Samsung SGH-G600 Review

Performance:

The G600 is a very adequate phone and moving through the menus is almost instant. Keep in mind that if any animated transition is chosen, this will slower the things in order to visualize it. During the test period, the device didn't block or gave error even once.

Submitting the G600 to our standard reception test didn’t really please us. Although the result was rather average (4/10) the reception of the phone is very fragile, more than on other phones with such result. Even when the phone showed 4/5 signal strength the incoming speech began to cut and so, the quality decreased drastically, as it got harder to understand the words.

If the signal is strong, the incoming sound quality will be very good. The volume is high and the voices sound very realistically with only minor decreasing of the higher frequencies. The microphone of the phone is also good, delivering extra strong sound. Unfortunately, it is so sensitive that surrounding noises are heard clearly at the other side. Your voice will be very clear, but sounding sharp, without high-frequencies, which decreases how distinct it is.

We are very pleased with the battery of the phone. Although Samsung claims less than 3.5 hours of talk time, in reallity, the G600 scored 6 hours and 25 minutes, which is excellent result!


Conclusion:

The Samsung G600 is an excellent device that combines strong multimedia functionality with pretty design and pocket friendly dimensions. If you are looking for a 5-megapixel cameraphone you will surely know the Nokia N95 and Sony Ericsson K850 but both are significantly bigger than the G600 in every aspect. As it was in the past with the D900, the G600 manages to offer good imaging quality and features to dimensions and price ratio, which will definitely make it attractive to a large group of customers.
