Samsung J800 Luxe review

Network and connections
A good quality/price compromise offered by Samsung, the J800 Luxe is suitable for satisfying every type of user. The network receiver is a GSM Triband, able to guarantee optimal coverage in any area of the world, also thanks to UMTS support. Internet browsing is fast, with a GPRS modem for packet data traffic. The dedicated WAP/HTML browser will open every page of the web without problems. To exchange files with other compatible devices, Bluetooth is used instead. Or the USB 2.0 data cable to sync directly with a PC.

Design and features
The compact vertical Slider structure encloses everything in a sturdy body that's practical to handle. The rounded edges offer an ergonomic grip, to hold the device comfortably in one palm. The dimensions are indeed compact, with a thickness of 15 mm and a weight of only 99 grams. The front part houses the large screen, a 2.2-inch TFT with display of up to 256,000 colors. A multifunction key also helps with menu use, along with dedicated keys. The sales package includes earphones and a data cable.

Main features
The proprietary platform is designed to offer advanced features to the user, while maintaining ease of management and customization. But that's not all, because Java support allows the installation of compatible software for expansion. Support for Office documents allows you to handle E-mail attachments without problems. These can be composed quickly, thanks to the simplified writing that helps a lot with message texts. There is also a reader for RSS Feeds, so you can always stay updated on the latest news. The purely phone-related aspect is also no less impressive, with good quality hands-free, voice recorder, and multiconference support. In addition, the dedicated camera allows you to make video calls.

Entertainment and multimedia
To complete the technological offer of this J800 Luxe, Samsung's designers have equipped the device with a 2 megapixel camera. It is really handy for taking quality photographs whenever needed, also thanks to Flash, Zoom and other dedicated functions. You can also record short videos, to be saved on the 18 MB internal memory, further expandable with microSD cards. The multimedia player, on the other hand, allows you to play your favorite audio and video files. The AM/FM antenna then allows you to receive your favorite radio broadcasts in any area.
