The Samsung E400

This technical Samsung E400 review is computer-generated with this phone's specifications, it is in no way a hands-on review. It takes a close look at its pros and cons to help you make a well-informed decision.

The Good:

  1. Weight: The Samsung E400 has a smaller than average weight, which is usually perceived as a plus. (score: 12/20)
  2. Technology: The Samsung E400 is compatible with global GSM frequencies which is convenient for overseas travelers. (Note that additional roaming charges from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
  3. Talk Time: 300 minutes of talk time. It is way above average! (score: 20/20)
  4. Phone Book: It can store up to 500 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
  5. Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which can prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
  6. 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 Not-So-Good:

  1. Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 90 hours. Not quite sufficient for most users, in my opinion. (score: 4/20)

Overall Score: 80
