The Samsung D410

This technical Samsung D410 review is based on an algorithm that takes a close look at a phone's specifications, it is in no way an actual hands-on review. It identifies its good and not-so-good sides to help you make a sound decision.

The Good:

  1. Technology: The Samsung D410 is compatible with global frequencies of the GSM standard which is convenient for overseas travelers. (Note that additional roaming fees from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
  2. Talk Time: 240 minutes of talk time. It is above average! (score: 16/20)
  3. Phone Book: It can store up to 1000 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
  4. Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)

The Average:

  1. Weight: The Samsung D410 weighs 4.09 oz , which is very average. (score: 8/20)
  2. Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 160 hours. It is about average. (score: 12/20)

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Speakerphone: It does not appear to sport a speakerphone, which would be useful in some situations. (Find phones with a speakerphone) (score: 0/10)
  2. Camera: The VGA built-in camera is minimal. Useful, but you won't win photography contests with it. (score: 3/10)

Overall Score: 73
