The Samsung x430

The following technical Samsung x430 review is based on a computer algorithm, it doesn't constitute a live hands-on review. It lists its best and weakest sides to help you make a sound decision.

The Good:

  1. Weight: The Samsung x430 has a smaller than average weight, which is usually perceived as an advantadge. (score: 12/20)
  2. Phone Book: It can store up to 500 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
  3. 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: 180 minutes of talk time. This is just basic. (score: 8/20)
  2. Stand-by Time: 70 hours of stand-by time. Not quite sufficient for most users, in my opinion. (score: 4/20)
  3. Speakerphone: It doesn't appear to include a speakerphone, which would be useful in some situations. (Find phones with a speakerphone) (score: 0/10)

Overall Score: 51
