X10 PDA With Android Like Features – Quick Preview With Pros, Cons, & Some Specs

Here is the X10, which like the China G2, tries to emulate Google’s Android operating system.  Let’s take a closer look to see how good this phone really is.

Why Google’s Android OS can even be mentioned is that this phone attempts to recreate the feeling of Google’s OS in terms of home screen icons, and internal browsing.  Quick note, this phone does not use a true Android system as its internal chipset doesn’t have processors that have enough power.  That being said, the X10 does have some nice things going for it.

Spec wise, here is what the X10 sports.

It is GSM quad band, and carrier unlocked.
It has dual SIM ports with dual standby also included.
The primary material used for construction is PCP (Polycarbonate plastic).
The screen measures in at a large 3.8 inches, has 320×480 resolution, and made of TFT materials.
It weighs 95 gm.
Measurements for the phone are L114xW57xH14 mm.
Mobile internet can be accessed via EDGE/ GPRS/ WAP 2.0 and Wi-fi.
It features a 3.5mm standard earphone jack.
When needing to browse the phone or input text, touchscreen and a virtual QWERTY board are used.
Standard use will net you 46~60 hours of battery life.
Extra apps are based on the java platform, and the phone includes pre installed ones as well as letting new ones be downloaded and installed.
A MP3/ MP4 player combo, a camera with 1.9MP plus a camcorder, an eBook reader, an analog TV, Bluetooth with A2DP, internet chat programs, and a FM radio are its largest media offerings.

Here are a few pros and cons the X10 includes.

Pros
Though fake, the Android like system does permit some customization options in regards to the home menu screen.
With such a large screen (3.8 inches) everything comes in nice and large, and the colors are both bright and sharp.
Its pre installed java apps work very well, and include some very nice ones such as Google maps and Snaptu.
Online syncing for your phonebook, calendar, and your tasks is available.
Internet came in strong and clear.
Non proprietary earphone jacks that are 3.5mm are not that common and are nice to have.

Cons
Resembling but not actually being an Android phone is a off putting if you are expecting typical performance from an Android based phone.
Though able to access email, I found its email client not very user friendly.

Though not a Android phone, the X10 stands pretty well on its own accord if you don’t think of it a smartphone.

Price. US7.76
