i-mate SPL Review

Score: 30.9 / 100

I-mate SPL is an outdated cellphone, which counts with a 2 mega-pixels back facing camera and a small 2.2" screen. But let's get into more details.

This time, it seems like i-mate decided not to care much about the weight in this 3.59 ounces cellphone. Even though the i-mate SPL is 4.5" long, it only comes with a much smaller 2.2" screen.

I-mate designed this cellphone with a nice 2.2-inches display, and a 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution, making everything look nice.

This device works with a SIM card for GSM connection.

This cellphone only features a 2 megapixels back facing camera. It is capable of shooting videos in 220x176 .

The i-mate SPL counts with a 1100 mAh small sized Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is not really enough for a consuming cellphone like this. i-mate says this phone has a stand by time of 150 hs and a talk time of 4 hours.

The i-mate SPL is really overvalued considering it is priced $ 370, and some similar cellphones are being sold much cheaper than that.
