Connectivity
Reflecting its era, the Haier V280 is constrained to GSM 900/1800 2G networks. Lacking capabilities such as Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS, and USB connectivity, it is predominantly a device for calling and texting. Staying connected was simple and no-frills, with messaging support that extends to SMS and MMS, alongside a basic WAP 2.0/xHTML browser for minimal web browsing.
