Review of Samsung Conquer 4G

Steve — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:11:57 +0000

The 4G after the name of the Samsung Conquer have added value and cost to this smart phone. The 4 tag means it is compatible to the next generation networks. The specs of the Samsung Conquer 4G is above average and its price is inexpensive for its range but not cheap.

At 116 grams, the Samsung Conquer 4G is very light and this is attributed to the plastic build, lack of a keyboard, and the smaller screen at 3.5 inch. It comes small at 116x0x12 mm. The back comes with some texture which avoids fingerprints and also gives some friction when you place it in your pocket.

At the side of the phone, you will find the volume rocker on the left side, camera key on the right, and headphone port on the top. At the bottom of the Conquer 4G are the mic and the micro USB port for charging.

In front, you have the 1.3 MP camera, the standard Android nav buttons just below the screen. The Conquer also comes with a 3.2 MP camera that can be at par or better with the Nokia N8′s performance. The camera comes with more settings that most brands in the market.

The Conquer 4G comes standard with a vanilla appearance and by default with the Gingerbread/ Android 2.3.4 . The service provider might put in some customization and some ringtones, wallpapers, widgets, and apps.
The battery life is pegged at six hours.

The Conquer 4G by Samsung is not a high end phone but it makes most of the components that it has.

Samsung delivers Corby Smartphone I5500

Steve — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:07:51 +0000

Korean cellphone manufacturer Samsung recently announced the i5500 Corby Smartphone which despite its size runs on v2.1 Android. The i5500, also coined the Galaxy 5, is very comfortable on the hand and pretty much feels like the other Corbys that you can find in the market.

This smartphone walks its talks for an entry level gadget, and sports connectivity features that you can possibly imagine. It has a quick processor for its brain with a nice smart OS to keep things flowing smoothly.

Checking out the specs sheet of the i5500, we say it is pretty impressive. It comes with a fast 600MHz processor, 2.8 inches QVGA touchscreen, accelerometer sensor, 100 MB internal storage, microSD slot, and a 2MP camera.

The connectivity comes complete with 36, Wi-Fi, GPS, a port for microUSB, and an audijack.

The system of the Samsung i5500 depends on the Éclair version of the Android v2.1. We cannot find anything about the RAM and ROM but it will be safe to say that they are at least 256 megabytes each.

Battery life will also not be a problem as Samsung fitted it with a 1200mAh pack.

It will available in Europe by next week starting at 199 Euros. It will come to Italy first via Wind and TIM.

Heather — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 00:39:21 +0000

While Motorola is doing something incredible with their Korean phones, let’s move onto Samsung, who is actually releasing a brand new phone in India. The Samsung Monte S5620 is actually a phone that I have been keeping tabs on for quite some time now and I have been looking forward to it being released.

The Samsung Monte S5620 is actually now available in India and while it might be expensive, it is absolutely worth it. As a reminder, phone offers a 3-inch touchscreen display, a 3.2MP camera, Samsung’s TouchWiz UI 2.0, a 200MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot (2Gb microSD card included), an FM radio, Google Maps, A-GPS, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 3.5mm headset jack.

All of this and it is packed into one phone? That is one heck of a phone huh?

Samsung GT-I9000 Android-Powered Smartphone Is Hott!

Samsung is one of those companies that is constantly changing and is on the up and up all of the time. They pack all of the latest and greatest technology into all of their phones and I can tell you for sure that the brand new Samsung GT-I9000 is one of those phones. This is actually an Android 2.1 powered phone that has all sorts of technology packed inside of it.

The phone is packed with all sorts of technology and some of the specs include: a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen and a 1GHz application processor that enables vibrant 720p HD video playback, rich augmented reality content through Layar Reality Browser, and advanced LBS (Location Based Services).

The Samsung GT-I9000 also has the “Social Hub” feature that provides always-on social networks connectivity.

A Little Issue with the Samsung Intrepid

Heather — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:59:08 +0000

Now, because I have a Samsung, I am typically willing to give most of their phones a chance. One thing bothers me about the Samsung Intrepid, though. Thus far, most reviewers are touting as an “affordable phone” — and, you know, for some people, I am sure it is.

However, having to pay $129.99 for a phone … with service … does not strike me as the greatest deal. I recognize that lots of phones are way more expensive than that … but I also realize that, if given the choice, a lot of us have better things on which to spend a hundred and thirty dollars. Like, you know, groceries and gas and things like that.

But anyhow, maybe that’s just me. The phone is being released for Sprint, it runs on the professional version of Windows Mobile 6.5, and hey, it won the Best Seller Award, so maybe I just don’t know what I’m talking about.

Samsung Giorgio Armani W820 In Korea!

Heather — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:13:42 +0000

When designers first started teaming up with cell phones companies – I actually thought that it was going to be the stupidest thing in the world. However, now that I am actually seeing the finished product, these fashion-forward phones are actually pretty cool. It combines technology with fashion, which are two things that I absolutely love.

Now – Samsung has taken these fashion-phones to a whole new level with releasing the brand new Samsung Giorgio Armani W820 & W8200 in Korea. These two phones are honestly going to be incredible and I truly think that this is one country that these phones will explode in. The golden trim is something that is breathtakingly beautiful and these phones are actually slider phones.

Heather — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 00:00:51 +0000

Samsung is a brand that we have all come to trust to bring us the biggest and best phones. It is right up there with Apple in the way of technology and when they came out with the Samsung Messager II, I have to say that they sort of broke the mold. This particular phone is actually really cool and totally affordable and that is one of the main reasons why Cricket and MetroPCS have picked it up – because it is awesome!

The Samsung Messager II has 2.2-inch display with 240 x 320 resolution, a 2MP camera with video recording, a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a microSD card lot, a web browser, Bluetooth and supports EV-DO connectivity, all of which are awesome, awesome things for an entry-level messaging phone.

Heather — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:59:56 +0000

Samsung – we all know that they are by far the leader in the cell phone world, but I think that the greatest thing about them is that they not only produce fantastic phones, but they are inexpensive!

In this day and age, with everyone in the world trying to scrimp and save every last penny, it really helps to have a cell phone company that is willing to lower their prices and truly make it worth while to people who can not afford a lot.

That is why the Samsung Gravity 2 is actually topping out at about $29.99 on the T-Mobile front! This little beauty is a phone that is for the everyday person – it is not super hi-tech but it doesn’t have to be, for it is an entry-level phone and that is truly what people want right now!

Samsung has done it again – in the recent future, they are going to release another phone that people are going to go monkey over … the brand new Samsung Honey Bubble. This particular phone is actually pretty cool, it is going to have a lot of features – which we are going to outline below, but the overall feel of the phone itself is pretty cool. It is a slider and while I know that sliders are out right now, I like them … a lot.

Now, onto the specs for the Samsung Honey Bubble: the phone features a 2MP shooter with a panorama mode and video recording capability. This 3G handset is also known as the SPH-W8700. The cell phone provides a DMB Digital TV tuner, a Bluetooth, an MP3 player, Subway Map, M-Commerce, GPS, dictionary, and SOS Siren Alarm. All of this and even more I’m sure!
