Samsung DoubleTime Review

(SGH-I857) Score: 49.8 / 100

Samsung DoubleTime is a decently made Android phone, including a 3.2 MP back-facing camera, a 3.2" touch-screen and a quite powerful 800 megahertz processor. But it's time to get into a bit more detail.

The Samsung DoubleTime is a bit thick compared to nowadays cellphones, with its 0.59" thickness. While the Samsung DoubleTime is 4.45 inches long and 2.44" wide, it only packs a way smaller 3.2 inches display. It appears that Samsung didn't care about the weight at all, putting together a 5.22 oz cellphone.

This cellphone has a good level 480 x 320 3.2" display, making everything look nice. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

Samsung sells this phone with a quite powerful 800 MHz processing unit with only 256 MB of RAM memory. This cellphone counts with a 266,24 MB internal storage, a small amount that might be adequate for some basic users knowing that it also has an external memory slot to store photos and videos.

This device provides Wi-Fi connection (and it can be provided to other devices around, acting as a modem) and fast 3G internet connection, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM connection.

This phone is only equipped with a 3.2 megapixels back side camera. It is capable of capturing videos up to 320x240 (QVGA) at 29 fps.

This cellphone also comes with a few nice features like Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS, and a couple sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

The Samsung DoubleTime uses a mediocre 1200 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that provides this cellphone a poor battery durationcompared to other cellphones. According to Samsung, this phone has an estimated talk time of 6 hs and a stand by time of 250 hours.

Samsung sells the Samsung DoubleTime for 70 dollars, which is not a good offer for a cellphone this level.
