 Samsung E720 is announced in 2005
Design
Samsung E720 handset is a distinctive-looking clamshell. Measures 91 x 45 x 23 mm in size and weighing 90 grams, it is light and feels very slender despite its size.A secound 64 x 96 pixel, 4096 CSTN display dominates the front cover, and although not the clearest external display we've seen it is still quite functional.The incredible 262,144 colors display is so bright and colorful, and provide more real colors of pictures and 3D images.The display resolution 176 x 220 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Samsung handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The E720 lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Samsung handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the E720 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, 64-channels polyphony, FAX/Modem, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the E720 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 80 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the Samsung E720.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the E720, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
Performance
Audio quality on the E720 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 180 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Samsung E720 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Samsung's E720 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Samsung. A new compact design and a reduced sized battery - which avoids rendering a negative impact on battery life - ensures a thin and light phone which is ergonomically comfortable. |
