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.

Garmin-Asus Phone — Brand New!

Heather — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 01:05:47 +0000

Garmin-Asus is one of those companies that I did not expect that was going to go from making GPS’s all the way to making phones. Personally, I think that this particular company is going to be huge in the phone world and I certainly believe that it is going to come out with some awesome smartphones.

Take the awesome Garmin-Asus M10 for example! This is a phone that is going to be released in India and I have to say that there are a ton of benefits in this phone. For example, the 3.5-inch 480 x 800 touchscreen display, a Qualcomm 7227 600MHz processor, a 5MP autofocus camera, a 512MB RAM, a 512MB ROM, a 4GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot (up to 32GB), GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 1500 mAh battery and runs on Windows Mobile 6.5.3 OS.

You want technology? This is a phone that has it all!
