Samsung X830 review

Wednesday, July 18th 2007 - 16:01 CEST - Comments: 0

S amsung are definitely capable of placing some extraordinary goods on the market, as they have proven again lately with the Samsung K5 MP3 player, fully operational by touch screen, and the Samsung i7 digital camera with its swivel screen. Also the announcements they made at the 3GSM in Barcelona caused a stir within the mobile telephone market. I have received a Samsung SGH-X830 sample for testing; a mobile phone aiming entirely at the MP3 player lovers! Extremely small, 1GB internal memory and a jog dial are just a few features on the Samsung X830. An additional and very special characteristic of the Samsung SGH-X830 is the arrangement of the buttons; however, I will come to tell you that later.

 

Samsung X830 - Design

The Samsung X830 mini music phone comes with an innovative MP3 player design. The unique swing-open form factor allows for a good combination of mobile phone and MP3 player function. When closed, the Samsung X830 functions like a MP3 player with a music player interface that horizontally displays the playlist, equalizer settings and song information. Swinging the phone open exposes the keypad and doubles its length for optimal mobile communication experience.

 

Samsung X830 - Camera

The Samsung X830 is equipped with a 1.3 Megapixel digital camera. The camera's performance is reasonably okay. It is not the best camera in the world but certainly not the worst either. The colour reproduction is bright and lively. There is a small mirror on the back that lets you take self-portraits. It's a matter of trying to find the easiest way of holding the camera when taking pictures. Your fingers might cover the small lens all to easily, or just holding it with your finger tips makes the camera move and create blurred pictures for your grip is not too steady. You can also use the camera to record videos. A flash light however is lacking on the Samsung X830, which is a pity.

 

Samsung SGH-X830 review

Slim and narrow in size, the SGH-X830 mobile phone measures an compressed 84 x 30 x 19.9mm and weighs in at a mere 75 grams for light mobility. This mini MP3 phone's portability and compactness does not compromise the ease of use for its various multimedia functions.
