vivo iQOO 3 5G review

 

What makes a gaming phone? Powerful internals, high refresh rate display, flashy design, extreme cooling, extra controls? Well, the vivo iQOO 3 5G has...

High-quality build, shoulder buttons are a boon for gaming.

A high refresh rate would have made the display properly outstanding.

So in the end, if you want a well-rounded high-performance handset at a reasonable price and you're okay with trading off a bit of camera prowess in return for a cautious gaming bias - the iQOO 3 5G will fit like a glove.

Palm Treo 500v

 

Although it's a good smartphone, the 500v needs either Wi-Fi or HSDPA to deliver that knockout punch.

Jazzed up Windows Mobile 6 interface, QWERTY keyboard, although it takes time to learn two thumb typing, Not carrier locked

Laggy responses to button clicks, No Wi-Fi or HSDPA

Palm Treo 500v Review

 

After being a Palm OS user for quite some years, it was very interesting for me to get the opportunity to test a model running Windows Mobile 6 Standard

100% keyboard/D-pad operation ; very bright screen ; nice design (got feedback from some ladies on that aspect) ; pricing: 0 GBP in UK with 18 month contract, 50 EUR in Germany with 2 year contract BUT 400 EUR when no contract which is MORE then what I...

no copy-paste in any text enabled field ; getting to Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, etc. is a multi-keypress adventure depending on where you start (either from Home, either from somewhere else at which point you first need to press Home). Especially when...

It has also since launched in MobileOne Vodafone in Singapore, Celcom Vodafone in Malaysia, Vodafone Indonesia, Vodafone Australia and Vodafone NZ

The Palm Treo 500v is an interesting smartphone. It's not Palm's masterpiece everybody expected but it's a good Windows Mobile Standard Smartphone anyway. Feature-wise it's not complete, international travelers will definitely miss quadband GSM and...

Palm Treo 500v

 

Positioned as an entry-level smartphone in the Palm range, the Treo 500v is aimed at both mobile professionals, and regular consumers who might be int...

Design, user interface, comfortable keyboard, A2DP Bluetooth, solid features list

No Wi-Fi, no standard 3.5mm headphone jack

The Treo 500v aims to appeal to a broad audience thanks to its user-friendly menu system, a sleek design and a range of multimedia features. It's not perfect, but is definitely a welcomed entry into the market.

Palm Treo 500v review

 

Fast, easy to use, good battery life but design lets it down

3G connectivity ; Simple to use ; Familiar Windows Mobile interface ; Good battery life ; Pre-installed applications

Cramped keyboard ; Boring design ; Poor camera

Its design largely fails to inspire, but performance is more than a match for most of its rivals
