MWg Zinc II Overview

The MWg Zinc II is a smartphone that was announced in May 2008, incorporating the essentials of mobile technology from that era within its compact frame. It operates on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, showcasing Microsoft’s early attempts to create a mobile operating system that caters to both personal and professional use. The device is equipped with a 2.8-inch display, providing a clear view for its time, alongside a 2 MP primary camera for capturing moments on the go. Underneath its hood, the Zinc II is powered by a 1530 mAh battery and supports 64 MB of RAM, which, by today’s standards, might seem modest but was quite fitting for the mobile technology of its time. The phone’s design includes a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, which was a popular feature among business professionals and text-heavy users, offering an efficient and tactile typing experience.
