Samsung X510 review

Network and connections

Samsung SGH-X510 is a Tri-Band GSM cellular phone that can operate on the 900, 1800 and 1900 Mhz frequencies. It guarantees safe and reliable data transfer thanks to the EDGE connection, which adds to the GPRS one. Infrared IrDA technology is certainly less effective than Bluetooth for wireless connections, while the USB cable allows direct synchronization with a PC. Good display and battery.

Design and features

This is a clamshell model with a design that is both sober and elegant at the same time. It is available in black bordered with gray. Samsung SGH-X510 is a compact and lightweight device, with an integrated antenna. The keyboard is practical and comfortable, as is the central navigation control.

Main features

Multiple functions can be used. The hands-free function is very useful, especially for phone calls in the car. The "multiconference" call, on the other hand, is used to talk with several users at the same time. The messaging functions include the management of Sms, Ems, Mms and E-Mail, plus the T9 quick writing system. The device also includes useful clock, agenda, alarm and calculator functions. The internal memory is distributed as follows: 1 MB for images, 600 KB for ringtones, 100 KB for voice memory, 700 KB for Mms management, 512 KB for Java support. In this model there is no possibility of memory expansion.

Entertainment and multimedia

This product includes several ringtones, both monophonic and polyphonic. The phone also includes various interactive games, thanks to Java (J2ME) support, and it is possible to get new ones by downloading them via the built-in WAP browser. Samsung SGH-X510 has a VGA-type camera, capable of reaching a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The photos that can be obtained are not of great quality, except for recreational purposes. However, the digital zoom, self-timer, contrast and brightness adjustment functions, and the image editor function are all easy to use.
