racing to rescue

The Samsung Ch@t B3410W is designed to be stylish yet fully versatile. Since this mobile phone is aimed at mobile handset users at the middle ranges, its look and design has to be a big consideration as consumers in general tend to place a phone’s attractiveness high on their priority list. However, the handsome Samsung Ch@t B3410W goes beyond mere attractiveness.

Beauty Plus Functionality

The Samsung Ch@t is designed in black and the whole front panel is the touchscreen display. The phone’s speaker is located above the touchscreen while the Samsung logo is at the bottom. Below the logo are the three major function keys – the call key, the end key, and the menu key.

When the front panel is slid sideways to the right, it exposes the QWERTY keyboard. The keypads are spaced comfortably apart from each other which makes typing a lot easier for the user. The touch function is excellent as the device’s TFT touchscreen is powered by TouchWiz UI 2.0.

The display runs on a 240 x 320 pixels resolution and offers a dazzling 256,000 colours. The phone’s total dimension measures 103 x 52.5 x 16.2 mm and weighs in at 113.7 grams. This measurements make the Samsung Ch@t slim and light enough to carry.

Thanks for the Memory

The Samsung Ch@t B3410W is designed with the user’s memory requirement in mind. The phone comes with various high-end application and functions that demand adequate memory support. If the memory falls short of the demand, then the applications may not function as expected. Users not only need more memory for speed but for larger storage space as well.

The Samsung Ch@t comes with an internal memory of 1 GB to 2 GB which can store up to 1000 phonebook names as well as back up a huge registry of dialed, received and missed calls. Since the phone’s internal memory can’t adequately handle all these user requirements, the Samsung Ch@t is equipped with a memory expansion slot.

By inserting a microSD (TransFlash) card into the memory expansion slot, the user can increase the memory capacity of the mobile phone up to 16 GB. It’s almost like having a computer hard disk in your handset.

Audio/Video Performance

Most users require a reliable camera integrated with their handsets which will allow them to take photos or shoot videos to share with their friends and family on their social networks. Besides, it’s quite handy to have a camera built-in than having to lug another one separately whenever they have to take pictures.

This is where the Samsung Ch@t need to take a step back as it only carries a 2 MP camera with a low 1600 x 1200 pixels resolution. Although it has autofocus functions, the phone deserves to have a better camera. Video recording also comes with a disappointing 12 fps on QVGA.

The phone is equipped with an audio/video player and stereo FM radio. It can also download games and do Google searches. Overall, the Samsung Ch@t B3410W is a respectable phone with a lot of functionality which will have its launch in the middle of this year.
