Samsung Mantra Introduction

Samsung is the quality products manufacturer. This is one of the very regular models of Samsung. Samsung is much known for the sound quality and also the color and graphics quality. They are the best for the trendier products. Still, they can be definitely used for the modern mechanism and latest technological development.

Virgin mobile has tied up with the Samsung mobile and they are now making the phones with the inbuilt cards and also with some of the best offers for the users so, users need not go for different mobiles and different SIM cards. This is a good step taken by the Virgin Company to promote their cards. The dealing with Samsung makes a more sense as there are millions of Samsung fans in the world, who can probably go for the Virgin SIM card for the usage of Samsung device.

This is just the second introduction of this tie up. The first one was the Slash and this is the second edition, Mantra. Mantra has some of the very professional function and it has got one of the very nice sound qualities. There are some good features that make the sense of buying. The flip phone has some decent and dedicate features. There are some good controls and also some of the better key pads with a great space. The rates are quite cheaper and are quite attractive to the first time or infrequent users.

Deliberate Design

The cell is rocking with the smarter colour and also is the master piece with the mastery of contrasting. The front black with the grey rear is the sweetest combination. The look is not too jazzy and dashing but even with the plain design it has got all the stuff to make the phone more decent. There is a silver line on the front which is passing across the face, which gives a simple and stylish look. The material is not that solid and also the phone is somewhat delicate to handle in the crowd or in the heavy rush.

The dimension of phone is quite lighter and is 3.8 inches by 1.87 inches by 0.69 inch and 3.35 ounces. The phone is easier and smaller enough to keep in the pocket. It’s a plastic body phone and the plastic is somewhere bothering more like a cheap device.

Decent Display

The biggest drawback of the phone is the display of the phone. It’s less than an inch diagonal and comparatively smaller and the Vision is not perfect and stable. The smaller is not only the problem; also the picture quality is the problem. The resolution is quite low. It’s just 96×96 pixels which can be very smaller for the Samsung branded phones. Still, it has all the ability to show the date, time and battery life. There is also the facility for the display of caller ID. There is a viewfinder on the top of the cell which is the helpful feature for the camera lens.

There is a 2 inch display which shows and reveals all the data and menu of the mobile. There are as much as 65,000 colors available for the support of the display and also there are 160×128 pixels that control the picture quality and make the display beautiful. These pixels are not strong enough to make the display appealing. Even the graphics and color resolution is not that magnificent.

Elegant Exterior

There is a great exterior for the Mantra and the volume display is on the left spine. This is the left side domain and there is a camera shutter button on the right side. There is also a head phone jack for the plug pin. An adapter is always required for the charging as the jack is temporary.

Keypad Controls

There are simpler and user friendly keypads and controls. A square toggle with the OK button in the center is offering all the features to get merged at one place. Talk and End buttons are in the black color. The navigational array is flat and also is of the softer materials which make the keys easier to press. With these keys, one can quite easily make the text work and can write up whatever he wanted to. So, it’s not difficult for the writing job, but still is not that enjoyable also. The back light is quite bright.

Ample Contacts

The phone book is the asset of the mobile as there is the capacity of 500 contacts and also with one number, there are five contacts attached. The caller group facility as usual is available and you can also attach the personnel caller tune and also the video to the contacts. The polyphonic ring tones are also sweet to hear.

Other features

Other features include the vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging and speaker phone. Other regular features like calculator, alarm clock and the world clock are also available in the phone. Some of the latest features like Bluetooth, instant messaging, a voice memo recorder and voice commands are the modern features that are used in the phone.

Summary

Samsung name, nice Camera quality, Bluetooth and video recording are all the bonus points of the cell and the drawbacks are the display features and also the lower sound quality which sometimes can disturb the call quality also. But, with these rates, it’s a better deal to have this phone.
