Samsung Tocco Lite Review

The Samsung Tocco Lite aims to take the touchscreen to the streets. Its biggest drawback is its lack of support for 3G, but it’s a surprisingly good phone, considering its bargain price. Its resistive touchscreen is vivid and snappy, and it’s got some fun widgets to keep things interesting.

The Lite is available from free on a £12-per-month contract with Virgin Media, or from £130 on Virgin Media’s pay-as-you-go plan.

Screen everywhere and not a vid to see
The Lite is a pocket-friendly phone that mostly consists of screen. By ditching the keypad, Samsung has managed to fit a 72mm (3-inch) touchscreen onto a palm-sized pipsqueak.

The screen is bright, with bold colours — although it’s no match for the AMOLED screen of its much more expensive cousin, the Tocco Ultra. It’s also a resistive touchscreen, which we usually hate – – you need to exert pressure to make them respond, and they feel rather squishy, so they seem less responsive than capacitive touchscreens. But the Lite impressed us with its responsiveness. We found typing and dialling pleasant and quick, and we didn’t feel the need to press hard with a fingernail or stylus. For such an inexpensive phone, the quality of the screen was a very pleasant surprise.

With such a good screen, Web browsing and watching videos should be a pleasure. But the Lite has no 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity, so it’s slow to get online or download files. We tried out some YouTube videos and they were a tiny, garbled mess because of the extreme compression required. We also tried getting videos on the phone using the USB connection, but the Lite isn’t as easy to sync as other Samsung phones we’ve tried — our computer struggled to recognise it. We think your best bet is to invest in a microSD card and load that up with your media instead.

We found the Lite’s resistive touchscreen surprisingly responsive

The Lite has a proprietary headphone jack and no adaptor, so we weren’t able to test its music player with high-quality headphones. It comes with a pair of very basic, plastic earbuds with a hands-free microphone, and, unfortunately, you’ll be stuck with them. But the Lite does support a good range of audio formats, from MP3 to WAV, and it also has an FM radio.

Steady cam
The 3.2-megapixel camera doesn’t have a flash or LED photo light, so it’s no surprise that it struggles in low light, producing very noisy photos. We were happy with the snaps taken in good light, however. As long as we used a steady hand, we were able to capture acceptable close-ups and shots from further away. Colour and exposure are satisfactory, especially considering this phone’s low price.

The Lite puts a good range of camera settings at your disposal, including a smile-detection and panorama mode. Those modes aren’t super-fast, but the smile detection caught our pearly whites perfectly. There’s also a photo editor so that you can adjust, crop and add effects to your snaps.

We sometimes found navigating between the different options difficult, because of the obscure menu icons and lack of labels. Also, some features — like zooming in — aren’t available when you view a photo from the camera. Instead, you have to close the camera and open the photo gallery to get that crucial option, and that’s a waste of time.

Once you’re happy with your snaps, you can take advantage of the phone’s built-in links to Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, Photobucket and Friendster (it’s big in Asia) to get them off the phone. Uploads are pretty slow, thanks to the lack of 3G connectivity, but our tests using Facebook worked without a hitch.

Community matters
The Lite also offers quick links to social-networking sites via a dedicated section in the menu, and widgets that you can drag onto to the home screens. But they’re just links to mobile versions of the Web sites — not built-in applications — so they’re not very impressive.

Some of the widgets available are more useful, such as the weather widget, which shows live updates, or the music player, which lets you control your music from the home screen. We just wish that live updates from sites like Facebook had been included too. It’s also easy to accidentally slide the widgets around the screen with your finger. The Samsung i8910 HD has a lock function to stop this from happening, and it would be good if the Lite had that as well.

Keep on trucking
The Lite’s battery kept us tapping for ages, and was barely dented even after a full day’s testing. Combined with its clear, loud call quality, and responsive dialling screen, the Tocco Lite has the phone basics covered very well.

Conclusion
Compared to other phones in its price range, Samsung’s Tocco Lite is an impressive handset. Although its touchscreen is resistive, it’s pleasant to use and responsive, and dialling and texting poses no problems. The user interface is confusing in places, but, for the most part, Samsung has kept it simple. The biggest drawback is the Lite’s lack of 3G support, which sometimes leaves you feeling like you’re slowly plodding through a muddy field in a pair of wellies.

Samsung Beat DJ Retailer Review

THE GOOD: It looks unique and is easy to use with a sensitive         touch-screen                                                                                                                                THE BAD: It lacks stand out and doesn’t have Wi-Fi capabilities                                           The W995 has been widely heralded as the beginning of Sony Ericsson’s comeback, and sports a strong multimedia mix by combining photo, video and music features. The phone includes an eight-megapixel camera with LED flash, 3G and Wi-Fi, push-email, a 3.5mm audio jack, as well as speakers and an 8GB memory card in the box. It also comes with the option to stream 60 films via the manufacturer’s PlayNow service. But will Sony Ericsson be able to refresh its brand with the W995?

Though categorised as a Walkman phone, the camera is a major selling point. The Phones 4u salesman says: ‘It’s a Walkman handset but they’re promoting the camera strongly – it’s good that it’s a bit of both.’ The 3 salesman says: ‘The photography aspect is great, the phone even looks like a camera.’ The O2 salesman says: ‘It’s the smallest eight-megapixel camera phone available.’ However, the Carphone salesman points out a possible drawback: ‘The pictures look great on a computer but not on the screen – it is too small.’

Looking good
Looks wise, the phone draws praise from the panel. The Carphone salesman says: ‘I really like the silver version.’ The 3 salesman says: ‘It’s got a small and dinky look to it.’ The O2 salesman says: ‘Sometimes, Sony Ericsson handsets can feel a bit plastic, but this is really solid.’ The Phones 4u salesman is the least enthused: ‘It looks similar to other Sony Ericsson phones, they’ve just changed the colours.’

The phone’s usability impresses some of the panel. The Phones 4u salesman says: ‘It’s very simple and very easy.’ The O2 salesman agrees, and adds: ‘They’ve done away with the tab setting and the navigation of the phone is much simpler.’

Overall, the multimedia functions on the W995 leave a lasting impression. The 3 salesman says: ‘It’s a brilliant camera and music handset.’ The Phones 4u salesman thinks ‘the sound quality is amazing’, and the Carphone salesman says: ‘It’s a media phone that is perfect for the youth market.’ The O2 salesman exclaims: ‘If I wasn’t selling someone an iPhone, I’d sell them this.’
