Review of GSM/UMTS-handset Samsung S5600
Mobile-review have posted a review of the Samsung S5600. Here is their final impression.
We were content with the S5600’s reception quality, although it wasn’t much different from other phones in this class. The ring tones volume was pretty average, and we even missed some calls when the phone was stuffed in a bag. The vibro alert was nothing to shout about either, as it hadn’t changed at all, compared the PIXON.
A year ago or so the market saw the arrival of the Samsung F480 that retailed for almost twice the price of the S5600 at launch. Now we have a cheaper, sleeker and overall more effective device, which I personally liked (especially its Gesture Lock feature). On balance, the S5600 is a no-frills phone that is reasonably comfortable to use. Like we said at the beginning of this write-up, it’s a solid workhorse for 3G networks. And in case you won’t have any use for its 3G connectivity, you’ll be better off going for the Samsung S5230.
It’s difficult to underestimate the importance of this breed of touchscreen-enabled handsets that will soon become the main money-makers for most manufacturers – they are relatively unsophisticated, easy to use and at the same time offer above-average functionality. All in all, the S5600 is a very good choice for its money.
