Motorola SPICE Key Review

Score: 44.7 / 100

Motorola SPICE Key is a not so powerful Android phone released in July 2011, provisioned with a good processor clocking at 600 megahertz, a 2.8 inches display and a 3 mega-pixels back-facing camera. Is that all? Not at all, it's just the starting point of this extreme review.

This phone is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227-1 system chip, which holds a good processing unit running at 600 MHz and just 256 MB of RAM.

This cellphone feels a bit heavy for a phone of this size, weighting 3.88 oz. This phone is a little bit thick for today's standards, with a thickness of 0.53 inches. The Motorola SPICE Key isn't a compact cellphone, given that it is 4.59 inches long and 2.28" wide,but it only packs a 2.8 inches screen.

This phone has a nice 320 x 240 (QVGA) 2.8" display, which makes all photos and movies look quite vivid. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.

This cellphone is equipped with only a 3 megapixels back facing camera. It is capable of filming VGA 640x480 videos at 24 fps.

This phone features Wi-Fi connectivity (although it can't be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast data connection, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Motorola SPICE Key works with a SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone also includes a couple interesting features like Bluetooth (2.1, EDR) and GPS Navigation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone counts with a 1420 mAh medium sized Li-Ion battery providing this phone with a poor battery duration.
