The economy seems to show no signs of picking up so people are trying to live as frugally as they can and reserve any extra cash for only the most necessary items. Mobile phones are considered a necessity but when you’re in a crunch, it can be difficult to find a device that will suitably fill your needs. The good news is that there is such a phone in the form of the Samsung S5600, which was recently introduced along with its sibling, the Samsung Tocco Lite.
The great thing about the S5600 is that it packs a lot of premium features in an affordably-priced compact phone. The Samsung S5600 has full 3G connectivity which allows for up to 7.2Mbps browsing speeds. Another premium feature is Samsung’s proprietary TouchWiz interface that allows S5600 users to make use of widgets to customise the homescreen. The widgets are accessible through the side navigation bar and you simply drag a widget from the bar onto the screen. Imaging features are also top-notch. The phone is equipped with a 3 megapixel camera that comes with an LED flash, auto-focus and smile detection technology. Additionally, the camera has image stabilisers so that you still get a clear picture even if your hand shakes. The camera can also record videos at up to 15 frames per second. Geo-tagging is also possible as the S5600 is equipped with a GPS and provides support for A-GPS.
The music player is also impressive. It can filter tracks by artist, album, genre and composer. You have the choice of creating personalised playlists or let the phone automatically generate one from frequently played songs.
Samsung designed the look of this phone simply with its display and shape reminiscent of the HTC Touch. But this simplicity actually adds to the appeal of the phone. The release schedule of the phone is this May and pricing will probably be at less than £200.
