Introduced in the last quarter of 2005, the X2i by O2 quickly made its mark as a must-have device for mobile phone enthusiasts. With its sleek design and advanced features, it was a game changer in the feature phone market.
Dimensions and Storage
Weighing only 95g and with a thickness of just 22mm, the X2i is a lightweight and compact device that can easily fit in your pocket or bag. It may be small, but it packs a punch with its impressive features.
One drawback of the X2i, however, is its lack of a card slot for expandable storage. This means users are limited to the internal storage on the device, which at the time of its release was still considered decent.
Network and Operating System
The X2i operates on O2's own feature phone system, providing an easy-to-use interface for its users. When it comes to network capabilities, the X2i supports GSM technology and runs on the 900, 1800, and 1900 bands - ensuring a reliable and stable connection.
Display and Camera
The X2i boasts a vibrant TFT display with 65K colors, making images and videos appear crisp and clear. Its main camera may only be VGA quality, but at the time it was released, it was considered top-of-the-line. It also comes with a second external OLED display for added convenience.
Memory and Other Features
While the X2i does not have a card slot for expandable storage, it does offer a decent phonebook and call record capacity. It also has a range of entertaining features such as downloadable games and customizable ringtones.
Without a doubt, one of the most impressive features of the X2i is its predictive text input, making typing and sending messages a breeze. Along with SMS and MMS capabilities, this feature sets the X2i apart from other feature phones on the market.
Battery and Other Specifications
The X2i is equipped with a removable Li-Ion battery that can last up to an impressive 5 hours of talk time and 237 hours of standby time. This means users can rely on their device for extended periods without worrying about it running out of power.
Other specifications of the X2i include Bluetooth for easy file sharing, WAP 2.0/xHTML browser for internet access, and a built-in organizer for managing tasks and appointments.
In Conclusion
Despite its discontinuation, the X2i remains a fan favorite in O2's line of devices. Its sleek design, advanced features, and impressive performance make it a highly sought after phone for those who value simplicity and functionality. The X2i may be no longer in production, but it will always hold a special place in the hearts of mobile phone enthusiasts.
