Haier M260 Overall Review
The Haier M260 is a classic feature phone that harks back to a simpler era in mobile technology. Announced in Q2 2006, it offers a compact 1.8-inch display, which is standard for phones of its time, focusing on providing the essential functions of calling and texting without the complexities of modern smartphones.
Equipped with a 2 MP primary camera, the M260 allows users to capture photos with a modest quality reflective of the period’s technology. While not competing with today’s high-resolution cameras, it served well for basic photography needs at the time.
One of the M260’s notable constraints is its 650 mAh battery, which by current standards, offers limited usage time. However, given the phone’s minimal power requirements relative to today’s devices, users could still expect a reasonable performance through a typical day’s use.
Featuring a TFT resistive touchscreen with 65K colors, the Haier M260 embraced the early adoption of touchscreen technology, offering users an innovative way to interact with their device beyond the traditional keypad input. This feature, along with handwriting recognition, positioned the M260 as a forward-thinking device within its category.
