Review of GSM/UMTS-handset Samsung S7220 Ultra
Mobile-review have posted their review of the Samsung S7220. Here is their final impression.
Among all other things, the phone offers fast contact search, Fake Call and some other welcome features. Reception quality was never an issue with the Samsung S7220; its ring tones sounded a bit louder than those of the senior models in the line-up, although the vibro alert was exactly the same.
The Samsung S7350 has already hit the production line and is expected to start shipping in a few weeks. Retailing at the price point of 275-300 Euro, it's around 30 Euro cheaper than the S7350, which pops the question whether this gap is sufficient to make up for its lower-resolution display, worse video recording capabilities and other things. I don't have the answer - it seems Samsung treat the S7220 as an addition to their top-notch S7350 slider and want to keep them both in the same price bracket.
On balance, the S7220 lacks charisma, it doesn't have anything to show off or impress its user with. While it has a well-rounded feature pack and generally does the job pretty well, it just doesn't have what it takes to be a great phone. And software-wise it's little to no different from the S7350 (except for some radio-related features they have cut out for good measure). But if you are into candybar-shaped phones - definitely give it a go.
