Over the months for people who have been following my blog would have noticed me using a term VALUE-FOR-MONEY (VFM), I am amazed how this term is getting evolved as the years go by and technology becomes affordable.
For the last few weeks, I’ve been able to play around with Samsung’s J150 , a mobile phone costing around Rs. 4,700/- (95$). In brief I will list out its pros and cons for you to decide whether this phone will suit you,
PROS
+ Nice screen measuring 1.9″ and with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels (256K TFT) is bright and crisp for a phone at this price range
+ Measuring at 111 x 45 x 9.9 mm, its slim and handy with a metal like finish.
+ Music quality was good with a micro SD card slot coupled with a FM radio & video player it can double as a portable multimedia player
+ Camera @ 1.3 Megapixel was quite good
+ Standard phone functions like Network reception, Call quality, Messaging like SMS / MMS, phonebook (1000 entries) are all upto mark, Battery life was also good
+ Connectvity like USB, Bluetooth and GPRS / EDGE makes the deal much more sweeter
+ The user interface was nice and easy to a extent to use with with some customization options available for the users.
CONS
- The music player can’t be minimized to the background so essentially no multi tasking
- Some audio files with more than 128 Kbps bit rate wasnt recognized
- I doubt whether installing java apps / games via PC is available usually samsung phones allows java stuff to be installed via wap
- Ringtones & wallpapers can be kept from the files stored in the phone memory which is very limited
- The phone’s keypad film has started peeling off within a month
If you have any comments on this phone / if you feel there are other phones in this range which are more worthy than this , please feel free to put your comments here
