Samsung S7330 Reviews
Introduction
The brand new Samsung S7330 is a great new phone from Samsung which was released in September of 2008. This phone has a nice set of features as well as offering a good look and feel in terms of the design of the phone. The phone’s features include a 3.2 mega pixel camera, video recording, a media player and SMS, MMS and email facilities. The phone has a nice look and feel to it and a lot of people have said it’s basically the basic model of the Samsung Soul because it has the same features but the features overall are lower spec and aren’t as flashy as the Samsung Soul’s.
Specifications
The Samsung S7330 has a nice set of features all of which are probably for entertainment use and I definitely wouldn’t recommend this phone as a business device. The phone is equipped with a 3.2 mega pixel camera which allows you to take some pretty great shots with this phone. You can also take advantage of the media player which plays most formats of music and video allowing you to take your media with you wherever you go. You can also enjoy the FM radio with RDS which means you can listen to your favourite radio station while you’re on the go.
The phone is also equipped with a video recorder as well as a secondary camera for making video calls. The phone is 3G capable and has internet speeds of up to 3.2 Mbps which means you can enjoy high speed surfing and downloading on your mobile. You can also use the email client which allows you to send and receive emails with attachments and you’ll be able to keep in touch wherever you are thanks to this feature. The phone has a good sized display of 2.2 inches and 16 million colours, the resolution is 240 by 320 which obviously isn’t the best available but it is good enough for what this phone has to offer.
The phone is also able to be customized quite a bit using downloads of backgrounds, screensavers and ringtones which is nice, especially when you consider the phone is only available in silver. The phone also has Bluetooth and Java games, which means you can enjoy an interactive experience on this phone as well. Overall this phone has a great set of features and you can see why people are saying it’s the mini Soul or the Soul B (maybe B for budget!).
Looks
In terms of its looks, this phone is very nice and has a good feel to it as well. You can expect several compliments when using this phone due to its sleek finish and stylish design. The phone itself is 104.8mm by 49.4mm by 13.9mm in dimensions which isn’t the slimmest phone available but it’s not far off. The phone only weighs 110 grams as well so isn’t too heavy either. The phone’s design is a little unusual in that the navigation panel on the front appears to be rather large – but then with keypads and navigation keys I always say bigger is better!
Overall, the look of this phone is stylish and I think it’ll suit a lot of people – it’s definitely a stylish phone for this year and although it’s not a touch screen phone it’s still a very sophisticated slider phone so you should expect to enjoy using it and showing it off to your friends. I haven’t got anything bad to say about the looks of this phone and I think it all works very well in terms of design too. It may not be the best looking phone on the market but it is still a respectable looking phone that won’t cause insults!
Design
I think the design of this phone is good and the look and feel is very nice for a phone with basic features. It has a nice layout to the operating system and appears to all work well. The smooth interaction of the applications is nice and I think a lot of users will appreciate the easy to use interface. In terms of negatives, so far, I can’t see any and I think that this phone’s design has been well thought out and executed with ease. You are unlikely to find any problems when using this phone which shows that the design works well and is user friendly.
Overall
All in all, this phone has a great deal to offer middle range users and I think the price is very well suited to this sort of phone. It’s ideally suited to personal users who enjoy entertainment features and as far as I can tell will be a very popular phone. The fact that this phone is 3G helps with sales; I think that it is likely to make a big impact on the sales of this phone. The features available are also very good and the 3.2 mega pixel camera means it can rival some of the higher end phones on the market and as it is low in price Samsung can expect a lot of happy customers.
The phone’s features are great and the look and feel of the phone is great too so all in all, it’s a great phone. There have, so far, been no negatives about this phone that I’ve read and I think that it’ll stay that way. I think Samsung should be very proud of this phone because it offers a nice set of features for a reasonable price and the design of the phone makes it appear to be high spec and high quality – not that it isn’t. The phone offers some features which are expected in only high end phones and the camera is one example of this – with an auto focus and flash it’s probably one of the better cameras available in the middle range market.
I think that if you’re a personal user who enjoys entertainment features then this phone is ideal for you. You’ll also be able to appreciate the beautiful design of this phone which makes it an extremely popular phone to have in your hand. Overall, the phone is perfect for what it is and I think it serves the middle range market well – it’s nice to see Samsung back on form and I’m pretty sure they’re going to be at the top of their game with their next few releases.
