Specs




Display


Display brightness

Brightness is the amount of radiating light emitted from the screen. The brightness rating is measured in candellas per square meter, commonly known as 'nits'.
00 cd/m-


Always-on display




Display type

Type of display (screen) e.g. LCD.

Digital


Display resolution

The number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It is usually quoted as width - height, with the units in pixels: for example, "1024 - 768" means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels. The higher the number of pixels, the sharper the image.

396 x 484 pixels


Touchscreen

A screen of a laptop, smartphone, etc., that responds to touch so you can control the interface using your fingers.

Protection features

Physical effects from which the product is protected e.g. water resistant, crash proof.

Dust resistant, Water resistant, Waterproof


International Protection (IP) code

The IP code classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against the intrusion (including body parts such as hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures. It is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The digits (characteristic numerals) indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below. Where there is no protection rating with regard to one of the criteria, the digit is replaced with the letter X. an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not be damaged or become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. Another example is the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, one of the first cellular phones to be IP-rated; it is rated at IP58 and marketed as "dust resistant" and can be "immersed in 1.5 meter of freshwater for up to 30 minutes".

64-bit computing

The use of processors that have datapath widths, integer size, and memory addresses widths of 64 bits (eight octets). In 2003 64-bit CPUs were introduced to the (previously 32-bit) mainstream personal computer arena in the form of the x86-64 and 64-bit PowerPC processor architectures and in 2012 even into the ARM architecture targeting smartphones and tablet computers, first sold on September 20, 2013 in the iPhone 5S powered by the ARMv8-A Apple A7 SoC.

GPS (satellite)

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. The system provides critical capabilities to military, civil and commercial users around the world. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.

Ports & interfaces


Wi-Fi standards

The type of wireless local area network (LAN). It can be ad-hoc, where units in a network communicate peer-to-peer, or Infrastructure, where units communicate with each other via an access point A LAN interconnects computers in a small area e.g. home, school or office.

Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n)


Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a low-power radio technology developed to replace the cables and wires currently used to link or connect electronic devices such as personal computers, printers, and a wide variety of handheld devices including mobile phones. Because it uses radio-wave connectivity, a Bluetooth-enabled device has a constant, established connection to whatever browser it uses. This saves the user the trouble of logging on to check for emails or news updates, for example.




USB port

The device features a socket into which a USB cable can be plugged.




Near Field Communication (NFC)




Wi-Fi
