Samsung S3650 Corby Review

The company has expanded its range of phones with the modest model named Samsung Corby, which ratio of price and abilities may surprise you.

Design
In order to make it clear that such a colorful unit with touch screen is shown in pictures we need only to recall the main target audience of this kind of phone models. Of course, this is for young people, sometimes the most isolated and untamed. Now let’s see what phone Koreans prepared for the public. Thus we have: a small shell with dimensions 103×56, 5 x12, 5 mm which will not fit into pockets of business suits and shirts. It weighs only 920 grams.

Screen

Here we have a telephone with touch screen, so from the first seconds of getting acquainted, we see the screen. Only after this we notice branded grille on top, as well as easy to use phone keys at the bottom.
But let’s go back to the screen, which is protected with capacitive touch glass. Here is a 2.8-inch TFT-matrix with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels (260 thousand colors). Taking into account the quality of displayed images they are rather good comparing with phones which are more expensive. Besides under the sun the screen acts quite well, providing the ability to easily read text or dial a phone number.

Battery

Removing the back cover you can see 960 mAh battery, which is enough for three days – 20 minutes of conversation, hours of listening to your favorite music with headphones, and hours of using various recreational facilities, among which it is worth pointing out watching video.
But let’s go back to the exterior, because here it is important not to forget about a comfortable place of SIM-card and slot of microSD-card, which can reach at least 32 GB.

Communications abilities

Here we should mention the possibility of communication with PC, where are several variations of connect with the presence of the actual profile data on the memory card. It’s nice that in this case writing speed reaches up to 1,5 MB per second, so that the memory card can be retrieved only in emergency situations (for example, full memory).
Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and A2DP support together with other profiles is also present. With headsets and wireless headphones Corby works just as well, but not better than other phones. Speed of receiving/transferring data to another device is about 130 Kbps. You can find a compatible device using the convenient search tool that displays the process much clearly.

Programs and games

Describing the standard content of phones, we can say without looking at it about the presence of a standard set of multiple applications and demos of games, after a short game that will either send for 300 rubles, or restart the game. By the way about restarting – here it isn’t not useless to note multitasking for multiple applications (up to three maximum).
This part of application also contains different utilities – cards, a collection of links to social services, as well as a standard set of organizer.

Music
Player catches the eye by a simple and convenient separation of all the tracks on various criteria, among which are viewing album covers. After selecting interesting songs comes a window during playback with large comfortable buttons on the screen and active line of progress.
Fans of all sorts of settings and customizations will clearly appreciate the ability to install the rating change repeat modes and random play, and at the same time adjusting the equalizer. But this is not Samsung M7600 Beat DJ; so that you can not manually control equalizer. Although, without setting sound is rather good, with a small reserve volume and coherent study of middle frequencies. Of course, it sounds much worse than any player, but the most undemanding audience may seem quite a good help. If you get tired of its own music, then there is a FM-receiver with a good quality signal reception in the frequency range from 87.5 to 108 MHz.

Camera

The camera has a rather utilitarian role, although the 2-megapixel resolution of matrix caused a genuine interest a couple of years ago.
However, there is no flash and autofocus so you can not count on S3650. At least the interface to work with the camera is not subjected to rigorous simplifications, leaving at our attention full-screen viewfinder, labels of all modes as well as quite rich content of settings.
We have nothing to say specifically about the images, because on the phone screen, they look better, than on the monitor of PC.

Conclusion

Compact bright and cheap touch phone from Samsung Corby is not so simple as it may seem when you look at the price. Of course, we do not take into account beginning with the start of sales from 7 thousand rubles, but by December the model will show off at the shop windows at 6000 rubles. This will be very interesting offer, but having the desire and the additional funds you would better buy another touch phone. Well, it’s a matter of taste.
