MOBILE WITH LONGEST BATTERY LIFE
My Rating- 2.5/5
This is my third review on a mobile. I have still 3 more that are left unreviewed :). And here I go with my latest review:
Due to my official assignments I used to travel a lot. And many times I don’t have options of charging my mobile so I start a quest for a mobile with long battery backup. There were many from China based companies but as I wanted to go with a reputed brand. My search ended with Samsung Guru E2370 Power. It boasts of its excellent battery backup, capable of providing a talk time of 22 hours and standby time of around 2 months.
Features Overview
Samsung Guru Power E2370 is a slim and stylish mobile powered by everlasting battery. It features VGA camera, MP3 Player, FM Radio, Video player, Mobile Prayer, Calendar, World Clock and Converter.
HardwareIt is having a 1.8 inch TFT screen with resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. The handset has got IP54 certification that means it possesses resistivity to water, dust and shocks, but it doesn’t mean that it will work under water. It is not water-proof mobile.
The handset has large convex keys made out of rubber which helps in typing easily and smoothly. It is having dimension of 112 x 49 x 19 mm and weighs 115 grams.
The handset has impressive music quality with dual Speakers present which are capable of handling noisy environment.
The phone’s VGA camera is just for namesake. You cannot expect it to give quality photographs. The camera has photo effects-Blue, Gray, Green, and Negative. It is also having video recording feature.
Although the phone supports GPRS, USB, Bluetooth and WAP connectivity but the connection speed is quite dissatisfying.
Software
The phone is Java enabled and thus has a capability of thrilling you with Java apps and games. The phone also has a Fake call utility which can be useful while coming out of a meeting or unwanted situations. Some other attractive features of the phone include a mobile tracker; torch light, convertor, calculator, stop watch etc.
Audio, Video and Music The phone supports audio & video playback. The sound quality is very clear and loud. Background music playback is not supported.
The incoming and out-going call quality is pretty sharp. The accessorial support of vibration alert and MP3 ringtones are also available.
Memory The phone has internal 40MB storage memory that is spacious enough to load good sum of data and other useful stuff. It also supports external 2GB micro SD memory card support allowing you to store lots of videos, contacts, messages, songs, images and lots more.
The phone supports 1000 phonebook entries & 1000 SMS.
Battery LifeIt is the USP of this mobile. The mobile is equipped with a powerful and long-lasting Standard Li-ion 2000mAh battery that ensures you the delivery of maximum stand by time upto 1600hrs and talk time upto 22hrs.
But I have checked the battery life and I found that the standby time is around 800hrs which is much less then claimed by Samsung. Still it is a good figure and suffices my requirements.
Games
It has got the exciting collection of pre-loaded games -Sudoku, Jumpboy, Cricket and Carrom. One will never feel bore with this compact box of entertainment plus communicating device. You can also download more interesting java-enabled games over internet.
Pros
1. 22hrs battery talk time
2. Micro SD memory card support
3. Keyboard which makes typing very easy
4. GPRS & EDGE connectivity features
5. Stereo FM radio with RDS & FM recording
6. MP3 player
7. One-touch button LED Torch
8. Robust body with water, dust and shocks resistivity
9. Low-price.
Cons
1. Poor camera quality
2. No USB cable or software CD with the phone
3. Little overweight and bulky
4. Memory card not hot swappable
5. Internet connectivity very slow
Verdict
It is a powerful handset and worth its price. I bought it online from flipkart.com at price of Rs 2850 in an offer and got an additional battery with it. Just imagine the battery power of this phone with two batteries :).
However, it does not have any fancy looks. It looks like an age-old handset but it is an excellent bargain for people who make long journeys.
As per my knowledge, this is the mobile with longest battery backup from a reputed multinational company
Truly speaking, this is a phone mainly designed for those who treat phone only to be a source which helps you to remain connected always.
