 BenQ S80 is announced in 2005
Design
BenQ's S80 has a standard design for this class handsets, measuring 45 x 90 x 24 mm and 110 grams. Despite the weight it has a good feel in the hand, and the good shaped plastic body and styled highlights give it an attractive and nice look.A perfectly adequate 65,000-color display is bright and crisp, and is a far step above the dim 4096-color versions on even the most recent BenQ models.The display resolution 176 x 220 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all BenQ handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The S80 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent BenQ handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the BenQ S80 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, 64-channels polyphony, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the S80 is also equipped with a 0 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 10 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. The S80 also comes with an Mini Secure Digital (miniSD) and expansion slot located under its battery,a 16-128 MB card comes bundled in the sales package, more space for images audio and video files, less time for PC and communication cable for updating internal memory, MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the BenQ S80.
Performance
Audio quality on the S80 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 840 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 300 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 126 minutes.
Availability
The BenQ S80 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
BenQ S80 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical BenQ design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
