The Samsung 5611 is a more advanced version of its predecessor, the 5610. In the category of budget gadgets, this practical and compact phone is able to outperform the competition thanks to its many features and presentable appearance.
Appearance
The developers used ordinary plastic as a material in the manufacture of the case. It is worth noting that although the assembly looks pretty high quality, the creaking of the keys and the control joystick upsets. You can get used to this sound, but still there is little pleasant in it. The buyer will be able to choose white, silver or black color options for the model.
There is a screen on the front side of the Samsung 5611 phone, above it there is a speaker, and below it are the control keys. The on/off button of the device is on the right sidewall, on the left there are keys that control the volume. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is located on the top of the phone, and here you can also find a micro-USB charger slot hidden by a special cover. The rear panel has a camera, LEDflash and speaker, the bottom of the gadget is a microphone.
The Samsung 5611 phone has the following dimensions: 49.7 x 118.9 x 12.9 mm and weight 91 g. As you can see, the device turned out to be quite compact, so it is very convenient to carry it around.
Screen
The screen has a standard TFT-matrix and is 2.4 inches in size with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The picture on this small display looks quite tolerable even with such a low number of pixels. The color reproduction is good, the colors are bright enough. Viewing angles are not ideal, but they can not be called a frank minus.
The font and pictures look decent on the display, so it's quite convenient to work with the device - 262,000 colors cope with their function. Probably no one will carry out any serious tasks on such a small screen. But for using ordinary functions, it will do just fine.
Specifications
The Samsung 5611 phone has a single-core processor running at 460 MHz. This power is enough for normal work with applications, multimedia functions, as well as for using simple games that do not require powerful hardware.
Only 256 MB available for data storage. For the first time, even this amount of memory is enough to upload a certain number of music tracks to the phone or take a few pictures with the camera. To expand the capacity of the gadget under the battery, there is a slot for microSD memory cards; model recognizes flash drivesup to 16 GB.
Phone owners will be pleased with the presence of decent Bluetooth and the ability to work in 3G networks.
Camera
"Samsung 5611" received a high-quality camera capable of taking photos with a resolution of 5 megapixels. It's not just ordinary optics embedded in a device just to be there. It takes quite solid and clear pictures both outdoors and indoors. Naturally, with a lack of lighting, the picture quality drops sharply, even despite the presence of an LED flash. But if necessary, the optics are able to capture a good shot even in the dark.
Remarkable work of autofocus is noted, thanks to which it is possible to create such good photos. Adjusting the contrast and brightness according to the conditions will help you achieve even better results.
A small set of various options is installed here, including filters, switching between photo and video modes, changing the image resolution, turning the flash on / off and more.
The resolution of the video can't really boast of anything - 320 x 240 pixels. However, it is worth noting the frequency of 30 frames per second, because of which the image does not slow down much and looks very good.
Sound and audio player
With the sound component, everything is ambiguous here. The player reproduces melodies well through headphones, of course, there is no question of high-quality bass and other interesting functions inherent in applications of more expensive models, but stillIt is quite possible to listen to your favorite tracks on this device. The downside is that the system does not recognize Cyrillic and long song names.
The gadget has a fairly quiet speaker, so the interlocutor is not very well heard. The speaker for calls and listening to music has an average volume and quality. For radio lovers, the creators of the device have provided an FM receiver.
Battery
The battery in the Samsung GT S5611 turned out to be quite modest, only 1000 mAh. But it is worth remembering about the small screen and the weak stuffing of the phone, so with moderate use the device is quite capable of living for five days without additional recharging. The developers claim that in talk mode the model works for about 5 hours, and in standby mode - 310 hours. The indicators are not so bad, so such a battery should not be considered a minus.
Conclusion
The price of the Samsung GT S5611 turned out to be quite high: from 3,778 to 5,900 rubles. Even taking into account some of the undeniable advantages of the device, it is clearly overpriced - no doubt, the South Korean manufacturer threw a little for the brand. If we talk about the model itself, then we have a classic state employee with a number of advantages and disadvantages. The screen is very small but high quality. Due to the small size of the display, the low resolution is not particularly conspicuous. I was pleased with a good camera with a set of necessary functions and with the ability to shoot good videos. The design of the case is well done, but the creaking of the keys is very embarrassing. The device is capablerecognize cards up to only 16 GB, while many cheaper and more modest devices work stably with flash drives up to 32 GB. In general, the phone is not bad, but many will be put off by the inflated price.
"Samsung 5611": customer reviews
Most owners prefer the previous model of the device: they believe that it turned out to be more convenient, durable and efficient.
Some customers had problems creating a playlist in the player, as well as launching tracks via a memory card.
Samsung 5611 speaker, whose characteristic in most cases is negative, seemed too quiet to buyers. Also criticized is the phone book, which is quite uncomfortable to work with: the contact name can contain a maximum of 20 characters. Owners are confused by the sound of the camera, which cannot be turned off.
Many scold the system for various glitches and long processing of information. Others, on the contrary, are quite satisfied with the functioning of the filling of the device.
There are problems with the battery. As for its "survivability", opinions differ: one charge is enough, for others it is too little. In isolated cases, unauthorized shutdown of the gadget was noted after the battery was discharged by one division.
The body practically did not cause any complaints: durable, comfortable, compact. Users often dropped the phone, but it continued to work normally. They only complain about the lack of original cases, which is why you have to look for Chinese ones, focusing on the size of the case.
Almost everyone liked the camera: beautiful and clear pictures, excellent autofocus and LED flash. Although technically the light bulb cannot be used as a flashlight, there is one trick: we go into video mode and turn on the backlight, this way we get an impromptu light source.
Another aspect confuses the owners of "Samsung 5611" - the price. In their opinion, this bar is too high due to the brand and does not match the quality of the device.
