Samsung Magnet Review
(SGH-A257) Score: 35.6 / 100Samsung Magnet is a quite basic cellphone released in 2009, packing a 2.2" screen and a 0.3 mega-pixels back side camera.
This cellphone isn't really a compact device, given that it is 4.29 inches long,but it just packs a 2.2" screen. This phone feels much lighter than what you would expect from a phone this size.
Samsung packed this phone with a low quality 2.2" display, and a resolution of 176 x 220 , making everything look worse than it really is.
This phone has a small 65,54 MB internal storage, which isn't adequate for the vast majority of users knowing that it doesn't ship with a slot for an SD memory card to store more games and apps, photographs, videos.
This phone only features a 0.3 mega-pixels back facing camera.
This phone packs a small 800 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that provides this cellphone a quite short battery life. According to Samsung, the Samsung Magnet has an estimated talk time of 5 hours and a stand by time of 240 hours.
This cellphone has 3G connectivity, supported by EDGE technologies. The Samsung Magnet uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.
Samsung is selling this phone for $ 60, which is a high price for comparing with similar cellphones.
