| Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | No |
| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Accelerometer, gyro, compass |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes |
| Audio Technology | Stereo |
Battery
| Capacity Battery Capacity is a measure (typically in Amp-hr) of the charge stored by the battery, and is determined by the mass of active material contained in the battery. The battery capacity represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain conditions. | 6944 mAh |
| Battery Life | 10 hours |
| Charging | Wired |
Camera
| Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality. | 0.7 MP |
| Front Camera | 0.3 MP |
| Video | 720p@30fps video recording |
| Camera Features | Video calling |
| Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration) | No |
Connectivity
| Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless communications technology for exchanging data between mobile phones, headsets, computers and other network devices over short distances without wires, Bluetooth technology was primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices. | 2.1 |
| Wi-fi Wi-Fi is a popular wireless networking technology using radio waves to provide high-speed network connections that allows devices to communicate without cords or cables, Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming the preferred mode of internet connectivity all over the world. | Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, dual-band |
| USB | 2.0 |
| GPS GPS The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based radio navigation system, GPS permits users to determine their position, velocity and the time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world, In order to locate your position, your device or GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky. | Yes |
| NFC NFC (Near field communication) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish peer-to-peer radio communications with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches. | |
| Wireless Charging Wireless Charging (Inductive Charging) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. This is usually done with a charging station. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device. | No |

I found that the front-facing camera is perfect for video calls, and the black bezel enhances the overall aesthetics. The top features the power button, and a small hole serves as the microphone slot. On the side, there's the 3.5mm headphone jack, and the volume/mute buttons are conveniently placed. - CazuaLLUK |

I found that the iPad 2 has a sleek design and a 9.7-inch LED display with an IPS matrix for excellent viewing angles. Front features include the FaceTime camera, while the back houses a sub-1-megapixel camera primarily designed for FaceTime due to its limited picture quality. - ZONEofTECH |

I chose the 16GB Wi-Fi model in black because it looks professional and is great for movies. The iPad 2 looks sleek, with a flat back and a thin design. I notice the volume rocker, front-facing camera, and a mysterious switch that might be for muting. It feels nice. - christheappleman |
