Samsung S7350 Ultra s Review - Widescreen slider

The Samsung S7350 Ultra s is a stylish and cool slide designed mobile phone and is the successor of the Samsung S7330. The differences between these two handsets are that the slider version has scrapped the touch-pad feature and has higher resolutions. The S7350 features a larger TFT 2.6 inch WQVGA screen with 16 million colours and screen resolutions of 240 x 400 pixels. This stylish mobile phone which shares some of its design with the S8300 Tocco Ultra and only measures 109mm x 50.5mm x 12.6mm in size enabling the user to operate the S7350 with ease and manageability. The majority of the stylish casing is made of matt plastic while the black outer frame has a kind of brushed metal effect. When the user slides the handset up to reveal the reveal the keypad the user will notice the rows of keys are well defined even though there are no borders between the keys in the same row. We feel this still makes for comfortable typing for the user. There are no functional elements on the back of the Samsung S7350 Ultra s handset making it look neat and very tidy. We feel we must mention that the Samsung S7350 is amongst the first Samsung mobile phones to feature flash based user interface. Having flash supported makes for a really fresh and rich UI.

Samsung S7350 Ultra s – Camera & Imaging

A 5 mega-pixel camera function is featured on the Samsung S7350 mobile phone that comes with a host of imaging features and settings. Users can enjoy auto-focus to ensure no blurred photo’s, dual-LED flash for taking pictures in dim light environments, face detection and geo-tagging which allows you to tag a GPS position to a photo to record the location of the pictures when taken. The maximum resolution of 2560 x 1920 pixels making for clear, colourful and quality snap shots. There is a great range of settings for the user to capture the best photo's possible which include colour effects like black and white, negative, or sepia, shooting mode, white balance and resolution settings. White balance can be changed from automatic to one of the options which will vary the brightness of the photos depending of the light conditions of where you are taking the photo, i.e. indoors or outdoors, or maybe sunny or cloudy.

The camcorder feature captures video up to 30 frames per second with WVGA resolutions of 720 x 480 pixels. A range of supported video playback modes are featured on the stylish S7350 mobile phone, along with a host of settings and abilities enabling the user to capture quality video images. Video can be played in MPEG4, H263, H264, WMV9 and DivX formats, basically covering all bases meaning you will not need to worry about compatibility. There is a second camera mainly intended to be used when using video calling.

Samsung S7350 Ultra s – Internet & Connectivity

Accessing the internet with speed and ease is a great asset to the user via the built-in WAP 2.0, HTML and XHTML web browsing technologies on the Samsung S7350 mobile phone. Having HTML and XHTML browser technologies supported means most website you may view on your PC will display correctly on this handset. Other supporting technologies that provide the user with wireless connections, speedy data transfers and and overall quality of service include GPRS – class 10, EDGE – class 10 and 3G HSDPA at 7.2mbps. Connecting to other compatible devices is a straightforward process via the Bluetooth version 2.1 with A2DP and the MicroUSB version 2.0 which are present with the S7350 mobile phone. The Samsung S7350 Ultra s operates on a 2G network which covers GSM – 850/900/1800/1900 and a 3G network which covers HSDPA – 900/2100 enabling the user to use their mobile phone whilst abroad via the roaming facility.

Samsung S7350 Ultra s – Features & Technologies

There is a built-in music player featured on the S7350 mobile phone with an FM Radio with RDS technology along with a range of other features to keep the user fully entertained. Users can add a ring-tone to their fashionable S7350 handset by choosing a tone from the selection of downloadable, polyphonic, MP3 and WAV ring-tones making their S7350 sound unique.

The usual messaging services are expected on the Samsung S7350 Ultra s mobile phone which include SMS, MMS (multi-media messaging) and Emailing, so no more excuses to not keep in close contact with friends and family. To help you write these messages predictive text is supported.

Other ways users can keep entertained and amused is by the playing the built-in Java MIDP 2.0 and Downloadable gaming facilities. When using the downloadable service please do check before doing so as there maybe a small cost involved for this particular service.

There are a great range of application tools available on the Samsung S7350 Ultra s enabling the user to stay organised and on time one of which includes a Document Viewer. One of the main applications we do like is the GPS receiver plus the Samsung Mobile Navigator application which is made by Route66. These tools ensures the user gets to their desired destination with minimal effort and with ease. As well as the standard clock, calendar, Phonebook etc there is also a document viewer. This is very handy when receiving emails with documents attached.

Samsung S7350 Ultra s review – Summary

The S7350 is a great mid range mobile phone with a great selection of features and functions thrown in plus with stylish good looks. Some would say that the S7350 not having Wi-Fi is no big deal, I would tend to disagree and think it should now be considered one of those functions that is just expected and a must we complying the specification of a new phone. We at mobilefonereviews.co.uk think this is an okay mid range phone and may prove to be fairly popular but just can’t get it out of our heads that there is NO WI-FI!.
