The Samsung x200

The following technical Samsung x200 review is based on a computer algorithm, it is not a hands-on review. It outlines its strengths and weaknesses to help you make a sound decision.

The Good:

  1. Weight: It weights 2.71 ounces , which is extremely lightweight, which usually means a very small size too. People with large fingers may hate coping with a phone that is too small. (score: 16/20)
  2. Technology: The Samsung x200 works with worldwide frequencies of the GSM standard , a convenient feature for overseas travelers. (Roaming fees from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
  3. Stand-by Time: 300 hours of stand-by time. It is excellent! (score: 20/20)
  4. Phone Book: It can store up to 1000 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. Talk Time: A talk time of 180 minutes. I've seen better. (score: 8/20)

Overall Score: 88
