Samsung Genio Slide B5310 Review - read honest Samsung Genio Slide B5310 reviews

The Samsung Genio Slide B5310 is a fashionable, friendly and feature-full mobile phone.

 

 

The look of the Samsung Genio Slide B5310 is similar to the S3650 Genio, although it is thicker because of the slide-out keyboard. The touch-sensitive screen is 2.8 inches and rotates automatically when you slide the QWERTY keyboard out, which makes for a pleasant typing experience. There are four rows on the keyboard including one for numbers, and the solid feel of the phone supports comfortable and confident use.

 

The three keys beneath the screen are identical to those on the S3650 Genio and Samsung Lindy mobiles, and are for call and back options. The back of the Samsung Genio Slide B5310 has what Samsung calls a Fashion Jacket which you can change to suit your mood or personality, choosing from a range of back covers.

 

 

Also known as the Samsung B5310 CorbyPRO, the Samsung Genio Slide B5310 houses some useful and fun features to keep you both entertained and in touch on the move. Together with the full social networking integration – with icons for Facebook, Twitter, Bebo and MySpace – the Genio Slide has the TouchWiz interface for enhanced user-friendliness.

 

There are three home screens on the phone with many icons for you to select as decoration. All the icons are stored along the side of the phone’s screen in a tray, and you can simply drag the ones you want out of here and onto the screen or vice versa, displaying them in a similar fashion to the iPhone. The wallpaper on the Samsung Genio Slide B5310 can be changed too and, just like on the S8000 Jet, is displayed as a continuous scene across all three screens.

 

You can enjoy music with your Samsung Genio Slide B5310 as the mobile comes with a music player and FM radio. The music controls are touch-sensitive so changing the tracks is effortless, just like on the Samsung S5600. For identifying any songs you hear on your travels, the music recognition function is good. Simply record a snippet of a track and the Genio Slide will tell you all the related details including artist name and song name. You can choose to listen via the loud speaker inbuilt into the phone or in private with a pair of your earphones as the phone has an audio connector.

 

Among the diverse ways to communicate with your Samsung Genio Slide B5310 are instant messaging and email. The 3G and Wi-Fi connections ensure your access to online sites, as well as data downloads, is swift.

 

 

The 3.15-megapixel camera on-board the Samsung Genio Slide B5310 has a fixed focus and no flash.

 

 

The Samsung Genio Slide B5310 has a full QWERTY keyboard, a comfortable and fashionable design, plenty of features and a reasonable price tag. This phone is a good choice if you want a mobile which keeps you connected in fun and practical ways.
