Samsung Impression review
Network and connections
The quality of entry level phones keeps growing as time goes by, so even the least demanding user can count on cutting-edge technology. This Samsung Impression offers a Quadband GSM network receiver, which guarantees truly excellent coverage anywhere in the world, also thanks to UMTS support. The internal modem manages data traffic at speeds equal to home ADSL, through HSDPA. This way you can view HTML pages without any problem. Of course, Bluetooth and the USB 2.0 output are not missing either.

The look is neat and clean, with soft lines on the edges to ensure a better grip and greater handling. The dimensions are compact, ensuring good portability: 15 mm thick for a weight of 150 grams. The structure opens with a lateral Slider mechanism. This way, the extended QWERTY keyboard is revealed inside, extremely handy for writing text quickly. The front, on the other hand, houses the large display, a 3.2-inch AMOLED capable of displaying up to 256,000 colors. It is equipped with Capacitive Touch Screen technology, which allows quick management of content.
