CNET Asia Review

Excellent

8

out of 10

View score

The good: Classy design with solid build quality; excellent keypad; decent set of camera features; 3G with HSDPA; Bluetooth with A2DP; FM radio; microSD expansion card slot.

The bad: Uses LED instead of Xenon flash; screen legibility suffers under direct sunlight; character limit in subject field when creating calendar appointments; below average battery life; sluggish picture browsing on the phone.

The bottom line: The Samsung Soul doesn't do everything; there's no Wi-Fi or GPS for starters. But for everything else, there's plenty enough to enjoy.

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Very nice design.Lots of ways to customize the phone.Perfect keypad.
Cons: Weak battery life.Some dumb wallpaper and tunes can't be deleted therefore taking lots of memory.
Opinion:
For people who are attentive and has firm fingers.The phone requires that ,if not ,you end up pressing the wrong buttons that might make the phone spoil.Fortunely ,i am not one of them and can control the phone without problems.

 

Not bad and very still not there yet..

Pros: Good looking / Special control / solid build
Cons: Size / Sound Quality / WIFI / GPS / Battry
Opinion:
Pros:
The only good about Samsung they like to do good looking phone that is nice to carry but in it there are lots of things lack in the phone.

Cons:
Phone are big as i could see that they could put it to a good use example: putting in WIFI and GPS. That are some few things in the market which people looking for.

Speaker had a good brand name on it but some other phone had louder and batter qulity sound comming out of it. So what it is there for ???

Battry plays a major role and plese make them to last as its not wise to charge the phone 2 times a day.

Overall

I wont't buy it and maybe wait for the next one. Hope there is some improvement. The winning part of this phone are the looks. Its fair that 6 is good for this phone.

Pros: special control keypad and display (UI)
Cons: size is a bit too big
Opinion:
The soul has all the necessary features I need and I really appreciate how the UI has been designed (it's really cool). The only downside is the size of the device and it weighs a bit.
