For touch screen lovers, here’s an extremely affordable handset for you. Samsung has created quite a stir in the market by launching its high-end smartphones and medium range phones like the Samsung Galaxy. But still, they were out of the reach of the mass mobile market segment. The lower budget range (Rs.2k to 4k) accounts for about 70% of the volume sales. So, Samsung felt a need to tap into this market with a bang. And they have done it by introducing Samsung Champ C3300.
The handset is nice – both on parameters of physical appearance and performance. The display is a 2.4 inch TFT resistive touch screen (240x329 pixels). The physical dimensions of the phone are 96.3mm (height), 53.8mm (width) and 13mm (depth). So, the handset is sleek. Talk time is 12 hours and standby time is 666 hours. This translates to plugging the phone into the charger less often. The phone scores well on another important parameter-weight. It’s lightweight, at 80g it won’t seem like you are carrying something in your pocket. The internal memory of the phone is 30 MB and the external memory is expandable to 8 GB.
The Samsung Champ C3300 handset is available in some cool colours viz. Black, Espresso brown, Sweet pink and Chic White. The audio performance of the phone is excellent. It has built in stereo speakers with a 3.5mm audio jack. The camera is satisfactory, but it could have been better. At 1.3 megapixel, you might not get the quality of a digital camera but still, it’s satisfactory for capturing special moments on the fly. Bluetooth, USB, organiser, calendar, alarm clock are some other regular features included in the handset.
The connectivity part is also good. You might browse your chosen websites effortlessly with this handset. And the screen is sizeable, so internet surfing becomes enjoyable. Looking at the data on a larger screen is always more pleasing than having to look at it through a miniature sized screen which usually translates to a frustrating experience.
Perhaps, the best part about this Samsung Champ C3300 is the price factor. The phone is priced at around Rs. 3900 in the Indian market. This is quite a steal for a touch screen phone. Customers can now enjoy the luxury of tapping on the touch screen for operating their phone without having to press the keys provided on the keypad for handsets. Touch screen translates to faster operating of the handset and a better experience. Doing everything with a touch is in itself a good experience.
And what’s more, Valentine’s Day is just a week away. If you are planning to gift a handset to your beloved, check this one out. Whether you buy the phone for yourself or as a gift, the phone would surely please you. More on Samsung Mobiles
