anyway if I remember there were two SoC, the 800Mhz one was the application processor made by Samsung based on ARM11 architecture with its GPU and multimedia accelerators, the second one was the baseband 3.5G made by Qualcomm which was needed for the connectivity tasks.

Levy, 15 Jun 2020Because you can buy this phone for $100 today.You mean $30. And that's just due to a lack of stock due to this being a decade old phone so ordinarily it'd be even less.

joe nodden, 15 Jun 2020Why does that camera still compete with $100 phones from today. It doesn't. The redmi 8a has a dual pixel phase detection autofocus camera and comparing the jet to that is like comparing the first nexus to the first pixel

I used to own one and it was one of the worst phone I ever had. Hanged like anything and it spent more time at Samsung service center then in my pocket. And finally after 9 months it's processor died which Samsung replaced after 2 months of email exchanges. Finally sold it as soon as got the processor replaced. It was not more than a wallpaper viewer.

But even with extensive customizations to the UI, modern phones have a feeling sameness that phones of the past easily avoided.

It could do all the thing a modern smartphone can do today, so yes, it was a smartphone. Opening 5 tabs in the browser, multitasking were no small feat back in those days.

I had og for a month. I sold it and was very dissapointed. It was very slow, and it was often quite difficult to press the virtual buttons in the corners of the screen.
