Spice Mobile Mi-280 Review

Score: 38 / 100

Spice Mobile Mi-280 is a not very powerful Android cellphone, including a 650 MHz processing unit, a 2.8-inches touch-screen, a 3.2 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. That's all? Not at all, it's just the shortest summary in the world.

Spice Mobile ships this device with a good 650 MHz processor. The Spice Mobile Mi-280 comes with a 137,22 MB internal memory, a low quantity that may be adequate for some users knowing that this cellphone also has an SD card slot to store photographs and videos.

This device isn't a compact device, taking into consideration it is 4.15" long and 2.24 inches wide,but it just contains a 2.8" display. This cellphone is a little thick compared to current devices, with a thickness of 0.51". The Spice Mobile Mi-280 feels a bit heavy for a cellphone of this size, with a weight of 3.39 oz.

This cellphone has an average 320 x 240 (QVGA) 2.8 inches screen, providing this phone with a nice image quality.

The Spice Mobile Mi-280 counts with Wi-Fi connection (and it can be provided to other devices around, acting as a wireless router) and fast 3G connection type, over HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Spice Mobile Mi-280 comes with 2 SIM cards so it is able to work with 2 different carriers or phone numbers in the same device.

This device has two cameras, a 3.2 megapixels back camera and a 0.3 megapixels front side camera. This camera also has fast burst mode.

The Spice Mobile Mi-280 uses a 1000 mAh small Li-Ion removable battery providing this phone with a quite short battery life. Spice Mobile claims this device has a 200 hours stand by time and a 3.3 hs talk time.

This cellphone also includes a couple nice characteristics like Bluetooth (2.1), GPS (Global Positioning System) and FM Radio, and Proximity Sensor.
