Haier U60 Overall Review

The Haier U60, announced in 2010, is a feature phone that highlights the basics of mobile communication. With a 2.4-inch TFT resistive touchscreen display, it offers a user-friendly interface for navigating through its features. The phone’s display supports 65K colors, providing a decent visual experience for a device of its class.

Equipped with a 900 mAh battery, the U60 is tailored for users who prioritize essential phone functions over advanced computing capabilities. This battery capacity is adequate for daily tasks such as calling, texting, and light multimedia use, considering the phone’s modest hardware requirements.

Photography on the Haier U60 is facilitated by a 3 MP camera, capable of capturing images for everyday moments. While not designed for high-quality photography, it serves the basic need for a camera in a mobile phone of its time.

Despite its simple design and functionality, the Haier U60 includes features that were quite useful at the time, such as a microSD slot for expandable storage. This allows users to store photos, music, and other media beyond the phone’s built-in memory.
