Appearance

A small, neat candy bar with smooth corners will appeal to many. The moderately strict, but at the same time elegant design of the case is equally suitable for both men and women. But I still assume that the first ones will like the phone more.



Dimensions are 112x47x12 mm, weight 91 g. The phone is compact enough to fit easily into any pocket. Whether you wear trousers, jeans, a jacket or shorts, this device will not cause any discomfort.

The phone has a good weight distribution, thanks to it and well-thought-out ergonomics it fits well in the hand.

The inexpensive monoblock is distinguished by the presence of metal in the housing. This is a rare feature for a cheap phone. The front panel is black, combining glossy plastic that covers the screen with matte, slightly rough material. The block of soft keys and the keyboard of the device are made from it.



There is a silver plastic edging around the front panel, which gives the phone a more solid appearance. Rear end The model is closed with an iron lid, which smoothly transitions into the side surfaces.

At the top there is a hole for the earpiece, which is located under a plastic insert with numerous holes.

At the top end of the phone there is a standard 3.5 mm jack, to which you can connect the supplied headset or any other headphones. Closer to the left corner there is a microUSB port. It is protected by a sliding plug from dust and small debris. This is a simple and reliable design.





On the left side of the phone there is a full volume rocker. It has a comfortable texture, is easy to feel and presses gently.



On the opposite side you can see the hole for attaching the strap.



There is a microphone at the bottom.



The all-metal back cover occupies almost the entire back surface of the phone. Only a small part at the very bottom is made of glossy silver plastic.



The iron part moves easily, you just need to press a little on it with your finger. This must be taken into account, although under normal conditions it is impossible to lose it, it is well fixed.

There is a cutout for the phone's camera in the center, with a pair of holes next to them. The phone speaker emits sounds through them.

On the side you can see a hole for a memory card. Even though you need to remove the back cover, there is no need to reboot the device, which is convenient. Below the battery is the SIM card slot.

I really liked the phone for its size and ergonomics. It is convenient and pleasant to use, which made me very happy. When you hold the phone in your hand, you are left with the feeling of a well-made, quality thing. There are no creaks or play of parts.

The device is assembled perfectly, and the presence of metal gives those tactile sensations that in most cases are only available to owners of more expensive devices. There is only one color option available - a combination of black and silver.

Keyboard

The monoblock received the usual layout of controls. They consist of a pair of soft keys and buttons for receiving and ending calls. The elements are located on a single insert; this is a plate without any relief. Only small notches stand out on it, which symbolize the above buttons. But, despite the fact that such a design may seem inconvenient, the keys are comfortable to use. The buttons have a small and clear stroke; they are pressed with a soft mechanical click. There is enough free space between them to eliminate false positives.

In the center is a five-way navigation key. It is made in the shape of a square with slightly beveled corners. The central part turns out to be slightly recessed due to small sides, which are made of silver plastic and border it. Below is the keyboard block, which traditionally consists of 12 keys: 3 buttons on each row. Like the navigation block, these elements are made in the form of plates, which are separated from each other by small horizontal slots. They help you navigate between lines of buttons when typing text blindly.

Again, contrary to doubt, the buttons are convenient to use. They are large, press gently, and have a moderate stroke. The symbols are written in white font: both Cyrillic and Latin, and numbers of the same color. They are clearly visible in any conditions due to the contrasting black background. The phone is perfect for those who type a lot of messages.

Screen

The phone's TFT display has a diagonal of 2.2 inches. Up to 262 thousand colors are displayed, the resolution is 240x320 pixels.



The viewing angles are small, the colors of the pictures are noticeably distorted, you just need to turn the phone slightly on its side. On the street, the image fades, but remains readable. You can see the data under the bright sun, but the image quality cannot be considered one of the strengths of the device.





The screen has several levels of brightness adjustment, which allow you to select the optimal backlight level.



Interface

Service information is displayed on the display, and the user also has the ability to customize the desktop at his own discretion, fortunately, the possibilities are wide. You can move the clock around or remove it completely; there are a number of application icons that can be activated without going into the menu, which is convenient. There can be 15 such applications, choose them at your discretion. For example, you can display a calendar on your desktop, display time in two time zones, display information about missed calls, unread messages and a lot of other useful information.


An interesting feature is the use of icons for quick communication with subscribers from the phone book. Up to 18 such contacts can be present on the desktop; each can be assigned a picture for clarity; part of the name is also displayed, but not completely. By selecting a contact, you can see if there have been missed messages or calls from him, as well as make a call, write an SMS message or email. From here you can add new data to a contact or view current information about it. If desired, you can remove all additional information displayed if you prefer a laconic design style.


The menu consists of 12 icons, 3x4. They cannot be swapped. Navigation using numeric keys throughout the menu works. I really liked that the phone remembers the last item the user stopped at. You can exit to the desktop, log in again, the cursor will be placed on the section where the user was before, if you enter it after that, you will end up in the same place.


Soft keys (the left button opens “Menu”, the right button “Contacts”) cannot be reassigned to perform other functions. The menu is navigated using the number keys, and the volume buttons are also used.


The menu is modified using pre-installed themes, there are 3 in total. Moving around the phone can be accompanied by animation effects. Set a picture to decorate your desktop, select the font style in the menu and when typing phone number.

Phone book

When you open your contacts, you can see 3 categories. The first is the contacts themselves, which are stored both in the phone’s memory and on the SIM card, of which up to 1000 can be stored in the phone. The other is groups that you can create yourself, adding up to 20 contacts to each, and also assign a melody subscribers combined into one category. And the last one is a self-generated list of favorite contacts (of which there can be no more than 18), which are also displayed on the desktop if such a function is enabled in the settings. The list of numbers is ordered by first or last name. The phone can display numbers that are stored in the phone memory or on the SIM card, both together and separately.


Each contact can be assigned 5 numbers, and you can also select a type: mobile, landline, car phone, fax). You can specify multiple addresses from additional data Email, send a contact to a group, set a birthday date (it will appear in the calendar), and add a text note and other information.


You can add a ringtone or a picture to the names recorded in the phone book, either from the preset ones or from those you added yourself to the phone’s memory or to a flash card.



In contacts there is a function to search for a subscriber by first letter. There is a speed dial function for 18 numbers.

Call log

The call log consists of several categories: all, missed, dialed numbers, received calls, sent messages, received messages. The first section includes all actions: calls, messages, emails, messages from social networks. This is convenient, you can view the entire list and quickly find necessary information, there is no need to go to different menus.


Each of the other categories displays up to 30 numbers. The number of conversations with each subscriber is also displayed next to the numbers: if you hover over the number of interest and enter this item, the phone will display the date and time of calls. From the call log, you can add a number to an existing contact or create a new one. There is a “black list” function. There is a call log, which displays the time of calls (divided into incoming, outgoing, etc.), a counter of messages and transferred data. The phone has a fake call feature that allows you to imitate incoming call.


Messages

This section contains SMS and MMS. The phone has a memory for 500 messages, and additional SIM card capabilities can be used. As such, there is no division between SMS and MMS: adding to simple text message picture, melody or long text, it automatically turns into multimedia. The limit for MMS messages is 300 kb. There is a signal repeat function: if the message has not been read by the owner of the phone, then the device can send a signal after a certain period of time (after 2.5 or 10 minutes). sound signal. There is T9, which helps with typing.




Messages are grouped both as dialogs and displayed in one shared folder. When sending messages, the phone offers not only recipients from the phone book, but also numbers previously used in correspondence. Unwanted recipients can be blocked, messages received from them will be automatically added to the spam folder, from where they can then be deleted.




Email

To check email, configure the built-in client necessary for this purpose. You can enter several accounts, the built-in application will help you set up mailboxes on such popular resources as Google, Yahoo, Windows Live. Creating a mailbox from the popular Mail.ru did not pose any difficulties. You can view your mail either as a general list or examine the contents of different mailboxes individually. As with SMS, you can scale the font. IMAP4, POP3, SMTP, SSL, TLS are supported.


You can install on your phone automatic synchronization, having set the desired fixed time period (from 30 minutes to 1 day), set the maximum size of the downloaded letter (from 100 kb to 5 mb), as well as the number of email messages downloaded to the phone memory. An automatic signature can be added to letters sent from your phone. You can also attach any file that is in the phone's memory.


Message blocking works, letters are sent to a separate folder without ending up in the inbox. Generally, mail client implemented well, except that the verification interval is almost automatically selected for all accounts, which may not be very convenient.

Camera settings:

Resolution: 3.2M (2048x1536), 2M (1600x1200), 1M (1024x768), 0.3M (640x480), 0.1M (320x240).

Album covers included in song tags are displayed; no problems with encoding were noticed either. The phone plays MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC, eACC+ formats.

The track you are listening to can be assigned as a call or message melody, assigned to a subscriber, or set as an alarm. The player can turn off after a specified period of time (from 30 minutes to 2 hours of operation in background).


The user has 9 preset equalizer settings available to the user, but cannot set their own parameters. Interestingly, in the settings you can reassign the actions of the keyboard keys and control the player with their help.



The sound quality is average - background noise in the headphones leaves an unpleasant feeling. But if you don’t make any special demands on the player, the phone can also serve as a source for listening to music.

There is support for RDS, the device can tune to radio frequencies independently, saving them, you can independently set priority stations and assign a name to them.

Through it you can view and listen to a variety of content. Images are shown as a vertical list or as a matrix of preview images. This includes pictures and videos taken with your phone camera. Data is sent different ways to other devices.


Browser

The built-in Internet browser does not work well; when you try to open large resources, an error about lack of memory pops up. Therefore, the destiny of this application is WAP sites specially adapted for phones. You can rotate the image on the screen; there are a number of standard settings.

how long have you had this phone?

I purchased this phone on January 13, 2011 (a symbolic date, almost Friday the 13th). I wanted to buy a reliable, high-quality mobile phone to replace my Motorola Razr2 V8. Over almost two years of operation, the back cover of the Motorola peeled off, the rubber plug covering the mini-USB connector fell off, and in general the device began to glitch a little (the battery began to discharge very quickly, the phone periodically lost the network). For this reason, there is a need to replace the old phone with a new one.

Do you use it until now? If not, why did you break up with him?

IN this moment I use the phone, but the question of replacing it is on the agenda. Why did I start thinking about changing new phone, which I bought a few days ago - read about it below.

How did you get this phone? By what criteria was he chosen?

This phone came to me after preliminary research and purchase at the salon cellular communications. I wanted to buy a quality product for a reasonable price. Spending tens of thousands of rubles on purchasing a fashionable smartphone with tempting technical characteristics I thought it was unnecessary. I needed a reliable and high-quality phone for calls. The important criteria that guided my selection were:

  • reliability of design;
  • high-quality screen;
  • comfortable keyboard;
  • presence of a mini-USB connector;
  • support for large memory cards;
  • high-quality and convenient phone book;
  • ability to install applications;
  • loud bell;
  • availability of Bluetooth.

    I wasn’t interested in the quality of the camera at all, since for photographs I have good camera, and I use the camera in my phone as a replacement for pen and paper (for example, I saw an important announcement and took a photo, and calmly copied the information at home).

    What do you like? Strengths telephone, dignity.

    I liked the design of this model, somewhat reminiscent of Nokia (although I did not own a single phone from this manufacturer). Also a big plus was the presence of a retractable curtain covering the mini-USB connector and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, which allows you to use the phone as a music player. Another undoubted advantage of the phone is support for 16 GB microSD memory cards. Back cover, made of metal, also made a good impression, and it is very easy to remove and install back (no Herculean effort required). I really liked the ability to customize almost all phone parameters. The screen is enough good quality- of course, this is not super AMOLED, but for a regular phone it’s very good. According to the seller, the screen does not go blind in the sun, but I have not yet been able to check this.

    The desktop has a link bar where you can display 15 shortcuts to frequently used applications (very convenient, you don’t need to go to the phone menu, everything you need is at hand). It seemed to me that this mobile phone has a certain “smartphone” inclination, but this does not spoil it at all, but on the contrary, improves the ease of use. For example, information about a missed call or received SMS does not hang at the top of the screen in the form of a tiny icon, but is located on the desktop as a link (everything is immediately clearly visible). What I also really liked was the gorgeous phone book that meets all my requirements. I instantly put my contacts in order, organized them into groups, and entered a bunch of additional information that could not be done on the previous phone.

    Another beauty in this phone that won me over was the ability to create a backup copy on a memory card (you can archive your contacts, messages, calendar, tasks and notes). On your phone, you can accidentally delete an important contact or message and then tear your hair out. But this device has a recycle bin into which deleted information goes (however, you must first activate the recycle bin and select what needs to be saved there). I give this a huge plus. I was also pleased that Samsung overcame one of its “childhood diseases”. Previously, when downloading java applications to a Samsung phone, it was necessary to add jar file also add jad, now this is gone (jad is no longer needed).

    For this phone, I note very decent music playback. Although I’m not a super music lover, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. The bell is very loud, it will wake up even the dead, this can also be attributed to the advantages of the device (this is my opinion, someone may think differently).

    What's not to like? Weak sides, flaws.

    Now about the sad thing:

    1. If headphones or a USB cable are inserted into the phone, the back cover cannot be removed (design features).

    2. An annoying bug in the phone - a limitation on the size of the installed application (anything above 700 kilobytes is not installed, the phone gives an error - the amount of data is too large).

    3. Small volume internal memory- 50 megabytes.

    4. You can set your own ringtone or assign a ringtone or picture to your contacts, but the phone will first copy this to itself (and the memory capacity is small). Imagine if you have several hundred contacts and you want to assign each one their own call and their own picture. The phone doesn't have enough memory for this. What prevents you from using a memory card and not copying everything to yourself is known only to Samsung engineers.

    5. The keyboard could be more comfortable, the bottom row of buttons is inconvenient to press with one hand, I instinctively hold the phone with the other hand so that it does not slip out of my hands. If it is a monoblock, it should be easily controlled with one hand; in this case, a design flaw does not allow this.

    6. The 4-way navigation key, soft keys, call key and power/end key do not light up in the dark. This is a huge disadvantage of the device's design.

    7. Strange alarm clock. You cannot set the alarm on weekdays or weekends (Motorola does this without any problems). There is a choice - either repeat every day, or weekly (you need to choose the day of the week), or once. It turns out that you need to set five alarm clocks, one for each working day of the week - very original.

    8. If you insert a SIM card into your phone, the “download games” link automatically appears in the “Games and Applications” section (if there is no SIM card, the link disappears). The link, of course, is paid (I didn’t check - it’s already clear). Draw conclusions.

    9. The phone has a completely useless and meaningless menu item "Samsung Apps". It’s as if the user doesn’t know where to get games and programs for this phone. The Internet is full of free alternatives - just use the search. But the manufacturer believes that the user does not know this and should not know anything, so he offers “Samsung Apps”, which will rip you off for downloading content.

    10. And now the most important drawback, because of which I am thinking about replacing the device. This phone contains malicious applications that are specially protected from removal. These applications are located in the "Games and Applications" section and are called "Durak" and "Hangman". Shareware games were instantly destroyed, since no one is going to pay money for something that can be obtained completely free of charge. The desire of the manufacturer and operator to earn extra money is understandable, but the user, from the very beginning, should be able to manage pre-installed games.

    We are not talking about critical system files and settings - they certainly need to be protected and even hidden from the user’s eyes. "Durak" and "Hangman", not being critical files for the phone, for some reason cannot be configured in any way. I look at the permissions (i.e. the settings of these applications), there are 8 points there that I cannot change: use the network - allowed; using messages is allowed; send a message - allowed; autostart - allowed; local connection- allowed; multimedia recording - allowed; reading data - allowed; data recording is allowed. Those. No one asks me if I want these games to go online, send messages, etc., everything has already been decided for me. It’s an absolute disgrace to embed games into your phone that cannot be removed and that can send a paid SMS. This is a potential threat, in other words, there are two very dangerous Trojans on your phone, disguised as games. To call a spade a spade, these are malicious applications of a destructive nature. Imagine if a child or any unprepared person took the phone to play? At best, the balance may be zero, and at worst, you will have to change your number due to a three-digit debt.

    What is the reason for such zealous protection of the two above-mentioned “games” from removal? Nothing more than a desire to make money in the most cynical way - by imposing unnecessary games on the buyer, pre-programmed to send paid SMS.

    I began to deal with this problem on my own, since I did not receive an answer on this issue either on the Samsung website or by calling the hotline of this manufacturer. I went to the Savelovsky market, contacted several points that deal with phone firmware, and asked to remove the built-in crap from the phone. Unfortunately, they couldn't help me. Apparently, the infection is very deeply integrated into the phone’s firmware. I was recommended one person who supposedly could help me, but he was not there. I'll have to go to Savelovsky again. If this specialist is unable to remove the infection from the phone, all I can do is change the device.

    What do you miss about it?

    Recording capability telephone conversation would not be superfluous, especially considering the support for large memory cards.

    What phone features do you use often?

    I use the phone for its intended purpose - telephone conversations. For SMS I use Jimm.

    What phone features do you use occasionally?

    Camera.

    What functions do you not use at all?

    Voice recorder, "Samsung Apps", applications that are located in the "Communication" section of the menu (uTalk, Bluetooth chat, Twitter and communities).

    Did you have to repair your phone?

    I didn't have to because the phone was completely new.

    What troubles happened with your phone?

    Trouble happened to the manufacturer, which tarnished its reputation and allowed two dangerous viruses to be built into the firmware of a (generally good) phone.

    What glitches were noticed?

    Try to compare the phone with other models you have used.

    Compared to the Motorola Razr2 V8, this phone loses in the processing speed of Java applications. Games on Motorola went faster.

    What else can you say?

    If it were not for the shortcomings listed above, this phone would be a good choice for those who need an inexpensive and high-quality means of communication.

    If I manage to remove integrated viruses from the phone, I will give it 8 points (after all, the shortcomings that I mentioned above spoil the impression of the device). But at the moment I can’t evaluate a phone with pre-installed viruses; it doesn’t even deserve one point. I will not recommend purchasing. Avoid phones with pre-installed viruses. To recognize them, open the “Games and Applications” menu section and see if “games” that are protected from deletion are installed there (they are usually indicated by a lock and the inscription sys, i.e. system file).
