I know that has been judged licentious about this phone. And everything is represented ... of 'bah', to 'grand'! And what makes me really sad, are the negative assessments, where this phone with the iPhone, or other mobile phones will be compared in select price category. 1. This is not fair ... and 2. it twisted the facts just a little. One should not 'apples' compare 'pears'!
The Star is in my possession now for 1 month. And I admit >>> I do not want to miss. I had 2 other touchscreen phones (Cect + LG), with whom I was not so happy, however. The Samsung S5230 Star fulfills all that I expect of a touch screen in this price range.
It is very comfortable to hold. The size is, even for a man's hand, perfectly! Camera, lock and volume can be easily operated with one hand, because the controls are mounted on the left or right edge mobile. Even the functions on the display are, prima to make the '1-Hand-Mode'. From one function to the next; or up / down scroll ... an absolutely trouble-free handling. The display itself has a super clear and color-optimized resolution. The touch screen is very responsive and extremely accurately on every touch ... every touch command. On 3 different pages (widgets), functions can be chosen freely inserted. At just one touch / drag an icon, this function can be placed on one side, or be removed. Depending on what is needed.
The Bluetooth function is fast and reliable. Adding devices (headset, etc.) is incredibly easy. What I can not confirm, as noted in other reviews, the Internet function is to be very slow and sluggish. I made gegenteiligte experiences here, and am quite satisfied. Especially in this respect, since it is not a mobile upscale. Who from time to time 'googling' needs, shall consult his e-mails, or even want to quickly view a website will be well served with this mobile phone.
Convinced though it may not have stereo speakers, I was the multimedia function. For playback of songs as 'by the way', the built-in speakers is sufficient completely. A feast for the ears is, however, if you use a headset. Rich, full and clear sound experience brings one to rave about. Depending on your taste, you can EQ on his favorite sound (Rock, Pop, Klassic, etc.) set.
I do not want to say much about the built-in radio, because here (except for the antenna of course), can not be much wrong. It works perfectly. As with many other phones, only using the headset!
A real surprise is the battery time. After I had the power carrier, the 1 x fully charged, he held one week and 1 day ... despite extremely heavy use of mobile phones (had everything tested ;-)).
The second charge, under normal use, has the 'two-week barrier' reach loose. as I said! I have a mobile phone only one month. Maybe I also just lucky with this battery. Anyway, really surprisingly good!
Since I have children, pictures / photos are obviously not indispensable. And therefore I have the Star also 'required'! For the 3.2 MP there is no problem in color, and contrast excessively, making meaningful pictures. I myself am very impressed by the quality. Each viewer play sees this course different. Is just my view and opinion. A small drawback is simply the lack of flash. But who wants to make 'professional photos', a digicam should increase.
In the video area, I can express anything negative. For short 'Remembrance snapshots' simply brilliant!
A highlight for me is the fact that you can select a station directly Fotokontakte. Ie .: I have saved a picture of a person and their phone number, and this added to the function 'photo-contacts "... and call that person, Photo and data are combined automatically. The trick is ... by touching the pictures (in the Photo Contacts function), the number is dialed. Especially helpful for callers, often call the same people!
A note to statements, the Samsung S5230 Star is to act in the optics 'cheap', as we read in some reviews, unfortunately. My Star (black), has almost a piano black finish. And acts accordingly noble. Unfortunately I have not seen the gray version in the original and can therefore here above me no position to judge.
Even the battery cover can be removed easily, as often depicted. I have followed the advice of another Star fans from the very beginning, and have therefore no problems. The Star One put simply between both hands (who has sweaty hands, should use latex Einweghanschuhe). The battery cover should face upwards. Well exert a slight pressure and slide the cover in the arrow direction. Even is he happens ;-).
Now my final conclusion for the Samsung S5230 Star! For Touchscreen User is the forth price / performance ratio, an absolutely great and recommendable phone. Topp Optics, class workmanship, easy handling, self-explanatory functions directly and perfectly responsive touch screen, brilliant display and lots of other features that promise true 'mobile fun'. And so that one long has some of the display, you should protect it. I recommend no cheap screen protector! But one that off a little / and discourages. Just go to schutzfolien24.de. Here you will find guaranteed the right. I have 8, - Euro invested for a film ... and do not regret it.
The Samsung S5230 Star is >>> MY 'STAR'! And I was convinced abolut !!!
