Samsung A560 Review

Performance:

Battery Life: This phone is rated to be around 198 minutes talk time. After my testing I got around 160. Standby time I got around 2-3 days with minimal uses (alarm clock in the morning)

Reception: I was not impressed, nor was I depressed by the reception. It is about average I would say. I have had a few Sprint phones, and the bad areas for Sprint, are the bad areas for the A560

Call Quality: I could hear the caller very well on both ends. I tested this by having another person use the phone. When I had the phone, the caller sounded great. The volume of the headset was good as well.

Speakerphone: I did enjoy using the speakerphone. I could not use it going down the freeway with windows down, but it came in handy. On both ends, it sounded all right.

Conclusion:

The A560 would personally never satisfy my quench for a cell phone. Keep in mind that I do have a lot of experience with cell phones and demand only the best. The areas that the phone fell short in my review may have no interest for you whatsoever! It is a very simple phone, therefore, it is very easy to use. It is a great started phone for someone who is uncomfortable using cell phones.
