The classic representative of push-button monoblock phones is the Samsung 5610. Specifications, owner reviews and other relevant information on this gadget will be given as part of our short review.
This is an entry-level device with a set of essential features.
Package, design and ergonomics
From the position of equipment, this device cannot boast of anything unusual. More precisely, it is severely curtailed. Its boxed version includes the following components and accessories:
- Mobile phone itself.
- External 1000mAh battery.
- MicroUSB interface cord.
- Charger.
As you can see from all of the above, in the initial package there is no stereo headset and an external flash drive. These accessories must be purchased separately at an additional cost. Also, the owners of the Samsung S 5610 phone need to take care of maintaining the original look of the mobile phone. Its body is made of ordinary plastic, and it is not difficult to damage it. It will be difficult to protect it without a cover, so you can’t do without it either. The dimensions of the device at the present time are quite modest: 118.9 x 49.7 mm with a thickness of 12.9 mm. Its weight is 91 grams. The keyboard is divided into several tiers, each of them is separated from those next to it by a ledge. Such a constructive solution allows you to even "blindly" control your mobile phone. The developers have not forgotten about the backlight of the keyboard. On the left side of the phone there are volume rockers, and on the right edge of the device there is a camera control button. At the bottom is a characteristic microphone hole, and at the top are all wired interfaces: micro USB and a 3.5 mm jack for connecting a stereo headset or speakers. Let's put it this way: the design of the mobile phone is well developed and it will not be difficult to manage it, including with one hand.
Iron
Insufficient built-in memory in the mobile phone "Samsung 5610". The phone is equipped with only 108 MB, which is clearly not enough for comfortable work on it, so you simply cannot do without an external flash drive. It will have to be purchased separately. The device is capable of working with microSD cards with a maximum size of 16 GB. The display diagonal is only 2.4 inches, but for a push-button phone, this is a normal figure. The screen resolution is 240 x 320, it is capable of displaying 262,000 different colors. Its matrix is made according to today's obsolete technology - TFT. because ofThis mobile phone's viewing angles are, one might say, minimal. With a deviation of 15-20 degrees from the perpendicular to the display surface, the image is greatly distorted. Otherwise, the quality of the picture on it raises no complaints. The operating system of this device is proprietary, all applications on the Java platform are supported. Other features of this model include FM-radio (only works when headphones are connected, which is also an antenna) and an MP3 player. The interface set of this gadget is quite good:
- Bluetooth - allows you to easily exchange information with other mobile devices.
- Full support for 2nd and 3rd generation cellular networks. There is only one slot for a SIM card. There is also a built-in browser with which you can view Internet resources.
- Standard microUSB port performs two functions simultaneously: allows you to charge the battery and exchange data with a PC.
- A 3.5 mm jack is provided for connecting external speakers.
Autonomy
The nominal battery capacity is 1000 mAh for the Samsung 5610 phone. Characteristics, reviews indicate that this is quite enough for 3-4 days of intensive work in 2G networks. When switching to 3G, this value will decrease and on average it will already be 2-3 days. But if you use this device as an MP3 player, then one charge will last for 24 hours of continuous listening.
Don't forget that this is an ordinary mobile phone, which has a display diagonal of only 2.4 inches, it does not have a central processor. In general, everything is in order with the autonomy of this cell phone.
Camera and its features

Image resolution is 2560 x 1920 at maximum settings. There are also a number of modes, which allows you to get high-quality photos in almost all cases. But with video recording, the situation changes dramatically. The image resolution in this case is only 320 x 240. It is clear that a video with this quality on a large screen will be blurry and with “squares”. In general, there is an opportunity to record video, but then it is better not to watch it on a device with a higher resolution.
