Motorola Gleam+ Specs and Features

At the first glance, the Motorola Gleam+ has a classic flip phone design. It’s easy and light enough to carry in the pocket since its weight is just 105g. When you open the lid, you will find a small 2.8-inch screen resulting 400 x 240 pixels of image resolution. Also, there is reveal a large old-fashioned numberpad with its easy-to-press keys. When the Motorola Gleam+’s lid is closed, it remains a little lip at the bottom side, revealing the Motorola logo.

On the front side, the Motorola Gleam+ has white lights panel with 16 lights tall and nine lights wide. A notification indicated by the arrows animation with an envelope-like graphic and a number tell you that you have just had unread messages.

This very basic handset Motorola Gleam+ comes into the market with no support to GPS, Wi-Fi, or 3G, though there is only limited connectivity to GSM and GPRS. The keyboard keys on its interior are large yet responsive.

The Motorola Gleam+ owns a 2-megapixel camera that is docked on the flip lid that becomes the back of the device when the flip lid is opened. Indeed, it’s a very basic camera with no flash support while the camera shooting options meets its very limitation. The camera features a night scene mode, two-and-five-shot continuous modes, and 10 and 15 second timers. The balance setting remains incandescent, cloudy, and fluorescent. You can use the Motorola Gleam+’s camera to shoot images with effects of color invert, sepia blue, sepia green, grey, and sepia.

What the interesting about the simple Motorola Gleam+ is the battery life. The 750mAh battery that is provided powers the Motorola Gleam+ for up to two days before the battery demand the next charge while Motorola promises up to 4 hrs 49 mins of talk time. The long battery life might be resulted from the non-big processor and small screen that the Motorola Gleam+ has.
