Samsung Juke

The Samsung Juke

This technical Samsung Juke review is based on a computer analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it is in no way a hands-on review. It takes an in-depth look at its good and not-as-good features so that you make a well-informed decision.

The Good:

  1. Weight: The Samsung Juke has a smaller than average weight, which is usually perceived as a plus. (score: 12/20)
  2. Stand-by Time: 250 hours of stand-by time. It is way above average! (score: 20/20)
  3. Phone Book: It can store up to 500 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
  4. Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which will prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
  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. Camera: The VGA built-in camera is basic. Useful, but you won't make artwork with it. (score: 3/10)

Overall Score: 84

** Because manufacturers do not always list technical specifications in full, some information may be missing. For that reason, the script that generates these technical reviews may produce absurd results. Shall that happen, send me an email to let me know.
