Samsung Brightside Review
(SCH-U380) Score: 39.6 / 100
Samsung Brightside is an outdated cellphone released back in the year 2012, which counts with a 3.1" touch-screen and a 3.2 MP back-facing camera.
This cellphone is a little thick for nowadays standards, with a thickness of 0.56 inches. This cellphone isn't really a compact phone, considering it is 4.37 inches long,but it only holds a 3.1 inches screen. It seems like Samsung forgot about optimizing the weight in this 4.3 ounces device.
This phone comes with a 262,14 MB internal memory, a poor quantity that could be adequate for some users having that it also has an external memory card slot to store songs, pictures and videos.
This cellphone only has a 3.2 MP back side camera.
Samsung equipped this device with a low level 3.1 inches display, and a 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution, making everything look worse than it really is. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, but it's not multi-touch.
The Samsung Brightside doesn't use a sim card, because it doesn't work with GSM connections and it works with CDMA carriers.
The Samsung Brightside also features a couple of useful features as Bluetooth and GPS Navigation, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor and Proximity Sensor.
This device features a 1000 mAh low capacity Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for some hours, although you will find yourself looking for a place to charge it if you use it heavily. According to Samsung, this cellphone has an aproximate stand by time of 350 hs and a talk time of 6.5 hours.
This phone costs about $ 80, which is not a really offer for this type of phone.
