Samsung Monte GT-S5620 Mobile Phone

The Samsung Monte is the first mobile escaped from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The S5620 has it all and is located mid-way through a basic telephone terminal and smartphones sophisticated. This new Samsung mobile is more talented than its predecessor, that lacks WiFi, GPS, and with a smaller screen. His new TouchWiz interface touch screen 2.5 promises even more convenient with widgets better organized and good customization options. What services can actually make this phone compared to models more sophisticated and more expensive?

Design

With its smooth lines that match the shape of the hand, the initial contact with the S5620 is pretty good. We feel that the Samsung designers have made an effort. The camera is very light, and capacitive screen (like that of the iPhone) is responding well.

On the front of the mobile, the power button which appears in the screen is particularly ugly. The bright material of Samsung Monte have a low-end appearance and tinsel, which does not help. A volume control (one button + and -) on the left edge, three buttons below the screen and then two more right to lock the mobile trigger the camera, that's how the orders are placed outside of those touchscreen. The button on the camera and mini camcorder is also so well placed that it tends to push it unwittingly at first. The design of Samsung Monte is much more sophisticated than its predecessor, but much less elegant.

The Samsung Monte keys are intelligently arranged and pleasant to handle. But it does not have any mechanical keyboard. You can write a message with the help of a virtual keyboard with ten keys, numbered 1 to 9. However you will not find QWERTY keyboard in this mobile to go faster.

With the help of a 3.2 megapixel sensor, the photo function provides images with correct brightness setting that does not compensate, however, the lack of flash. The camcorder function allows, in turn, record videos in a setting of 320 x 240 pixels maximum. So it is rather a notebook video than anything else.

TouchWiz Interface 2.5

On the desktop, pages are numbered in the same way. Finally after lot of criticism, the sidebar "widgets" has been disappeared. Now you will find six widgets in a pane at the bottom. To view other widgets just swipe your finger. Once we realized that the middle button is used to back up in menus and directories, the TouchWiz Interface 2.5 is a childish manipulation. In reality, this interface is twofold since it is part of a three offices with separate screens on which the user will have its widgets (now displayed at the bottom of the screen rather than on the side as before) and other a more traditional set of menus across three pages.

As for functions, we can say that Samsung has put the package, since more than thirty
