Motorola FIRE Review
(XT311) Score: 44.7 / 100
Motorola FIRE is a mid-end device released many years ago, featuring a 600 megahertz processing unit, a 2.8" display and a 3 mega-pixels back facing camera.
Motorola decided to equip this phone with a Qualcomm MSM7227-1 chip, including a fast CPU speeding at 600 megahertz and only 256 MB of RAM.
While the Motorola FIRE is as big as 4.59" long and 2.28" wide, it only comes with a much smaller 2.8 inches display. This cellphone is a bit thick compared to today's cellphones, with a thickness of 0.53 inches. Motorola appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 3.88 ounces device.
The Motorola FIRE is equipped with a good 2.8-inches screen with a 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution, giving this phone a nice image quality. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.
The Motorola FIRE is only equipped with a 3 megapixels back side camera. It can also capture VGA 640x480 videos at 24 fps.
The Motorola FIRE has a medium sized 1420 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for many hours, but you may need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage.
This device has wifi connectivity (although it can't share it with other devices acting as a router or modem) and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM networks.
This cellphone also features a couple cool features as Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth phones and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
The Motorola FIRE is not a very good choice considering it is sold for $ 100, and other similar devices cost a lot less than that.
