Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 Featuring ICS with Qwerty Keypad

Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 Mobile Review

Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 Mobile is the latest touch & type android smartphone introduced by Samsung to serve both Pro QWERTY phone and touch screen phone admirers. It is not the first time Samsung is coming with this viable concept of touch and type, but to give tough competition to Nokia against its touch and type ‘Asha’ Series, Samsung has something strong enough to contend.

Design

Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 Mobile is a neat construction with around two third of the construction dedicated to the display and the other one third to QWERTY keypad. The keyboard cannot be called well-spaced but it is comfortable enough to carry typing maneuvers easily.

The phone sports 3inch screen which comes with capacitive touch support. The screen delivers decent display with the screen resolution of 240 x 380 pixels. Be it playing games on your phone or enjoying video playback, the phone gives dynamic visual display on its screen.

There are three physical buttons instilled just below the screen for functions including Home, Back and Options. Just below that you can see mini keyboard which displays all useful keys which are needed for your texting.

Camera

Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 smartphone is incorporated with 2 megapixel camera which accompanies Auto Focus allowing sharp and clear images even for moving subjects. The camera also allows you to label your friends in the images based on the geographical locations through its Geo Tagging feature.

There’s no secondary camera in the phone for allowing video calling but for capturing live moments in the form of video, you can use the rear camera for footage capturing.

Multimedia

Samsung Galaxy Chat android phone supports audio playback of MP3, WAV and eAAC+ audio formats. A big disappointment to all the Radio lovers is that there’s no Radio included in the phone.

For all those who love watching videos, you can download MP4, WMV and H.264 video formats in your mobile and enjoy watching hours of video playback while you off to a long journey.

Memory

The phone comes packed with 4GB internal memory which lets you save all your music, movies and image files. For expanding, at any point of time you can put in an external memory card to expand it up to 32GB.

Connectivity

With Samsung Galaxy, you can connect to internet easily to get in touch with your social circles. The phone can make wireless internet connection through Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n interface or through Wi-Fi Hotspot. The phone is also GPRSand EDGE supported.

For enjoying the power of wireless data transfer, you can make connection through Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP or can make connection directly through PC via USB v2.0.
