Samsung C3300 Champ User Review

Samsung launched their cheapest touchscreen mobile phone, Samsung Champ in India. Here is a review of Champ by Tech Expert Mayank Sehgal

Quick Summary

The Samsung Champ is the most affordable touchscreen handset with some appealing abilities and apps onboard. It best suits the on – move – Youth.

Build

Samsung C3300 is a packed- in entry-level phone with touchscreen in the Crystal Design. The “Champ” has a 2.4-inch touch screen with 320 x 240 resolution and includes a Touch Wiz lite interface. The Champ’s screen is resistive rather than capacitive.

By being cheapest touchscreen available in the market, it sheds the assumptions of being Chinese look alike, instead the handset looks impressive. The handset is curved with shortcut keys on the front for making and ending calls, and refreshing the screen. The back of the Champ is smooth and should make for comfortable holding as you press and swipe the screen.

The Champ is available in four colors, Brown, Black (for the cool guys), pink (for the churpy girls) and then there is White – ‘evergreen’ and in.

Touch Wiz lite offers the same support for widget and apps which Samsung offers in most of their feature phones like Star, Corby Series or the next revolution phones – Wave & Galaxy S.

The Samsung Champ does not carry 3G or Wi-Fi, using the social networking tools would get time-consuming at times.

Conclusion

Compact and light, the Samsung Champ looks perfect. Definitely, it would suit the College going youth, being on a tight budget but still getting a social networking-enabled device with effective media capabilities. The battery life is good too, which means longer songs listening time, longer messaging time.
