The Samsung e315

The following technical Samsung e315 review is based on an algorithm that takes a close look at a phone's specifications, it is not a hands-on review. It takes an in-depth look at its pros and cons so you can make a good decision.

The Good:

  1. Weight: The Samsung e315 has a smaller than average weight, which is usually perceived as a plus. (score: 12/20)
  2. Technology: The Samsung e315 is compatible with worldwide GSM frequencies which is convenient for overseas travelers. (Note that additional roaming fees from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
  3. Stand-by Time: 200 hours of stand-by time. It is good enough! (score: 16/20)
  4. Phone Book: It can store up to 2000 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
  5. 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. Talk Time: 210 minutes of talking time. It is about average. (score: 12/20)

The Not-So-Good:

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

Overall Score: 77
