Content:

Fashion on touch devices markedly reduced the rows of telephones with keys. For a long time Nokia filled the market with such devices, but now there is no similar replacement for , \ . Yes, there are or , but they offer a combination touch screen and buttons. Other models have been announced, but the same control principle is used there.

Therefore, those who are not ready to give up their usual qualities can be advised to pay attention to the Samsung S5610. This candy bar is not very expensive, but it looks nice, and functionally very good. 2.4-inch QVGA screen, 5-megapixel autofocus camera with flash, FM radio with recording function, memory card slot and convenient menu settings.

Appearance

The monoblock turned out to be neat and pretty. The case is gray, so it is equally well combined with the classic image of a business person and the rhythm of the life of a young user. The base light gray plastic shell is diluted with darker inserts on the front and back.



In the first case, it will be a keyboard block, and in the second case, it will be an aluminum part that is fixed in a removable cover.

The dimensions of the device are 119.2x49.7x12.9 mm, weight 91 g. The body is relatively thick compared to touch phones. However, for a monoblock with buttons, these are normal parameters, and there is no question of any excessive bulkiness here.



The phone has a good weight distribution, thanks to it and well-thought-out ergonomics, it lies well in the hand. It fits well in the pockets of clothes, it is convenient with him.

At the top there is a speaker hole, which is located under a plastic insert with numerous holes.

At the top end of the phone there is a standard 3.5 mm jack, to which any headphones are connected. The microUSB port is located in the center. It is protected by a sliding plug from dust and small debris. This is a simple and reliable design.



There is a volume rocker on the left side of the phone. It has a comfortable relief, it is easy to grope and press with little effort and clearly works. There is also a hole for attaching the strap.



On the right, there is a dedicated key for shooting a fairly large size.



There is a microphone at the bottom.

Back cover has a rather original design. It combines a plastic base, which is almost completely covered with an aluminum insert. Such a surface looks beautiful, and just holding the device in your hand will be very pleasant.



The panel is held tightly, there is not the slightest backlash or creaking. It is worth mentioning the overall build quality of the phone, which deserves the highest praise.



The camera lens is located in the center, next to them are the slots of the speaker. On the other side is the flash.

Sliding the cover down, you can see the hole for the memory card. Under the battery is a SIM card slot.



Keyboard

The monoblock received the usual layout of the controls. They consist of a pair of soft keys and call accept and end buttons. The elements are located on the insert, which is divided into two parts. The buttons have a small and clear stroke, they are pressed with a soft mechanical click. There is enough free space between them to exclude false positives.

In the center is a four-position navigation key. It is made in the form of a square with slightly beveled corners. The central part turns out to be slightly recessed due to small sides, which are made of silvery plastic and border it.

Below is the keyboard block, which traditionally consists of 12 keys: 3 buttons on each row. Like the navigation block, these elements are made in the form of plates, which are separated from each other by small horizontal slots. They help you navigate between lines with buttons when typing blindly.

The buttons are convenient to use, although at first they may not seem the most good decision. They are large, softly pressed, they have a moderate stroke. The symbols are printed in white: both Cyrillic and Latin, and numbers of the same color. They are perfectly visible in any conditions due to the contrasting black background. The phone is perfect for those who type a lot of messages.



Screen

The TFT-display of the phone has a diagonal of 2.4 inches. Up to 262 thousand colors are displayed, the resolution is 240x320 pixels.

The screen implements several levels of brightness adjustment, which allow you to choose the optimal backlight level.

On the street, the image fades, but remains readable. Under the bright sun, the data is problematic to see.







Screen quality is clearly not related to strengths models. The viewing angles are small, the colors of the pictures are noticeably distorted, one has only to slightly turn the phone on its side.









Interface

The display shows a variety of service information. The user customizes the desktop at his discretion, a lot of possibilities are offered. You can move the clock around or remove it completely, there are a number of application icons that can be activated without going to the menu, which is convenient. There can be 15 such applications, they are set at your discretion. For example, you can display a calendar on the desktop, display the time in two time zones, display information about missed calls, unread messages and many more useful information.


The menu is modified using pre-installed themes, there are 3 in total. How to install others is not very clear. Most likely, you will have to use only this set. Moving by phone can be accompanied by animation effects. A picture is set for the desktop design, a font style is selected in the menu and when dialing a phone number.


Up to 18 contact shortcuts can be present on the desktop, each can be assigned a picture for clarity, part of the name is also displayed, but not completely. By selecting a contact, you can see if there were new messages or calls from him, as well as make a call, write an SMS message or email. From here you can also add new data to a contact or view current information about him. If desired, you can remove the entire output Additional information if you prefer a laconic design style. Soft keys (the left button opens the "Menu", the right button "Contacts") cannot be reassigned to other functions. The menu is navigated using the number keys. Actions are assigned to joystick deflections in all four directions.


The menu consists of 12 icons, 3x4. You cannot change their places. Navigation using number keys throughout the menu works. I really liked that the phone remembers the last item on which the user stopped. You can exit to the desktop, enter again, the cursor will be placed on the section where the user was before, if you enter it after that, it will be in the same place.

Phone book

When you open contacts, you will see 3 categories. The first is the actual contacts themselves, which are stored both in the phone’s memory and on the SIM card, which can be stored in the phone up to 1000. The other is groups that you can create yourself by adding up to 20 contacts to each, as well as assigning a melody subscribers grouped into one category. And the last one is the generated list favorite contacts(of which there can be no more than 18), which are also displayed on the desktop if such a function is enabled in the settings. The list of numbers is sorted by first or last name. The phone is able to display the numbers that are stored in its memory or on the SIM card, both together and separately.


Each contact can be assigned 5 numbers, as well as select the type: mobile, landline, car phone, fax). Additional data includes several addresses Email, send a contact to a group, set a birthday date (it will appear in the calendar), and add a text note and other information.



To the recorded names in the phone book, you can add a ringtone, a picture, both from pre-installed ones and among those added to the phone's memory or to a flash card. In contacts there is a function to search for a subscriber by first letters. There is a speed dial function of 18 numbers.


Call log

The call log consists of several categories: all, missed, dialed numbers, received calls, sent messages, received messages. The first section contains all actions: calls, messages, e-mail, messages from social networks. This is convenient, you can view the entire list and quickly find necessary information, no need to go to different menus.


Each of the other categories displays up to 30 numbers. From the call log, you can add a number to an existing contact or create a new one. There is a blacklist feature. There is a call log, which displays the time of calls (divided into incoming, outgoing, etc.), the counter of messages and transmitted data. The phone has a function fake call, which allows you to simulate incoming call.



Messages

This section contains SMS and MMS. The phone has a memory for 300 messages, and the capabilities of a SIM card can be additionally used. As such, there is no division between SMS and MMS: adding to idle text message picture, ringtone or long text, you turn it into a multimedia. There is a snooze function: if the message has not been read by the owner of the phone, then the device after a certain period of time (after 2.5 or 10 minutes) can sound signal. There is T9, which helps with typing, also displays new words that have been added by the user.



Messages are grouped both in the form of dialogs and displayed in one shared folder. When sending messages, the phone offers not only the addressees from the phone book, but also the numbers used earlier in the correspondence. Unwanted recipients can be blocked, messages received from them will be automatically added to the spam folder, from where they can then be deleted. The input language is changed through the submenu.





Email

To check e-mail, the built-in client required for this purpose is configured. You can enter multiple accounts, the built-in application will help you set up mailboxes on popular resources such as Google, Yahoo, Windows Live. Creating a mailbox from the popular Mail.ru did not cause any difficulties. Mail can be viewed as a general list, and individually examine the contents of different boxes. As with SMS, you can scale the font. IMAP4, POP3, SMTP, SSL, TLS are supported.

You can set automatic synchronization in your phone by setting the desired fixed time interval (from 30 minutes to 1 day), set maximum size downloaded letter (from 100 kb to 5 mb), as well as the number of e-mail messages downloaded to the phone's memory. Emails sent from your phone can be automatically signed. You can also attach any file that is in the phone's memory.

Message blocking works, letters are sent to a separate folder without getting into the inbox. Generally, mail client implemented well, except that the check interval is almost automatically selected for all accounts, which may not be very convenient.

Camera

The phone is equipped with a 5-megapixel module with autofocus and flash. The camera is launched from the menu or by a dedicated key. However, this can only be done on the main screen. The interface is adapted for shooting in landscape orientation.


Camera settings:

Resolution: 5M (2560x1920) 3.2M (2048x1536), 2M (1600x1200), 1M (1024x768), 0.3M (640x480), 0.1M (320x240 pixels).

White balance: auto, daylight, incandescent, fluorescent, cloudy.

Scene: Portrait, landscape, night, sport, party.

Metering: matrix, center, spot.

Timer: 2, 5, 10 seconds.

Quality: excellent, good, normal.

The viewing time is adjusted, auxiliary icons are turned off. In the camera settings, you can set the location for saving pictures (phone memory or card). There is also a feature that allows you to use keys to quickly change settings.



Phone for the money offers a fairly good picture quality. There is blurring at the edges of the frame. I am pleased with adequate color reproduction and the possibility of macro photography.


Mp3 player

The phone supports playing songs from a memory card, the A2DP profile is supported, with which you can listen to music on wireless headphones. The album cover written in the tags of the songs is displayed, there were no problems with the encoding either. The phone plays MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC, eACC+ formats. Music library supports following settings plays: all tracks, playlists, albums, artists, genres, frequently played, rarely played.


The display shows the track name, playing time, track number. Covers registered in the file tags were displayed correctly on the screen, and the cover assigned to the song is also shown. The track you are listening to can be assigned as a ringtone or message, assigned to a subscriber, or set as an alarm. The player may turn off after a set period of time (from 30 minutes to 2 hours in the background).


There is a mode of repeated playing of both one song and all. You can give your own assessment of the available compositions by rating on a five-point scale. You can listen to music from playlists compiled on your computer, or create your own on your phone. The player turns off. This will display the player's menu on the desktop, where you can navigate between tracks, change the volume of the music.


There are 9 preset equalizer settings available to the user, but you cannot set your own parameters. Interestingly, in the settings you can reassign the actions of the keyboard keys and control the player with their help.

The sound is very good. The phone is able to act as an alternative to an inexpensive player, especially if you use good headphones.

Radio

The phone allows you to listen to the radio, both through headphones and through the speaker of the phone. There is support for RDS, the device can tune in to radio frequencies on its own, saving them, you can independently set priority stations, give them a name. There is a radio recording function, you can save an audio file to a card or phone memory. The receiver also works in the background.


File Manager

The amount of built-in memory is 100 MB. The test used cards from 4 to 32 GB, they all worked flawlessly. The built-in file browser can transfer files from folders to the phone memory and memory cards, copy, rename and delete them.

Through it, you can view and listen to a variety of content. Images are shown as vertical list or a matrix of preview pictures. This includes pictures and videos taken with the phone's camera. Data is sent in various ways to other devices.

Browser

The built-in NetFront application has a rich set of settings that are used to more comfortable viewing information. The browser is capable of loading full-fledged sites, but the overall speed is not the highest. Volumetric resources scroll through not very quickly. Therefore, those who need regular mobile Internet surfing can be advised to install Opera Mini.


Organizer

The calendar can be displayed as either a week or a month. You can display in a single list all the events entered into it, there can be 3 types of them in the phone's memory: meeting, anniversary, event. Sets the start and end time of the memo. Additionally, a warning signal is set. The event is assigned a repeat: every day, weekly, biweekly, monthly, yearly. You can select the default calendar view: day, week, or month, as well as set the day the week starts.




Tasks allow you to create events different types with notice.

The phone also stores various text notes in its memory.

You can create 10 alarms by setting the day and time of the notification, with the ability to set the signal at your discretion. The volume and melody of the signal are adjusted, the pause between repeated operation (from 3 to 30 minutes). The alarm clock can be set both for 1 time and for every day, or you can choose the days of repetition yourself. The phone can only give a vibrating signal or a melody, and you can combine them together.


World time shows different time zones.

There is a stopwatch and a timer.

The voice recorder records sounds without time limit. You can also create shorter entries that are suitable for sending via MMS.

The unit converter is simple and clear.

The calculator is endowed with basic functions.

There is an application Utalk, which is a tool for communication and correspondence. You can also exchange messages via Bluetooth, if the other party's phone supports this function. There are several applications for viewing information in various social networks: Twitter, Facebook and others.


Data synchronization works through Active Sync, which allows you to use data from your Google account.

There is a dictionary with the interpretation of English words in the same language.

The photo editor will allow you to process files with graphics: pictures or
pictures from the camera.


Separated in a separate paragraph backup various data from the phone memory to the card.

Profiles are 6 different preset and changeable settings phone. 3 more can be created by the user. They change the volume of the ringtone, message signal and keyboard, ringtone and messages, signal type, turn on the sound of the keyboard.

Communications

The phone operates in the GSM 850/900/1800/1900/2100 bands. When connected to a computer, it is possible to either set a single profile initially, or select the parameter of interest each time. Possible following settings: Kies, USB Mass Storage. In the latter case, the transfer of various data from the phone to the computer works without the need to install drivers.

There is Bluetooth 2.1, which, among many others, also supports the A2DP profile, which is necessary for listening to music using a wireless stereo headset.

Working hours

The phone has lithium ion battery, its capacity is 1000 mAh. Official data suggests that the talk time is up to 15 hours. In standby mode, the phone can work up to 640 hours.

The average operating time of the phone is about 3-4 days, taking into account calls for 15-20 minutes a day, a couple of hours of listening to the player and occasional use of other functions of the phone.

Conclusion

The speaker volume is enough for most situations. The interlocutor is well heard even in the bustle of city streets or the subway. The volume of the call is high, I was pleased with the power of the vibration signal, it is perfectly felt.

On this description of the functions Samsung phone S5610 can be completed. The model turned out excellent in almost all respects. I'll start with the shortcomings, the screen quality suffers here, I would like to see an attractive picture. The principle of the keyboard operation is not very clear, because if the Russian language is selected in the menu, then it is impossible to type text in Latin characters, you need to choose English language main. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the model. I liked the design, build and materials. Good camera and sound in headphones, as well as a well-designed call log.

As I said in the introduction, there are very few such devices now. Less well-known manufacturers, for example, Fly or Philips, offer their variations. However, if there is no need for two SIM-cards, then you should definitely pay attention to this monoblock. The model is definitely successful.

This sam5610 has been working for me for a long time. It seems not just a dialer, but also a lot of nice advanced options. there is a significant drawback - poor sensitivity to the network, where it refuses to work where the reception is not very sure, but the Internet pulls out. the E200 itself works stably under these conditions .. it can be very unpleasant, especially on the road, other mobile phones work, but your miracle is gone and there is no time to run around looking for a place

I bought this miracle, a very good phone, everything suits me, but with a reserve of charge, it’s really some kind of misunderstanding.
Of course, I talk a lot, for a total of two hours a day, respectively, it keeps charging: 3-4 days, that is, 6-7 hours of talk time maximum, but not like 15.

I read the comments and already takes fear! people, this sams with a minimum of functionality is in your hands and you can’t deal with it (if not on the basis of logic, then at least by typing and sequential enumeration)? it’s terrible, one is screwing the body with a simple (or widescreen) video, the other doesn’t know why the camera settings (this also applies to the author of the article, after viewing the photos provided), the third cannot just switch the function so that he can be friends with the computer normally, the fourth cannot time change locks............! how do you deal with a computer then .... if you can not cope with a simple mobile phone? The device, in terms of its price and functionality, is quite worthy of attention! a couple of details from myself - 1. the battery sucks! I'll stir up the topic in order to implant a larger battery in it, because I'm already used to forgetting about charging. 2 sound from the speakers do not like absolutely! it’s kind of metallic, it’s already infuriating (I found a quite acceptable alternative - Divoom iTour-Boom Jack) and quiet (I have something to compare with, and not - I had to wind up the sound)! 3. in the comments, the anatolic said about the headset from Panasonic, but did not indicate the model, I also have panosics, they are also normally friends with the mobile and I will say their model is RP-TCM120E-K. 4. so that Java does not rest on 500 kb, we type the code * # 52828378 # , in paragraphs 4 and 5 we add 0 to all parameters (but here we have our drawbacks - we go beyond the established framework for straining the body and the code must be entered after each reboot, because the setting flies and the bodies read the installation data when loading). 5 minor bugs, glitches.... fix and even get some additions to the settings, if you're not too lazy and update the firmware! on the Samsung website and on some forums focused purely on mobile devices, there are firmware, patches, alternative firmware! do not take the firmware on any sloppy sites and in the comments that are available here! firstly - it can be dangerous for your toy and wallet, and secondly - you must not lean on one side when re-sewn, but detailed instructions, clarification comments .... usually not attached.

Advantages: The advantages are declared by the manufacturer on the Samsung.com website. I did not have time to evaluate them, because although I had two phones on hand, they were defective and I used each for a limited time.
Disadvantages: 1. Both handsets had the same significant defect: a very limited operating time due to the rapid discharge of the battery. The manufacturer stated on its website: standby time (with SIM card) 960 hours (40 days), talk time (3G) 15 hours or (2G) 5 hours. I bought into these numbers. The first phone was completely discharged in a day, the second lasted 80 hours, having worked for only 1.5 hours, and then turned itself off due to a full discharge. 2. For this phone the Kies program is offered, for a bunch of phone-computer. This program, to say crude, useless - to say nothing. Fully testing it is a waste of time. I dumped all the contacts from the first phone to the computer in order to transfer them without problems to the second. But no, the problems just appeared! Firstly, the letter “l” was no longer reproduced on the new phone (Aa remained instead of Alla). Secondly, when filling in contacts for the first time, I entered the relevant information in the columns “mobile phone” and “telephone”. And when transferring, “phones” suddenly became “ mobile phones". Thirdly, the entered addresses disappeared. A new “additional” field has appeared, but it has incomprehensible icons, solid abracadabra. Therefore, the whole day had to be spent to restore the initial form of contacts.
Comment: Analyzing the failures with phones, I concluded that their total production time is December 2012. Remember Soviet times: products released at the end of the quarter, and even more so in the last month of the year, could not be purchased under any circumstances. She was all defective: a plan was being made. Considering all of the above, I am completely disappointed in Samsung products, both in technical products and in software products. If you want a headache, purchase the products of this company, and if not, bypass it. I was deeply mistaken, believing that Samsung products are worth attention. Consider my experience and do not make such mistakes.

To me, as a person who does not like touch, this phone seemed normal and pleasant to use. push-button telephone. In the salons are expensive, but in online stores for 1 thousand. cheaper. Its menu is convenient, the icons can be changed as you like. When returning back, it automatically points back to the same place. Which saves time. An English dictionary is always at hand and easy to use. Lots of chats. I needed a flashlight in my cell. It's sometimes inconvenient to turn it on quickly. We must wait until the screen goes out, only then press the joystick up. The photos are of good quality and so are the videos. The most important thing is to set the correct White Balance. Eg. in the shade, when it's sunny, I set it to Cloudy, and indoors, Incandescent. But usually it is on my machine. Zoom certainly disappointed me. Do not pull more than 2. But I have a Chinese phone, can the Korean ones reach the promised 4? When photographing quickly, it is difficult to press the zoom. To do this, go through the options on Permission. But the zoom does not work at 5m, 32 meters is only 1.25, at 2m 1.6 zoom. Only 0.1 does it reach 2. But on the video, you can press the zoom immediately after the start of filming and it immediately reaches 2. And the zoom control is convenient - you can press it with your thumbs or index fingers if you turn the phone. The zoom button in this case is the volume button on the side of the cell phone. So the phone is multifunctional and convenient as a means of communication.

in defense of this miracle phone in the world of sensors, I will answer.1. there is a speed dial: contacts-tab favorites (left-right joystick). 2 connection to a PC is not a hemorrhagic - settings-connect. to pc- removable drive and done. there are pluses: with moderate use, the battery lasts for 2 weeks for sure (in the network selection settings, instead of the machine, set it manually), a good camera (you have to "not breathe" at the time of shooting); cons - a disgusting video, uncomfortable buttons for me personally and predictive text entry of sms. in Sonya you can blindly type at a breakneck pace, but they have poor build quality, a dead battery compared to this phone, you can’t find them on sale right now! and so the pros outweigh the cons, provided that you do not want a 3in1 device for that kind of money. this is really a great dialer with a very good battery and a good camera. the quality of the finish is completely satisfied. before there were always Sonya, they were killed very quickly (the exception is soft touch plastic, but after 2 years of operation they have to change the key block every six months). samsung fell many times, there are no scratches, chips, it just shatters into pieces, assemble the designer back and that's it. but this is not a sensor over which you shake so as not to break it.
By the way, mobiset, the window for comments needs to be made in several. times more. 2 minutes. you write a comment and check for errors 2 times longer, tiring !!!

S5610 is a pipe not without flaws, but pleasant. Reminds me of the SE K750 (otherwise it was a THING!). For those who do not want a sensor (as I did not want it myself), the S5610 is what you need. The size is not for children, but for a man's hand it is convenient and the screen is large. It is easy to connect to a computer, like a flash drive, it does not ask for any drivers. There are no cards included - plus, you don’t have to overpay, but he bought the one he wanted, 16 GB. Flashlight on/off holding the button up is convenient, you do not need to climb the menu. A menu of 23 (!) icons that can be swapped!!! (in the review for some reason it is written that it is impossible). There are a lot of settings. Ease of use is not perfect, but you get used to it. The camera, despite the variety of settings, is rather weak (I compare it with the SE U5 two years ago). The shutter does not work if the keys are locked - minus. On off. it would be better if they made a separate button on the end of the case - sometimes I accidentally pressed it. As well as locking the keyboard - it would be better if you press two different buttons (as on the SE K750), sometimes you accidentally unlock it. And so tel. on a solid "4", and even more so for that kind of money.

No wired headset is suitable, including the recommended original. That's the only reason I regret taking it. When the speakerphone is turned on, the subscriber on the other end begins to hardly distinguish my speech. the camera is good. Inet is vigorous. As always 50/50 pros and cons.

for some reason, music plays terribly on my phone through a wired headset. I connected a different one (from Nokia) I thought the point was that I needed the original one. I went to the store and connected exactly the Samsung company, the same thing. The seller himself said that most likely the problem is in the phone. I gave it to the service center under warranty, I'm waiting for the results. Has anyone else had such problems? I'm waiting for a response to my address: [email protected]

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone been able to connect this phone to a computer? Where to get the driver?

Cons to use:
1) Inconvenient transition to English / Language for SMS: multi-stage through the submenu (for all other previous Samsungs, this was solved by the case switch key for the font);
2) No shortcut keys. Why?
3) I'm struggling with the miniSD card for assigning melodies (to subscribers and groups of subscribers) from the Music folder - so far unsuccessfully. At first there was such an opportunity, but after downloading the third audio album with an additional / folder - the device went into failure: play music - please, but see tracks for assigning melodies - no, it does not see.

P.S. Thanks for the tip about using a flashlight.

there is no possibility of installation on the card

I forgot to mention the display, although it is in the review - its only advantage is the diagonal and the second duty is brightness. Otherwise, it brings sad associations with a slightly smaller X2-00. No, these are not 2.4 Zainovskys and not the same 2.36 as on the W910 (2008 and 2007, respectively). If there was one like these, I would buy without hesitation.

Along the way, a good device, if Sams does not piss me off, only quite large - as wide as the Nokia 5230/5228/5800, and even more in height.
I don’t understand how AF works, there seems to be no half-pressing on the camera button, you press it to the end - it somehow focuses before shooting just like 6303 without human intervention. I use the central navigation key, as on my C901, the device twitches less, the percentage of successful shots is higher. The C5610 has a very good scene for shooting texts (this is what we managed to notice, the device is not mine). I also noticed the slowdowns in the camera application, everything is much slower than in the regular menu.
By the way, gentlemen, why didn’t anyone mention C901? Is it also 5 MP / AF / Xenon like the N82 and ZN5? And it seems to me not inferior to them at least.

The review is not complete until the details are missing. Please add a review if possible. The following is very interesting: when recording from the radio - what format, bit rate, sampling rate, as well as all this when recording from a voice recorder and recording from telephone conversations(if it exists). Java application folding and multitasking.

My Samsung U100 (the thinnest (5.9mm) and lightest (65g)) is completely dilapidated. Out of production for three years now. Buying a bu in good condition is apparently not going to work. I bought yesterday was Nokia X3 (it seems to be thin (9.6mm) and light (78g)). Today I took it back to the store. This is what an idiot came up with such an unlock mode: press the button on the side and then press the touch screen again (it turned out after painful poking in all places of the display). Rave!!
Completely used to blind typing. And here are some more cute ones. touch scrolling menu!
No more experiments with Nokia, no more experiments with touch screens. I will buy Samsung 5610.

Good day to all, after reading and I realized that, as always, we are pouring from empty to empty, I have Nokia, which means everything is UG, I have Samsung, Nokia - UG, it has shrunk)
In fact, I read 2-3 reviews, 5 videos on YouTube ... + those. The characteristic and realized that for 100 bucks there are no analogues, the phone resembles the hit of those times 63 00, here Samsung is well done, this phone will find many of its fans, I will take it))
PS People who do not agree, this is your right, but that is your current opinion and the fact remains that the phone claims to be aimless, like the 6300 at one time.

Everything would be fine, but any phone should have a flashlight! Here I was able to light it only by entering the video shooting mode. Please tell me how to make it easier.

happy to use nokia 6610, 6600,7610. I bought x-6 32g, looked at a couple of new ones, now I think that Samsung is ahead in terms of the quality of the case. Zae ... lo the fact that Nokia has all the backlash and cracks like in 2110 on the rear doors.

Mostly always used SE,
good nutritional indicators and a convenient menu IMHO.
But disgusting connectors, and even when used for a year, they began to act up.
I consider this 5610 just a gift. As a "dialer" with more than basic functions. It’s a pity that I can’t find good software for pairing with a PC yet, in this moment connect using the Networking Wizard. The battery lasts 4 days easily, even with the constant disappearance from the 3G network and its search. The camera copes with the routine photography of price tags and accidents. good review, If I had seen it earlier, I would have bought the phone without hesitation.
I really agree with Sergio. Good luck and good mood to all.

Gentlemen, why are you arguing?! It is completely pointless to prove to each other that this or that is better. A phone is like a phone. All have their pluses and minuses. If the X-2 had autofocus, it might have taken it. Or the SE has a normal, extended call log and a 3.5 headphone output, I would take it. Each chooses a thing according to the totality of its important characteristics. Complete nonsense, to prove to others that this is the most terrible, or the most beautiful phone in the world.

Silver Surfer, here you go. And there are millions of people like Sergio! And at the same time, he did not impulsively rush to the device, as if it were a novelty, but purposefully chose between devices similar in price and functions. And for more than a moderate amount, a person received a lot of usefulness "in one bottle."
"There's just good and there's cheap..." But this example shows that cheap doesn't mean bad, does it?
Makin, I have nothing against the N82. Moreover, I consider this device one of the best smart phones Nokia throughout its history. Just having such powerful hardware, such developments and resources, Nokia simply did not then have the right to give in to someone in any characteristics. But the fact remains: with such slow hardware, Motorola managed to make at that time the (in my opinion) best 5MP sensor (for shooting indoors, for natural colors, white balance, etc.). And in terms of sound quality, the Motor was generally ahead of the rest.

An excellent phone, I have been using it since the beginning of November 11. The one who called it fat was clearly bitter. It was a push-button monoblock with a good camera and a flashlight that was needed (the author didn’t mention that the flash works like a flashlight). shops, but I didn’t find anything worthwhile. Elm really doesn’t like the too primitive call log, and the X-2 doesn’t have autofocus (and its presence was fundamental, I think it’s idiotic to make a 5 megapixel camera without autofocus). And then he- S5610. Poyuzal, bought, not a drop of regret so far. Excellent body. Battery four days, easy.

Written by Makin
Kairat, I had (I still have, but I don’t use) N82 and I can say with confidence that this is one of the best smart phones of its time. If we make a comparison, then I will choose the AK-74: simple and unpretentious. 3D accelerator for N-Gage, accelerometer, great GPS, relatively light weight. I changed the case, rearranged the batteries on a long journey, it fell many times. In the sun, the display is readable. If you buy only for the sake of the photo part, then it's better to buy an ordinary soap dish, isn't it? In any case, you yourself understand that an ordinary mobile phone is not like a smartphone. By some criteria, it is better in the photo, but the evening time for the N82 + is much better quality video. So, my friend, this is already fundamentally changing the case. N82 is much cooler.

Silver Surfer, I think we speak different languages. It’s hard to prove something to a person who cuts everyone with the same comb, who thinks that millions of people do nothing but rush to stupid, impulsive purchases of unnecessary things, and then look after themselves something expensive. Explaining to you that there is a category of people who will never buy something more than a certain amount is also useless! Prefer the end result? Then look at the sales volume of each segment of digital technology, at the dry figures of each device sold. And then maybe this statistic will become for you a discovery of the real world of people...

I repeat for the especially gifted: I don't need a camera phone! ZN5 was bought by me for completely different reasons (design, excellent sound in the player, adequate price). The camera is one of the strengths of this device, which turned out to be too tough even for such a monster as the N82 to surpass. And as for the "unfinished facilities", as you know, they are shock products that are sold in multimillion-dollar batches around the world. People vote in rubles, and if these devices are sold more than others, it means they were, are and will be. Whether you like it or not.

Silver Surfer, I don't need a camera phone. I say that for such money such a camera in the S5610 is just a gift! Try it, find something similar in the new Nokia monoblocks for such a price? X2-00, C5-00 5MP? I'm sorry, but they don't. And the "day before yesterday" 6500 classic is no match. I'm not a fan of Samsung, my Motik ZN5 will plug up any 5MP monoblock that we have ever sold in terms of photo. I'm just stating a fact. After all, if someone came up with a successful model in terms of a combination of characteristics, then why not admit it?

Written by: Kairat
Silver Surfer, a 2-megapixel Nokia 6500 classic camera without autofocus (as on 6300) compared with a Samsung S5610 camera - that was certainly a strong word! Well, it’s like creating an idol for yourself in order to compare the dead 5-year-old optics with the new 5MP autofocus!

Silver Surfer disagrees about the full copy. Agree that metal in the case and brilliantly cheap plastic are two different things. Nokia created such masterpieces as 6300, 6700. And Samsung does the same, only from plastic.

Written by Makin
When I saw the number on the screen of this phone, I had an association with the Chinese circus. Keyboard monoblocks are not the lot of Koreans, they turn out to be very rather ugly and with bad materials. If we take the Nokia 6700 classic (2009) and this model, then everything is clear without words. In addition, I constantly see elements of plagiarism from Samsung, which is disgusting.

I’ll add a little, he’s good in character, metal, 2011 issue, and they tricked him at a price. The price of samsa is clearly underestimated in order to improve finances (well done) - this does not mean that it is bad. Yes - 2 times it turned off by itself, and once it turns itself on (when it is off, but this is once every 2 months. So is T82, 73 - also occasionally hung. They move. Directly "a feature that everything new is worse than the old one (almost) I lost a bunch of money until I found the average one.

Without problems, you can buy pushbuttons from Sony Ericsson (Cedar, Elm). Yelm has a very personal screen, and the interface is much more convenient.
The same Nokia also has enough push-button models. However, Fly, Phillips and Samsung are mentioned. Here, only if you take the price, because inside everyone has their own cockroaches, often very significant.

Silver Surfer, for only one camera with a flash, he can be forgiven for everything! It's only a pity that it's not a 2-sim card, IMHO would have become the monoblock of the year.

Monoblock Samsung S5610 turned out nice and neat. The case is gray, so it is equally well combined with the classic image of a business person and the rhythm of the life of a young user. The basic light gray gray color of the plastic shell is diluted with darker inserts at the front and back. In the first case, it will be a keyboard block, and in the second, it will be an aluminum part that is fixed in a removable cover. The device measures 119.2x49.7x12.9 mm, weight 91 g The body is relatively thick compared to touchscreen phones. However, for a monoblock with buttons, these are normal parameters, and there is no question of any excessive bulkiness here. The phone has a good weight distribution, thanks to it and well-thought-out ergonomics, it lies well in the hand. It fits well in the pockets of clothes, it is convenient with him. At the top there is a speaker hole, which is located under a plastic insert with numerous holes. At the top end of the phone there is a standard 3.5 mm jack, to which any headphones are connected. The microUSB port is located in the center. It is protected by a sliding plug from dust and small debris. This is a simple and reliable design. There is a volume rocker on the left side of the phone. It has a comfortable relief, it is easy to grope and press with little effort and clearly works. There is also a hole for attaching the strap. On the right, there is a dedicated key for shooting a fairly large size. There is a microphone at the bottom. The back cover has a rather original design.

It combines a plastic base, which is almost completely covered with an aluminum insert. Such a surface looks beautiful, and just holding the device in your hand will be very pleasant. The panel is held tightly, there is not the slightest backlash or creaking. It is worth mentioning the overall build quality of the phone, which deserves the highest praise. The camera lens is located in the center, next to them are the slots of the speaker. On the other side is the flash. Sliding the cover down, you can see the hole for the memory card. Under the battery is a SIM card slot. The monoblock received the usual layout of the controls. They consist of a pair of soft keys and call accept and end buttons. The elements are located on the insert, which is divided into two parts. The buttons have a small and clear stroke, they are pressed with a soft mechanical click. There is enough free space between them to exclude false positives. In the center is a four-position navigation key. It is made in the form of a square with slightly beveled corners. The central part turns out to be slightly recessed due to small sides, which are made of silvery plastic and border it. Below is the keyboard block, which traditionally consists of 12 keys: 3 buttons on each row. Like the navigation block, these elements are made in the form of plates, which are separated from each other by small horizontal slots. They help you navigate between lines with buttons when typing blindly. The buttons are convenient to use, although initially they may not seem like the best solution. They are large, softly pressed, they have a moderate stroke. The symbols are printed in white: both Cyrillic and Latin, and numbers of the same color. They are perfectly visible in any conditions due to the contrasting black background. The phone is perfect for those who type a lot of messages.

TFT display Samsung S5610 has a diagonal of 2.4 inches. Up to 262 thousand colors are displayed, the resolution is 240x320 pixels. The screen implements several levels of brightness adjustment, which allow you to choose the optimal backlight level. The display shows a variety of service information. The user customizes the desktop at his discretion, a lot of possibilities are offered. You can move the clock around or remove it completely, there are a number of application icons that can be activated without going to the menu, which is convenient. There can be 15 such applications, they are set at your discretion. For example, you can display a calendar on your desktop, display the time in two time zones, display data on missed calls, unread messages, and much other useful information. S5610 equipped with a 5-megapixel module with autofocus and flash. The camera is launched from the menu or by a dedicated key. However, this can only be done on the main screen.

In standby mode, the phone can work up to 640 hours.

Average running time Samsung S5610 is about 3-4 days, taking into account calls for 15-20 minutes a day, a couple of hours of listening to the player and occasional use of other phone functions. The speaker volume is enough for most situations. The interlocutor is well heard even in the bustle of city streets or the subway.

The panel is held tightly, there is not the slightest backlash or creaking. It is worth mentioning the overall build quality, which is worthy of the highest praise.



The camera lens is located in the center, next to them are the slots of the speaker. On the other side is the flash.

Sliding the cover down, you can see the hole for the memory card. Under the battery is a SIM card slot.



Keyboard

The monoblock received the usual layout of the controls. They consist of a pair of soft keys and call accept and end buttons. The elements are located on the insert, which is divided into two parts. The buttons have a small and clear stroke, they are pressed with a soft mechanical click. There is enough free space between them to exclude false positives.

The symbols are printed in white: both Cyrillic and Latin, and numbers of the same color. They are perfectly visible in any conditions due to the contrasting black background. The phone is perfect for those who type a lot of messages.



Screen

The on-screen displays are as follows: TFT-display has a diagonal of 2.4 inches, displays up to 262 thousand colors, resolution is 240x320 pixels.

The screen implements several levels of brightness adjustment, which allow you to choose the optimal backlight level.

On the street, the image fades, but remains readable. Under the bright sun, the data is problematic to see.







The screen quality is clearly not one of the strengths of the model. The viewing angles are small, the colors of the pictures are noticeably distorted, one has only to slightly turn the phone on its side.









Interface

The display shows a variety of service information. The user customizes the desktop at his discretion, a lot of possibilities are offered. You can move the clock around or remove it completely, there are a number of application icons that can be activated without going to the menu, which is convenient. There can be 15 such applications, they are set at your discretion. For example, you can display a calendar on your desktop, display the time in two time zones, display data on missed calls, unread messages, and much other useful information.


Menu S5610 modified with the help of pre-installed themes, there are 3 in total. How to install others is not very clear. Most likely, you will have to use only this set. Moving by phone can be accompanied by animation effects. A picture is set for the desktop design, a font style is selected in the menu and when dialing a phone number.


Up to 18 contact shortcuts can be present on the desktop, each can be assigned a picture for clarity, part of the name is also displayed, but not completely. By selecting a contact, you can see if there were new messages or calls from him, as well as make a call, write an SMS message or email. From here you can also add new data to a contact or view current information about him. If you wish, you can remove all the additional information displayed if you prefer a concise design style. Soft keys (the left button opens the "Menu", the right button "Contacts") cannot be reassigned to other functions. The menu is navigated using the number keys. Actions are assigned to joystick deflections in all four directions.


The menu consists of 12 icons, 3x4. You cannot change their places. Navigation using number keys throughout the menu works. I really liked that the phone remembers the last item on which the user stopped. You can exit to the desktop, enter again, the cursor will be placed on the section where the user was before, if you enter it after that, it will be in the same place.

Phone book

When you open contacts, you will see 3 categories. The first is the contacts themselves, which are stored both in the phone’s memory and on the SIM card, which can be stored in up to 1000. The other is groups that you can create yourself by adding up to 20 contacts to each, and also assign a melody to the combined to one category of subscribers. And the last one is a generated list of favorite contacts (of which there can be no more than 18), which are also displayed on the desktop if such a function is enabled in the settings. The list of numbers is sorted by first or last name. The phone is able to display the numbers that are stored in its memory or on the SIM card, both together and separately.


Each contact can be assigned 5 numbers, as well as select the type: mobile, landline, car phone, fax). From the additional data, several email addresses are indicated, send a contact to a group, set a birthday date (it will be displayed in the calendar), as well as add a text note and other information.



To the recorded names in the phone book, you can add a ringtone, a picture, both from pre-installed ones and among those added to the phone's memory or to a flash card. In contacts there is a function to search for a subscriber by first letters. There is a speed dial function of 18 numbers.


Call log

The call log consists of several categories: all, missed, dialed numbers, received calls, sent messages, received messages. All actions fall into the first section: calls, messages, e-mail, messages from social networks. This is convenient, you can view the entire list and quickly find the information you need, there is no need to go to different menus.


Each of the other categories displays up to 30 numbers. From the call log, you can add a number to an existing contact or create a new one. There is a blacklist feature. There is a call log, which displays the time of calls (divided into incoming, outgoing, etc.), the counter of messages and transmitted data. The phone has a fake call function that allows you to simulate an incoming call.



Messages

This section contains SMS and MMS. GT-S5610 has a memory for 300 messages, and the capabilities of a SIM card can be additionally used. As such, there is no division between SMS and MMS: by adding a picture, a melody or a long text to a simple text message, you turn it into a multimedia message. There is a snooze function: if the message has not been read by the owner of the phone, then the device can beep after a certain period of time (after 2.5 or 10 minutes). There is T9, which helps with typing, also displays new words that have been added by the user.



Messages are grouped both in the form of dialogs and displayed in one shared folder. When sending messages, the phone offers not only the addressees from the phone book, but also the numbers used earlier in the correspondence. Unwanted recipients can be blocked, messages received from them will be automatically added to the spam folder, from where they can then be deleted. The input language is changed through the submenu.





Email

To check e-mail, the built-in client required for this purpose is configured. You can enter several accounts, the built-in application will help you set up mailboxes on such popular resources as Google, Yahoo, Windows Live. Creating a mailbox from the popular Mail.ru did not cause any difficulties. Mail can be viewed as a general list, and individually examine the contents of different boxes. As with SMS, you can scale the font. IMAP4, POP3, SMTP, SSL, TLS are supported.

In phone Samsung GT-S5610 you can set automatic synchronization by setting the desired fixed time interval (from 30 minutes to 1 day), set the maximum size of the downloaded letter (from 100 kb to 5 mb), as well as the number of e-mail messages uploaded to the phone's memory. Emails sent from your phone can be automatically signed. You can also attach any file that is in the phone's memory.

Message blocking works, letters are sent to a separate folder without getting into the inbox. In general, the mail client is implemented well, except that the check interval is almost automatically selected for all accounts, which can be not very convenient.

Camera

The phone is equipped with a 5-megapixel module with autofocus and flash. The camera is launched from the menu or by a dedicated key. However, this can only be done on the main screen. The interface is adapted for shooting in landscape orientation.


Camera settings:

Resolution: 5M (2560x1920) 3.2M (2048x1536), 2M (1600x1200), 1M (1024x768), 0.3M (640x480), 0.1M (320x240 pixels).

White balance: auto, daylight, incandescent, fluorescent, cloudy.

Scene: Portrait, landscape, night, sport, party.

Metering: matrix, center, spot.

Timer: 2, 5, 10 seconds.

Quality: excellent, good, normal.

The viewing time is adjusted, auxiliary icons are turned off. In the camera settings, you can set the location for saving pictures (phone memory or card). There is also a feature that allows you to use keys to quickly change settings.



At the time of publication, it was in the region of 4,500 rubles. And for the money, the phone offers a fairly good picture quality. There is blurring at the edges of the frame. I am pleased with adequate color reproduction and the possibility of macro photography.





Video recording options are quite simple. The maximum resolution is 320x240 pixels, 30 frames per second. There is more mode Low quality, as well as a number of settings.



Video example:

Mp3 player

The phone supports playback of songs from a memory card, the A2DP profile is supported, with which you can listen to music on wireless headphones. The album cover written in the tags of the songs is displayed, there were no problems with the encoding either. The phone plays MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC, eACC+ formats.
