Its 1500 mAh battery provides decent autonomy, with up to 5 hours of talk time on 2G, which is sufficient for moderate daily use. Additionally, it features support for MicroSD memory cards, allowing for easy storage capacity expansion up to 8 GB. However, this model also has several drawbacks. Its 2.2-inch screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels can make viewing multimedia content and browsing the Internet difficult. The limited internal memory of 256 MB and 128 MB of RAM restrict the ability to run multiple applications simultaneously. Furthermore, the quality of the front camera (0.3 MP) may disappoint users looking to take selfies or make quality video calls. In terms of design, the RG300 is considered robust and modern, although its weight of 168 g may affect comfort during prolonged use. The features are basic, with the absence of Wi-Fi connectivity and limited multimedia performance, which may not meet the expectations of some users. In summary, the RugGear RG300 is an interesting choice for those seeking a durable and functional smartphone, but it has notable limitations that may not suit all users.
