Samsung Rugby Review

(SGH-A837) Score: 36.3 / 100

Samsung Rugby is a modest cellphone launched in September 2008, having a small 2" display and a 1.3 MP back camera.

The Samsung Rugby is a little thick for today's standards, with its 0.9" thickness. The Samsung Rugby isn't a very compact cellphone, taking into consideration it is 3.95" long and 2.05 inches wide,but it only holds a 2 inches display. Samsung forgot about weight optimization in this 4.66 oz cellphone, way heavier than other similar devices.

This cellphone has a interesting 220 x 176 2 inches display, which makes everything look quite good.

The Samsung Rugby comes with a 131,07 MB internal storage memory, a mediocre amount that may be enough for basic users knowing that it also has an SD extension slot to store photos and videos and even some applications that allow external memory installation.

This device only features a 1.3 megapixels back side camera.

The Samsung Rugby packs a 1000 mAh small capacity Li-Ion battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will probably need to charge it if you use it heavily. This phone has an estimated talk time of 5 hs and a stand by time of 250 hours according to Samsung.

The Samsung Rugby offers fast 3G connection type, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM connection.

The Samsung Rugby is very overpriced considering it is offerred for 230 dollars, while some similar cellphones cost a lot less than that.
