Samsung Beam I8520 Review
Score: 44.1 / 100Samsung Beam I8520 is a mid-to-low level Android cellphone, packing a 3.7-inches display, an 8 MP back side camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera.
This cellphone is quite heavy comparing with today standards, weighting 5.47 oz. The Samsung Beam I8520 is a little bit thick for nowadays standards, with a thickness of 0.59".
Samsung equipped this phone with a interesting 3.7" display, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels in the display. Its display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, but it doesn't allow multi-touch gestures.
This cellphone has WiFi connection (but it can't provide it to other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card to use GSM services.
The Samsung Beam I8520 has two cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera. This cellphone also features flash and auto-focus.
The Samsung Beam I8520 packs a good 1800 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is not really enough for a demanding phone like this. Samsung afirms this cellphone has a 630 hs stand by time and a 14.2 hours talk time.
This cellphone also includes a handful of nice characteristics like Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and Accelerometer.
