Benq-Siemens S81 Review

Score: 28.5 / 100

Benq-Siemens S81 is a quite basic phone released back in 2006, packing a 1.3 MP back facing camera. That's all? No, it's only the tip of the iceberg.

This time, it seems like BENQ Siemens forgot about optimizing the weight in this 3.49 oz phone. This phone is a little thick compared to current cellphones, with a thickness of 0.51 inches.

This device counts with a small 30,72 MB internal memory, which might be enough for some users having that it also has a slot for external memory cards to store photographs and videos and even some games and apps that allow being installed in the external memory.

The Benq-Siemens S81 includes a low level display with a 220 x 176 resolution, which makes all photos and movies look like low resolution media.

This device features 3G connectivity, supported by UMTS technologies. This device works with a SIM card for GSM services.

This phone is equipped with only a 1.3 mega-pixels back-facing camera. This camera also has flash.

The Benq-Siemens S81 packs a mediocre 920 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that provides this phone a quite short battery duration comparing with other similar phones. BENQ Siemens reports a 320 hours stand by time and a 4.6 hs talk time for this phone.
