Samsung SGH-D830

brief information

It seems that talking on this phone, you can accidentally cut your throat. Still, 9.9 mm is a very thin case for a clamshell. A real image solution. For all its compactness, the Samsung SGH-D830 does an excellent job with its tasks.

Specifications:

• The phone not only looks great, it is also built very high quality. The backlash and looseness characteristic of some clamshells are practically absent here. Externally, the phone case looks like metal, but there is evidence that only the battery compartment is made of metal and nothing else.
• The secondary display is small in size and moderately functional. Of course, both the monochrome screen and the low resolution of 96x16 are due to the minimalism of the body design. Graphical information is not actually displayed.
• The D830's keys are sometimes subject to criticism. When typing SMS, you have to frantically press the keys, making mistakes from time to time. However, with a little skill, this minor flaw can be completely negated.
• The main display of the phone will fully satisfy the needs of the most demanding user. Its size is 2.3", resolution is 240x320 pixels, 256+ shades of colours are displayed. As with most Samsung phones, the display is superbly bright and contrasty.
• The built-in memory of the phone is quite capacious - up to 80 MB, together with the space allocated for pre-installed applications. Additionally, you can purchase a microSD card. There is evidence that some types of cards are sometimes read quite slowly, this largely depends on the properties of the D830 processor.
• Some complain about the quiet sound of the phone, completely in vain. With proper settings, an unexpected call can even scare you with its volume. When used with a headset, there are no problems at all, the sound is just excellent.
• GPRS and EDGE class 10 are supported, a regular WAP-browser version 2.0 is installed. Although it is quite functional, it can always be replaced with something even more decent.

Camera:

• The camera in the Samsung SGH-D830 is very high quality, 2 megapixels. The set of functions is quite standard for this kind of Samsung products, including, for example, changing the light sensitivity (up to ISO 1600), which, of course, should not be done by an inexperienced photographer in order to avoid.
• The maximum resolution of pictures is 1600x1200, which is quite enough for printing modest amateur photos. On request, shooting in series of 6, 9 and 15 frames is available. To give a unique gloss, the phone has a simple editor - you can add various effects like `negative`, sepia, fog and other filters that no one needs.
• The video is shot in 3GP format with an excellent resolution of up to 355x288 today, the video quality can be changed depending on your own needs.

Media and programs:

• The phone has a simple MP3 and video player with the possibility of various systematization of tracks. For MP3, a primitive equalizer is used with the ability to select Rock, Jazz, etc.
• The recorder works well, the user himself determines the recording time. Among the functions of the voice recorder is the possibility of recording a telephone conversation.
• Another useful application is Picsel File Viewer, an office file viewer that allows you to read all basic office documents from .doc to .pdf. Unfortunately, for some reason, the ability to edit files is not provided.

Battery:

According to the manufacturer, the Samsung SHG-D830 battery lasts for a relatively short time - up to 210 hours of standby time and only 2.5 hours of talk time. In the conditions of local networks and moderate use of phone functions, the battery charge will last for two days. In many ways, this is a fee for a super-thin case.
