BenQ T60 Overall Review

The BenQ T60, announced in March 2008, is a notable entry in the mid-2000s era of mobile phones, emphasizing design and functionality in a slim profile. This device showcases a 2.2-inch TFT display, offering a resolution suitable for viewing basic content and engaging with the phone’s interface. A key highlight of the T60 is its 3.15 MP primary camera, allowing users to capture photos with a level of detail impressive for the time.

Equipped with a 750 mAh battery, the T60 aims to provide sufficient power for daily tasks, although usage patterns today would likely demand more. The phone’s internal storage stands at 24 MB, indicative of the era’s reliance on cloud-less data storage and management. Additional features include Bluetooth connectivity for wireless data transfer and accessory connection, embodying the period’s standards for mobile communication and multimedia.
