Impressions and conclusions:

  • The CH388 is a nice phone for its age, even phones made today are worse than this in 1996 ago introduced phone.
  • The CH388 uses a zero-if receiver, a lot of passive filters are used, something that is not necessary with modern near zero-if designs.
  • The baseband design is from the pre ARM7 era.
  • Battery life is (too) limited.
  • Just a nice phone with many features, however looks old-fashioned even for its age.
  • Many ASICs (application specific Integrated Circuit) are used.
  • Stupid zebra strips are used to connect display microphone (!) and keyboard to the PCB.
  • A backup battery is available for the RTC.
