Platform and Performance
Under the hood, the Siemens SX1 runs on the Symbian 6.1 operating system with the Series 60 v1.0 user interface, made familiar by early Nokia smartphones. Its performance hinges on a TI OMAP 310 chipset powered by a 120 MHz ARM9 CPU. While modest by today’s standards, this configuration was competent for the era, offering a smooth experience for the device's supported applications. However, multitasking and running heavier programs posed significant challenges, given its limited internal memory of 16MB, of which only 4MB was available to the user. A saving grace was the inclusion of an MMC card slot, allowing users to expand storage for additional applications and media.
