Samsung Instinct Review

August 4, 2009 by

by Christien Stogner

Sprint Samsung Instinct S30 Mobile Phone - Cobalt Metal The iPhone might have dominated the area of smart phones a year ago, but with the introduction of the new Samsung Instinct, it is said that the iPhone has met some competition. The new Samsung Instinct is very much similar to the iPhone in terms of design but stands apart from it with unique touch screen interfaces. It is different from the iPhone because it has a visual voice mail, integrated GPS, email support, and 3G compatibility.

What Apple has missed out, Samsung has heeded with the inclusion of multimedia messaging, voice recording and voice dialing. But not everything nice can be said about the Samsung Instinct because its camera is not at part with the best. It did not even offer the basic editing features that most camera phones have. The browser of the Instinct is also slow and hard to comprehend.

The Instinct has all Samsung has in common and that is crisp text and vibrant display. Although having a smaller screen compared to iPhone, the quality of its display stayed the same. The phone’s user interface is easy and attractive.

Full GPS accessibility is what makes Samsung Instinct better than its counterparts. Plus all the other features like the presence of MP3 player and mobile TV; you will surely get what you pay for a Instinct. Even with this functionality, the phone can last up to six hours on a fully-charged battery. Nothing but great can be said about the call quality because the Instinct is first a phone before anything else.
