Samsung Z150 review

Network and connections

It also features several types of connections, including wireless Bluetooth, or via USB cable, to connect the phone to another one or to a computer. Finally, battery life is good and the display is sharp.

Design and features

The feature that stands out most, regarding its design, is its extreme thinness, since this model measures only 9.8 mm in depth. The central four-way key is used for navigating through the menus. The antenna, finally, is built-in and therefore does not affect the handling of the device, which is marketed in a black color.

There are also various more or less common functions such as the alarm clock, clock, calendar, stopwatch, countdown timer, currency converter and notepad.
