Bird S668 Overall Review

The Bird S668, announced in 2007, is a classic example of the early mobile phones that focused on basic communication needs. It features a 1.5-inch display, which by today’s standards is modest, yet it was sufficient for the phone’s primary functions such as calling and texting. This device is powered by a 500 mAh battery, reflecting the era’s technology where power requirements were significantly lower due to the absence of power-hungry applications.

With its compact design, the Bird S668 appeals to those who prefer a straightforward, easy-to-use mobile phone without the complexities of modern smartphones. The phone’s build is geared towards durability and simplicity, offering a tactile numeric keypad for input which many users found reliable and convenient.

While it lacks the advanced features found in today’s smartphones, such as high-resolution cameras, internet browsing capabilities, and app support, the Bird S668 serves as a reminder of the mobile phone’s primary role in communication.
