Samsung Monte

Samsung Monte is a phone which contains many features of different types. It has 3.2MP camera, 3-inch touchscreen, sound clarity, web accessibility and good connectivity options. However, this phone cannot be called a smart phone and it doesn’t have any feature which can create an impact in the market.

User Interface

User interface of Samsung Monte is not so good because you will face problems in using this phone. First of all, you will think that touchscreen of this phone is not good but after using it for some more time you will realize that touchscreen is fine but interface is not good. When you slide the screen for changing home screen you will notice that most of the times you will end up selecting any app as it will be launched instead of sliding the home screen to next page. Hence, you need to select the right place for changing the home screen and this is very frustrating after some days of use. Some apps are loaded in wrong place like you will find Google maps when you tap on Games. Sometimes, the phone slows down when you tap on any app to launch it and it causes confusion because you think that you have missed tapping on correct place. Interface of this phone is not very stylish too.

Camera and Image Quality

Camera of this phone is fine as it has 3.2MP camera which can be used for capturing images of fine quality. You can take images of good quality only when the light is sufficient because there is no Flash in this phone. As flash is not available in this phone you can’t take images in dim light because nothing will be fairly visible. But a front camera is available and this is a positive point for this phone. Front camera is used for video calling mainly as the camera is not very good for capturing normal images in good quality. Smile detection of rear camera is available but it is rarely used as it’s not much superior. 4X zoom are present but it is recommended that you don’t use it because it reduces the perfection of camera.

Calling and Contacts

Calling of this phone is good because you get good signal even in the places where some other mobiles lose signals. Sound clarity during the call is quite good but not the best obviously. When you switch to loudspeakers, voice clarity reduces but it is not a problem because it may happen due to background noise of the other party. When considering contacts of this phone it is not more than a simple system. When you tap on contacts, your contact list will appear which consists of names of people and their respective numbers. There is no option of connecting contacts with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Web accessibility

Web accessibility of this phone is fair and not much good. Dolphin browser is preloaded in this phone as TouchWiz always favors it. Searching anything in dolphin browser is simple and webpage loads fairly. There is no option of pinch zoom but you can get bigger view of the web pages by another way. You need to touch and hold the screen for some time until a magnifying glass appears for zooming it. Web accessibility of this phone is only satisfactory because you will not feel pleasure to spend time on web due to old system of accessing.

Memory Capability

Memory capability is good as per the features of this phone because this type of phone doesn’t needs much storage capacity as the user will not store tremendous number of files in this phone. It has internal memory of 200MB but you can insert an external microSD card up to 16GB as it is supported. A 16GB memory card for this phone is more than enough as one can hardly use the total space of memory card by storing files in this phone.

Battery

Battery of Samsung Monte is good as per its features. It has 1000mAh battery which allows talk time of 4 hours and standby of 450 hours. You can use this phone for long time without charging it. The main reason why it needs less charging is that it is not much superior phone. Owner of this phone doesn’t keeps on doing something all day in this phone because of its interface and minor errors. However, this favors the battery and performance of this phone.

Connectivity

Connectivity of Samsung Monte is fair as you get many options in this phone such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and USB. Although many options are present yet you will not be completely satisfied by using it because it lacks speed and excellence. Wi-Fi network drops down sometimes leaving you embarrassed and frustrated by it. Bluetooth 2.1 is fine as you can share files locally with other mobiles by connecting wirelessly. You can also share and manage files by connecting your phone to computer via USB port.

Gaming

You can play adequate number of games in your Samsung Monte as some games are preloaded in this phone and games are downloadable too. You can download games from different sources and install it for playing in your phone. Gaming experience is fine but not very impressive because of its small touchscreen as it has only 3 inch touchscreen. However, if you want games in your phone just for time pass then you will not mind playing them in your Samsung Monte.

Overall Rating

Samsung Monte should be rated 5 out of 10 because no feature is present in this phone which can create impact in the market. Though, features of this phone can satisfy the needs of the person who has been using entry level phones till date yet people who are familiar to smart phones will not afford it. This phone is for people who want every feature in his phone for cheap price.

Pros and Cons

When considering the positive points of this phone, design, battery and camera must be categorized. It has smart design which attracts many people to check out this phone. Battery performance is quite good as you need to charge after using your phone for many hours. Camera is a pros just because it as a secondary camera which is used for video calling. Cons of this phone are user interface, slow software, browser and poor social networking options. User interface of this phone is not much good as some options are very tricky. Software of this phone is slow as some apps take long time to launch. Web browser crashes frequently which reduces the interest of the user for web accessibility from this phone. As mentioned earlier, you cannot connect contacts to social networking sites.

Hence, this phone is for the people who have used entry level phones till now. This phone has many features but none of them are perfect and hence people who have used smart phones will get frustrated by it.
