Samsung M3310 Review – the sound

The mobile phone also comes with stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Therefore, you can enjoy music by connecting the phone with the speakers. The sound quality of the ring tones is also good enough, whether is polyphonic or MP3.

Samsung M3310 – the music

Samsung M3310 is a dedicated music phone like the Samsung M7600 Beat DJ and therefore, it may find a good place in the market. The demand of the music phones is quite high as people tend to switch on to the music mode anytime when they are free and when they want to relax. Another benefit of featuring good music features is that the users are not required to use two separate devices, one for calling and another for listening music. Let’s see whether Samsung M3310 can leave up to the expectation of the music lovers or not. The device comes with a built in MP3 player with host of music control features. Apart from the music player, FM radio with RDS is also featured in the handset.

Samsung M3310 Review – memory

Samsung M3310 is a music phone, but it would be of no use if the handset is not backed by sufficient memory. If your mobile phone don’t have a memory backup, then it is not possible to load good number of music files or any other applications. The sound quality is good, but there is a restriction with the number of files; it doesn’t quite make a sense. That is why Samsung M3310 provides the back up with solid memory tool. The built in memory of the handset is 40 mega bytes, which is quite impressive. Moreover, the memory option can be expanded up to 8 gigabytes by using the microSD™ (TransFlash) card slot.

Samsung M3310 – battery

Another basic, but vital aspect of mobile phones is the battery. If the handset is not powered by good quality battery, then it cannot last longer while playing music, videos, games or accessing other applications. If your phone is loaded with such features, then the battery backup is also needed to be good. The Samsung M3310 includes standard Li-Ion 960 mAh battery that is able to provide normal talk time up to 4 hours and 48 minutes and stand by time up to 330 hours.

Samsung M3310 Review – the camera

The camera feature is probably the most important aspect that the mobile users lookout while purchasing a new handset. No matter, if the handset is a dedicated music phone or gaming phone, quality of the camera is always important. People keep the mobile phones with them every time and having a camera in it allows them to capture everything that they want. Let’s see what Samsung M3310 brings in terms of the camera features. The snapper is a 3.2 mega pixel camera that can click images with the resolution of 2048x1536 pixels. Video recording can be done with QVGA @ 15fps. There is no secondary camera.
