Samsung Chrono Review

(SCH-R260, SCH-R261, SCH-R261A)     See other variants reviews Score: 36.1 / 100

Samsung Chrono is an outdated cellphone, which features a 0.3 mega-pixels back camera and a small 2-inches screen.

Collaborating with graphic calculations, it also uses an ARM Mali-400 MP1 graphics processing unit speeding at 320 MHz.

The Samsung Chrono feels a bit heavy comparing to other devices , with a weight of 3.14 oz. This device is a little thick compared to current devices, being as thick as 0.67". Whereas this cellphone is 3.7" long, it only comes with a way smaller 2 inches screen.

Samsung designed this phone with a good 2" display, and a resolution of 320 x 240 (QVGA), providing this cellphone with a nice graphical experience.

This cellphone doesn't use a sim card, because it is not a GSM phone and it can work with CDMA networks.

The Samsung Chrono only has a 0.3 megapixels back side camera.

This phone comes with a mediocre 800 mAh Li-Ion battery that can keep this device running for some hours, but you may need to charge it even after moderate usage. Samsung says this device has a stand by time of 526 hs and a talk time of 5 hs.

This phone is being sold for 80 dollars, which is a high price for a device this level.
