General characteristics

Type

Deciding on the type of device (phone or smartphone?) is quite simple. If you need a simple and inexpensive device for calls and SMS, it is recommended to select the phone. A smartphone is more expensive, but it offers a wide variety of options: games, videos, the Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, its battery life is significantly less than that of a regular phone.

11) One day, due to a very small amount of liquid getting into the speaker (literally 1 drop of water), the speaker stopped working completely; it was restored only after a month

Samsung GT-S5230 - My first and only touch phone

06.02.2013

Hello, dear readers of the site site.

They bought this phone for me back in 2009, the price for it was completely different then - if my memory serves me correctly, then about 8 thousand rubles. And there was no choice at that time; the main competitor was the LG KP500, which they just bought for my friend. I’ll say right away that my friend was disappointed with the purchase after just 2 weeks of use. In this review I want to reveal all the pros and cons of using the device.

For your convenience, it was decided to divide the story into parts, and you can skip those moments that do not interest you.

Unpacking. My impressions. Design

Samsung is packaged in this big cute box. By the way, about the box: the fact that it is large is not bad at all, since the risk of damage during transportation is reduced to zero.

Inside the box we have the device itself, a warranty, a detailed user manual, which is a huge plus, many telephone companies greatly simplify the instructions, citing the fact that everything is intuitive, forgetting that gadgets are improving all the time and it is becoming increasingly difficult for the older generation understand them. Okay, let's move on, and then we have a battery, a charger, a USB cable, a disk with PC Studio for synchronizing with a computer, and simple headphones.

To be honest, the fact that there is no microSD card in the package is upsetting; the standard memory capacity of this phone is only 50 MB, and I doubt that this memory will be enough for anyone.

Now, dear readers, let's take a closer look at our phone.

I want to say right away about the weight. The phone weighs only 110 g, which is quite good, it can even compete with modern smartphones. It is thanks to the light weight that the hand does not get tired at all from long conversations, and this is probably very good.

If we talk about the size of the phone, it is not too big and not too small, it has ideal proportions, it is comfortable to hold in one hand, even if you have a small hand, your finger will reach absolutely all the buttons.

At the top of the screen in the middle there is a conversational speaker, which performs the function of a regular speaker, it was cleverly done, you can’t say anything. A little lower behind the glass is the logo.

There are three buttons at the bottom: accept call, back, reject call. They are located on a separate panel. The buttons are not backlit, and it is not needed at all, since the buttons to accept and reject a call have an engraving of the handset, which can be recognized with a finger in complete darkness. Below the call reset button there is a small hole behind which there is a microphone.

On the right side we see a button to lock/unlock the phone and a button for quick access to the camera.

By the way, if you go into the camera and then press the lock button, the phone will continue to shoot, but it will not respond to touches and keystrokes, this is not a big plus. But we'll talk about the camera a little later.

There is a volume rocker on the left side of the device, and just below, behind a curtain, there is a connector that performs three functions. As a connection for a charger, USB cable and headphones. I would like to scold Samsung for such a headphone input; it’s actually not very convenient; there are simply no good headphones with such a plug. I see two ways out of this situation: order an adapter and connect your own headphones, or resign yourself and go with standard headphones, but for me this is not a problem, all the music is on my player.

Let's briefly touch on the camera again, it's far from the best 3.2 megapixels. At the very bottom of the panel under the camera is a barely visible Samsung logo.

The phone cover is corrugated and very thin. I didn’t have any problems with it, but I know a person whose lid simply didn’t stay in place and flew off when pulled out of his pocket. This may be an isolated case, but it’s better to check how the lid is removed and put on when purchasing. Corrugation of the back cover - good decision from Samsung, and there are no fingerprints left on it, and it is practically not afraid of scratches.

Under the cover of the phone there is a slot for a SIM card, a battery with a capacity of 1000 mAh, the phone holds a charge for about 5 days of inactive use, however, if you play and listen to music all day, it will last approximately 1-2 days. Under the battery there is a slot for a microSD card. Again, I didn’t like Samsung’s solution; there’s no way to get the flash drive out when the phone is on, and this is annoying.

Let's look at the screen of this phone.

The screen size on this phone is 240x400. If we compare price/quality, then the screen is really not bad, the phone supports the brightness adjustment function.

If we look at the "viewing angles", then you be the judge.

As for colors, the phone supports 16.78 million colors, here are the pictures in comparison with another device.

The sensor is moderately sensitive, it can be harmful in cold weather, but overall everything is very good. If the sensor fails, you can go to the calibration function. During the entire period of use there were no problems with the sensor.

The phone is synchronized with the computer through the New PC Studio program. However, if you are not going to save contacts to your computer or flash your phone, you won’t need to install this program; you can connect to your phone’s flash drive via a USB cable without any software.

The screen lock on Samsung is quite informative; it shows the time, day and day of the week.

Software. Firmware. Games

Let's start right away with the fact that my phone was flashed not so long ago and therefore the unlock screen, calculator, and desktop will be slightly different than on the standard firmware. GT-S5230 supports 3 desktops. The desktop itself will be empty by default and in all three options, but there is a tab on the left side of the screen; sliding it to the right will open a vertical strip of widgets.

However, there is one drawback: the strip, which is located on the left side of the screen, slides out without any problems when you touch right side screen.

The phone is fully turned on in 40 seconds; whether it is fast or slow is, of course, up to you to decide. I don’t turn my phone on/off very often, so the turn-on speed is not fundamentally important to me.

The main menu of the Samsung S5230 phone is a matrix of twelve colorful icons; the background of the main menu can be replaced with absolutely any picture to suit your taste.

In addition to the main menu, Samsung has also provided a tab that has 3 desktops, namely communications, tools and multimedia, each of which contains icons for faster access to applications and the Internet.

Let's move on to the Internet. It is, frankly, slow here - I have to wait about 30-40 seconds for the page to load. Of course, if you are not in a hurry, then everything is fine, but when you need to write something down, then every second is precious.

I would like to note several functions of the telephone directory; contacts can be sorted by groups and favorites, and for more quick search There is a slider that, when moved, can narrow the circle of people when searching. By the way, the telephone directory can accommodate up to 2000 subscribers.

One of the features of Samsung is that it supports handwriting input, which is very inconvenient to use, and if you turn the phone over when entering SMS, a standard QWERTY keyboard will be available.

You can create a schedule and notes in your phone calendar; by the way, this is very convenient.

World Clock is an application that allows you to view the time and time zone at selected points. In 4 years of using the phone I have only used this application once.

This phone was created on the basis of the Samsung S5600 model, as evidenced by its appearance and hardware capabilities. Some simplification also led to a decrease in the cost of the S5230. The smartphone was the first attempt by a Korean company to create a touchscreen smart phone for mass use. For such a price, the phone can be unconditionally called a curiosity. The review below will help you understand all the intricacies in more detail.

You might be interested in a review of the Fly phone. Find out the differences between these phones

Design and dimensions

Phones with touch screens usually have a glossy front. The surface is diluted with three control buttons located under the screen and a hole for the speaker above it. The keys have a metallic color, which complements the edging of the same color that runs along all ends. The combination of such elements with a bright design makes the smartphone memorable and attractive. The textured surface of the back of the case harmonizes perfectly with the gray details. Appearance both strict and catchy. On back cover The first thing your eye catches is the built-in camera. The battery is located under the cover. The bar-shaped case has an ideal geometric aspect ratio of 106x53x11.9 mm. Light weight of 92 g, rounded edges and smooth edges make the model incredibly convenient and compact.

Screen

The resistive display is sensitive to any touch - you can “travel” through the phone menu using absolutely any convenient object. The screen responds to touch with a signal in the form of vibration or sound. The screen is based on a 3-inch matrix (physical size 7.6 cm), with a resolution of 240x400 pixels - this creates good conditions to view widescreen videos and images in high quality. The colors are natural, rich and bright. The quality of the matrix does not allow it to demonstrate high anti-glare capabilities, but even on a very sunny day the text is readable. Viewing angles and contrast do not cause any complaints.

Reliable LG phone. See review

Ergonomics

To control the phone, three keys are provided: the middle one, when pressed, returns one action back, on the sides of it are standard ones - dialing and ending a call. The distance between the buttons and their low position in the case allow for a minimum of unnecessary clicks. The speaker above the screen is designed not only for conversations, but also for playing sound. The right side is equipped with a sensor lock key, a quick access button to the camera, and an eyelet for a lanyard/strap. On the opposite end there is a paired key for adjusting the sound volume (it is also responsible for ZOOM during video photography). Nearby is a universal “Samsung” interface connector “for everything” (cord, charging cable, headsets). There is space in the battery compartment for the memory card and SIM card. In our Samsung GT-S5230 review, we move on to the battery.

battery

The phone is powered by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1000 mAh. The manufacturer claims 5 hours of talk time and 250 hours of standby time. Under average loads, the phone can withstand 1-2 days. It will take almost 2 hours to fully charge. The most energy is consumed during data transfer.

Phone memory

The phone has its own memory of 105 MB. All bytes are open to the user. The memory card is displayed as a separate drive. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use two types at once, but it is possible to move data from one storage to another. There is no limit on the memory card capacity.

Camera options

A regular 3 megapixel camera with a fixed focus. It works in a horizontal position. The maximum photo resolution is 2048x1536 pixels. You can select modes from the list, adjust white balance and add effects. phones with similar parameters

Software-wise, the smartphone is flawlessly equipped with all the necessary applications. All functional requirements for the phone are met.

Phone book. There is a search function by capital letters. Contacts can be displayed in a general or selected list (at your discretion) and divided into groups. To store data for each destination, a large amount of information can be stored ( additional numbers, email mail, social accounts networks, position, date of birth, etc.).

Messages. Message types such as SMS, MMS and E-mail are supported. The user can easily edit, change typing parameters, fonts, add images and melodies. The phone memory is designed to store 500 messages. To enter text, you can use one of the options at your discretion: imitation of a telephone dial pad (letters and numbers), QWERTY panel (reminiscent of a computer layout) and handwriting.

Call log. This section consists of 12 points where you can manage parameters and receive information about all incoming/outgoing/missed calls. Right there: data on the duration and cost of calls, a message counter are stored.

Multimedia. The Samsung GT-S5230 model is equipped with a multifunctional music player. Audio files are available for sending and using as a call. The music search application allows you to quickly find the song you like based on a small fragment.

Browser. Convenient virtual keyboard and the ability to scale up to the right size Internet pages provide comfortable use of browser capabilities.

Organizer. It contains everything useful applications, which everyone has an idea about. These are: calendar, reminder, tasks, world time, calculator and converter.

Applications. Available in this section: FM radio, voice recorder, Bluetooth, synchronization menu, timer, RSS reader, stopwatch, games, Google Maps, alarm.

Settings allow you to select a profile, set the time, manage network and security settings, change display, backlight, sound and vibration settings.

REVIEW RESULT

Samsung Star GT-S5230 aims to become mainstream touch screen ohm Its big disadvantage is the lack of 3G support (which is not required in countries where third generation networks are only in development). It is amazing good phone, considering its favorable price. Its resistive touchscreen is bright and responsive. Some fun widgets are a nice addition.

The highlight is the elegant way to unlock the screen. This function not only removes the screen lock, but can also launch some programs.

Touch Star offers a basic set of functions, which is enough for inexperienced users.

The S5230 certainly has the potential to become a popular phone.

pros

THE WHOLE PHONE IS ONE BIG PLUS!!!)))

Minuses

wow, very small little things not worthy of attention!!;)

Impression

as promised, I’m sharing my feelings when using this device.)) in a couple of weeks, the only downside was the camera. Karl Zeis with 2 megapixels, but I think that this is still not such a big minus, especially since if you play with the camera, then there is enough interesting feature“smile”.)) set the function, point at the object and as soon as the object smiles, a photo immediately follows!)) I think it’s very convenient! There are quite a lot of camera and shooting settings for everyday shooting.;) let's move on. the controls are wonderful, responsive.)) the only difficulty I had was removing widgets from the screen back to sidebar. everything turned out to be easier than I thought! To remove the widget back, you MUST add to the sidebar what exactly you are holding the widget with! in my case it was a finger. YOU NEED TO PLACE YOUR FINGER ON THE PANEL, not the edge of the widget!!! WIDGETS, BY THE WAY, ARE A VERY CONVENIENT THING!!! The quality of the connection has never let me down!! I always hear everything clearly and clearly without any distortion!! The speaker is loud enough, and the microphone is sensitive enough.)) let's move on. I enjoyed watching movies on the device!! I downloaded a couple of movies onto the card and put on headphones and had a lot of fun!!))) very convenient if you are going somewhere for a long time on a plane or train!)) the only negative here is that the headphone jack is located just below the volume control button...( (it’s not very convenient to turn down the volume, but I don’t think it’s a small thing!!)) by the way, there is another small minus from here... because of the headphones, it’s inconvenient to put the phone on its side to look at the full screen..((as you already understood, because of the this is absolutely not worth it on the surface..((but I think that this is also a small minus.;) let’s move on. The phone is charging. It has 5 bars. For the last 2 I didn’t have enough to watch the movie (which runs 1.4) for only 5 minutes !! that is, on 2 stripes I watched a movie 1.35 instead of 1.4. This cannot but rejoice!!)) in principle, according to my observations, with fairly frequent use of the phone (music, calls, games, phone research), well, for me The charge lasts for 2 days 100%!!! and sometimes it seems even more! Another plus of charging the phone is that it is recharged from USB!!! This is very convenient for me, I don’t need to buy 2 charges!)))) what else... noticed a slight slowdown when the 2 gig card and the entire phone memory are fully loaded... advice! buy a card for at least 4 gigs!!))) otherwise there are no complaints!!! and this cannot but rejoice!!!))) although the body has not yet been fully studied!;) in general, my personal conclusion: for that kind of money, you still need to look for such a phone!!! optimal combination of price, quality, innovative technologies!!! Maybe somewhere and in some ways this device is inferior to its more expensive brothers, BUT IT IS WORTHY OF WHAT IT IS WORTH and honestly, by my standards, it should sell for at least 10-11 thousand!!!))) if you have any questions, write !! I will answer with pleasure!!!)))

pros

Budget-friendly, functional and convenient handset, with a bright display and easy navigation

Minuses

It costs more than the LG KP500, there is no cover included, and for touch phone this is a minus, because after the first time it gets into your pocket along with the keys, it will lose its appearance, half of the games in it are paid!!!

Impression

After a year of extreme use of my Nokia 6500 classic (opening beer bottles, falling in the subway, frequent business trips to regions with humid and cold climates, and how many fun “beer and other” parties she went through), I began to notice that my Finnish friend was made in China. I began to think more often about writing a will, i.e. A PARAGRAPH was slowly approaching him. First, the top plastic cover began to fly off regularly, then the keyboard backlight partially disappeared and only the 1,4,7 and * buttons glowed brightly, his reliable polymer battery also began to lose ground and was barely enough for a day of intensive use, he began to have difficulty viewing the folder with SMS messages, and there are no more than 1000 of them, and the last argument was a statement from a “hugger” from sunny Uzbekistan that he was ready to buy it for 500 rubles. After transforming the fashion handset into a dying gadget, I seriously thought about buying a new phone. I always approach this issue seriously, because... high-quality phones rarely celebrate their two-year anniversary, and low-quality ones die after 3-5 months... With the advent of iPhones on the market, I began to think about purchasing a touchscreen TV (it’s kind of cool, they support a certain image of the owner, and in general I like devices with big screen), but to my misfortune, he heeded the beliefs of those conservative-minded citizens who are ready to abide by any new technology(you’ll suffer with him in the cold, big screen quickly drains the battery, it is triggered even by touching the ear, etc.) and because of such irresponsible users, I came to buy a sensor only in 2010, when such devices had already ceased to be fashionable and were played with in the subway every fifth grader. And back in 2009, a crisis swept across the country and my phone budget underwent significant changes from 25,000 rubles. up to 7000-10000 rubles. In the end, I chose between 3 models: Samsung S5230 star (I didn’t immediately consider the Corby, because all my gay friends bought this multi-colored tube at once and, as they say, the sediment remained), 2- I handset is LG KP500, and the third is Phillips X-800. If there was a lot of information about the first 2 models both on the Internet and in showrooms cellular communications, then about Philips, as about a dead man, either good (on the official website of the manufacturer), or nothing (EVERYWHERE)... I “sucked the brains” of so many sellers (the sellers of ION and Euroset turned out to be surprisingly patient), they were ready to talk about these models sometimes even longer than I was ready to listen to them... And the significant difference between the Samsung and the ski bula is in the number of desktops (3 and 2, respectively) and the Samsung has a little more capacious battery, and Samsung, as always, captivated with the rich colors of the screen... but its cost spoke in favor of LG, on average 1000 rubles. cheaper than Samsung. In short, to be completely confident in my choice, all I needed was to hold Philips in my hands. And then one fine day in the Mega Khimki shopping center in the Svyaznoy store I came across, under an even layer of dust on a shelf with a crookedly glued cellophane protective film on the screen, the treasured PHILIPSSSSS... I couldn’t believe my eyes, had I really found something that wasn’t even on the top of my head? It turned out that something that can live between charges for a whole month, something that Galan engineers created under the influence of what is prohibited in Russia for consumption, storage and distribution.... Is this really it, the final goal of my search and a worthy replacement for my pipe. Moreover, on payday, it was probably fate... And in the eyes of the seller, I also saw joy (obviously I was one of the few who stopped at the display case with Philips). For the next 10 minutes, he frantically searched for a box from him with charger, and two girls working his shift stood at the exit, ready with their breasts to block my way out of the store without purchasing anything. We tried to turn it on for another 10-15 minutes, but the famous Xenium battery had apparently been lying on the shelf for so long that it had forgotten about its direct responsibilities. Finally the phone came to its senses and was ready to demonstrate itself. So what?, nothing!!! Philips didn’t learn how to make sensors... After the informative touch screens of Samsung and skis, I had a monochrome log in my hands. When using it, I didn’t even feel the difference between pressing the buttons or the sensor.... There is only 1 desktop, it’s inconvenient to flip between applications, but after looking at the girls who were still standing at the exit, I realized that I should buy something I have to, but no..., just not Philips.... I frantically began to look on the shelves for the phones I had already checked. And lo and behold. Samsung 5230, and nothing for 500 rubles. more expensive than competitors, and nothing like the latter, but I don’t like to take it from the window, after Philips it doesn’t matter anymore. The stereotype collapsed. And here I am on the subway trying to figure out my new phone, I’ve never written so many SMS to my beloved in my life, but on the sensor it’s not at all stressful, I called everyone I could (let them think that I remember them), I just need check your new mobile phone. I really liked the games in it (those that are free): dice and WiseStar, which I played through several times before I found out what its purpose was, and how nice it is to sit at home, look at Google Map and see that I am in the middle of the railway track, but for +- 500 meters is the permissible error. IN SHORT, I'm happy with my new phone, and let everyone who doesn't believe in sensors wash themselves with blood)))... An excellent phone for those who have not yet earned an iPhone, and Chinese counterfeits are prized.... Thanks to the Korean engineers who are yet another I was once surprised with an inexpensive and practical device.
