Dell XCD35 Overall Review
The Dell XCD35, announced in November 2010, is a testament to the early days of Android smartphones, offering a blend of functionality and affordability. With a 3.5-inch display, this device provides a decent screen size for its time, suitable for basic browsing, gaming, and video playback. The screen resolution offers clear visuals for the device’s capabilities, catering well to the needs of average users.
Equipped with a 3.15 MP primary camera, the XCD35 captures images and videos with acceptable quality for social media and personal use, though it falls short of the high standards set by today’s smartphone cameras. The device runs on Android 2.1 Eclair, providing access to early Android apps and features, which was a significant selling point at the time of its release.
The XCD35 is powered by a 1250 mAh battery, offering reasonable battery life considering the phone’s hardware and the era’s technology standards. It includes 200 MB of storage and 256 MB of RAM, which, while modest, supports the basic functionality of the phone. Users can expand the storage with a microSD card, a necessary feature given the limited internal storage.
