Samsung Instinct Review

(SPH-M800) Score: 37.4 / 100

Samsung Instinct is a low end cellphone released many years ago, having a 2 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 3.1 inches display.

Samsung didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 4.4 ounces device. The Samsung Instinct is 4.57 inches long, but it is only able to hold a smaller 3.1" screen.

Samsung packed this cellphone with an average 3.1 inches display, and a 432 x 240 resolution, which makes everything look quite vivid. Its display uses TFT resistive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.

This cellphone counts with a 32,77 MB internal storage, a small quantity that may be enough for basic users having that it also has a slot for SD memory cards to store pictures and videos and even some applications that allow being installed in the external memory.

The Samsung Instinct features 3G data connection, over EV-DO A technologies. This phone doesn't have a sim card, because it isn't a GSM cellphone and it works in CDMA carriers.

This phone is equipped with only a 2 MP back-facing camera.

The Samsung Instinct comes with a 1000 mAh small capacity Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is not really enough for a consuming device like this.

Samsung is selling this cellphone for $ 80, which is a high price for comparing with similar cellphones.
