Motorola Milestone XT720 : An Overview
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Motorola has taken its original Milestone smartphone, ditched the slide out keyboard and some of the thickness and weight, and relaunched the feature-packed mobile as the Motorola Milestone XT720. Whilst there was nothing fundamentally wrong with the original Milestone, the market has moved on - keypads are out, and touchscreens are definitely in. So how does this new version of the Milestone compare with the other touchscreen smartphones?
The new Milestone was always going to look different to the original version, ditching the slide out keyboard has meant the new touchscreen version is slightly thinner and a little lighter - all of which counts in this market. Motorola also took the opportunity to make some other design tweaks, without straying too far from the original look, and the result is a phone that can look different depending on which side you view it from. But the end result is appealing if not stunning.
The rather unique look to the phone is designed it seems, to highlight its camera credentials, and well it might blow its own trumpet - the new Milestone comes with an incredible 8 megapixel camera. But it's not just the fact that this is larger than any of the other Android smartphones on the market that's impressive. You also get face detection, image stabilization and multi-shot features, not to mention hi definition video capture.
Another improvement from the original Milestone is the later version of the Android operating system that is installed on the Motorola Milestone XT720. This brings the smartphone right up to date, and means you can use apps from the Android Market to customize your phone. Other features are more than up to standard with the other phones in the market, and this release comes equipped with 3G, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, as well as GPS and an FM radio. If there is one thing that lets the new Motorola down, it's the fact that all these features place a big demand on the smartphone's technology, and while it copes okay, a faster processor would have been a noticeable improvement.
If there was any doubt that this phone was slightly underpowered, especially when compared with the usual big names in the smartphone market, Motorola users old and new will find that 8 megapixel camera hard to resist. Combined with the rest of the features that compare pretty well with the Apple, Google and HTCs of the world, the Motorola Milestone XT720 provides a feature-packed alternative that many will enjoy.
