Samsung Gravity 3 Review – the look

Appearance is definitely one of the biggest advantages of this Samsung mobile phone. The device is available in various colours and the combination and the placement of those colours are just fantastic. For instance, the full black frontal part with blue border on the base and on the major functional keys of the QWERTY keyboard looks gorgeous. If the phone is not open it looks like a general candy-bar shaped mobile phone with the display screen and the numeric keypad. However, sliding the phone towards the right brings out the QWERTY keyboard and the design is attractive and comfortable as well. The type of display that Samsung T479 Gravity 3 maintains is TFT and it provides the resolution of 240 x 320 pixels along with 256,000 colours. On top of the display screen, you will notice the Samsung logo, while the logo of T-Mobile is visible just below the screen. The phone measures 116.8 x 53.6 x 15.2 mm and it weighs 123 grams. Therefore, the entire build-up of the device along with the weight is quite convenient. The users can easily handle the device without worrying about the bulk factor.

Samsung T479 Gravity 3 – social network integration

Social network has become one of the most vital aspects in day – to – day activities. The importance of social networking is evident in the field of business or for just communicating with friends and relatives.

Samsung T479 Gravity 3 Review – memory

So far, we have discussed that T479 Gravity 3 is loaded with several high-end features and applications. To support these apps and features, it is essential that the mobile phone gets the back-up of good storage capacity. The Samsung handset does not disappoint in terms of memory features. The storage capacity can be expanded up to 16 GB by using the microSD™ card. External memory microSD™ card is not provided to the users at the time of purchase, which means the users have to buy a memory card as per their storage requirement. The internal memory of the device is 70 MB, which is capable of storing records of 90 missed, dialed and received calls along with the entries of the phone book.

Samsung T479 Gravity 3 – the multimedia features

In all the four latest mobile phones (mentioned in the intro section) that were announced in June 2010, there is one common aspect – the camera feature. All these handsets come loaded with a 2 mega pixel camera. The 2 MP camera of T479 Gravity 3 boasts a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels and it is capable of recording video shots also. There is no secondary camera in the mobile phone for video calling. However, the 2 MP factor might seem to be too low for many users as there are several mobile phones in the market that includes 5 MP, 8 MP and even 12 MP snappers. It seems that Samsung has kept the mega pixel factor low to maintain the affordability of the handset.

Apart from the camera feature, other vital multimedia aspects include the music player and video playback. The music player can competently play MP3/ eAAC+/ WAV; while the video player is capable of playing MP4/ H.263/ H.264 files.

Overall, T479 Gravity 3 seems to be a decent product by Samsung that integrates all the essential facets needed by the mid-range of users.
