Samsung B2700 Review
Performance:
When we talk about rugged phones, every additional feature is warmly welcomed. Still, the importance of making and receiving calls plays a major part. The performance of the B2700 in this respect turned out to be a bit above average. On our end of the line the voices sounded real but also a bit quiet, which means that you may experience some difficulties when you’re in a noisy environment. On the other end the situation was different: the voices were loud enough, but also sharp and unclear.
The manufacturer has supplied the device with quite a powerful 1300mAh battery, but strangely it is said to last just the average 5 hours – not super result for a rugged phone.
Conclusion:
In the end, the Samsung B2700 seems lika a good and fair solution for the average user. Moreover, it has better chances to survive with the careless users compared to a standard phone. During our tests, we “accidentally” managed to drop the phone a few times and it stayed completely functional. This, combined with its pretty decent multimedia skills makes for a device that’s worth its price. It also allows for viewing office documents, operating with e-mail, video conversations and an acceptable internet experience, which contributes to its overall performance.
