Samsung B5722 review
Welcoming the Samsung B5722! Different service providers of the mobile phones are offering different offers on tariffs and discounts. If one offer of a particular provider matches your needs, then you have another essential offer that you require from a different provider. In such a situation, there are many mobile phone users who opt for two separate phones to enjoy facilities of two different service providers. Are you one of those users? If yes, you are surely enjoying the best of both offers, but at the same time you must be bugged up by handling two phones all the time. Technology has come with a solution for this problem also. Now, you have dual SIM feature on your mobile phone, which means in a single handset you can insert two separate SIMs to enjoy the tariffs and plans of two distinct providers. Samsung, one of the leading brands of mobile handset manufacturers have incorporated this technique in its new mobile phone – The Samsung B5722. This device is capable of inserting two SIM cards as it is loaded with dual-SIM functionality. Also, there are other popular dual SIM mobile phones available in the market like LG KS660. Apart from the dual SIM functionality, the Samsung B5722 will be coming with a 2.8-inch touch screen with a QVGA resolution, microSD™ card slot, FM radio and 3 . 2-Megapixel camera. This phone will hit the market by the end of this year and initially, it will be made available in the markets of Europe and the US.
Samsung B5722 – social networking
The Young generation is attracted into social networking and keeping that factor in mind, the Samsung B5722 is providing access to MySpace and Facebook™ to its users. Though it is a good inclusion, but there is a doubt regarding good performance of the feature. There is no 3G or Wi Fi in the handset like another latest device from the same manufacturer- samsung-m3310. The no-3G and no-Wi Fi aspect of the phone makes it not that efficient in terms of high speed internet access. There is a good advantage of excluding such features as the price will be economical and it can be aimed at a wide group of customers.
Samsung B5722 – network and connectivity
As mentioned above, there is no 3G in the Samsung B5722, and it runs on the 2G quad band GSM network. For the first SIM, the network is GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 and for the second SIM, the network is GSM 900 / 1800. The mobile phone is enabled with GPRS access that can function with the speed of 32 to 48 kbps. Class 10 EDGE and HSCSD also facilitates the device, whereas USB and Bluetooth® are provided for with-wire and wireless data transfer respectively.
Samsung B5722 – the look
In terms of look, the Samsung B5722 is quite attractive. The colour of the phone is black and the major portion of the frontal part is dominated by the 2.8 inches touch screen interface. The touch screen is TFT resistive and it displays 265,000 colours with 240 x 320 pixels resolution. Right at the bottom of the screen, there are three major buttons- the call key, end key and menu button. Above the touch screen, the logo of Samsung is displayed. The overall dimension of the phone is 104 x 54.9 x 14.4 mm and its weight is not known yet. There are already many dual SIM mobile phones available in the market, but the combination of dual Sim with big touch screen is definitely going run in its favour.
Samsung B5722 – the memory
Nowadays, the applications of the mobile phones are becoming complex and there are some features that take quite a lot of memory space. If the memory is not sufficient, then many features cannot be utilized. For example, if you want to load songs in your handset and don’t have sufficient memory, then you can just load few files as the device will run out of memory. The same thing can happen while loading video files or gaming applications. Therefore, solid memory back up is essential to enjoy the features of the mobile phone properly. Samsung understands this requirement very well and that is its latest handset B5722 comes with an expandable memory feature that can increase the memory up to 8 GB by using microSD™ (TransFlash) card.
Samsung B5722 – the music and video
Young generation loves to listen to music anytime and to serve this mobile demand the handset manufacturers are introducing the mobile phones with good music features. Many people do not like to spend separately on a dedicated music device and that is why they prefer having good music options in their mobile phone itself. Samsung B5722 also includes good music features, and it comes with a built in music player. The music is compatible with different music files such as WMA, MP3 and eAAC+. Like the music player, the mobile handset is also capable of playing diverse video files such as H.263, H.264, MP4 and WMV. So, the entertainment feature of Samsung B5722 is quite solid.
Samsung B5722 – the camera
The entertainment feature of a mobile phone is not complete if the handset does not support the camera option. Camera features are common even in the cheapest range of mobile phone these days and that is why it is expected that a touch screen handset from the house of a reputable mobile phone manufacturer, will definitely feature good camera option. The Samsung B5722 is loaded with 3.15 mega pixel camera that clicks good quality shots at the resolution of 2048x1536 pixels. Even if the condition of lights is not good, then also the snapper can take good quality pictures because it comes with LED flash option.
The Samsung B5722 is powered by standard battery, Li-Ion 1200 mAh, which gives good back up during talk time and stand by modes. Brand Samsung offers different mobile phones for different segments of consumers. On one hand, it comes with super expensive phone like the Samsung M7500 Emporio Armani and on the other hand it launches economical handset like B5722. Overall, this is a good example of budget mobile phone with a string of attractive features.
