Sound and Connectivity
A key highlight of the Z500 was its stereo speakers, which provided a better audio experience than many competitors at its price point. Additionally, the 3.5mm headphone jack was a welcome feature for audio enthusiasts who preferred traditional wired headphones. In terms of connectivity, the Z500 supported Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and also featured an FM radio, a practical addition for regions where radio was still extensively used. However, it lacked NFC, which was becoming more common at that time.
