Samsung Corby s3650 Review

The S3650 Corby is tech-savvy and fresh - just like its target audience. And this entry level touchscreen seems to quite nicely suit both the user's liking and bill-payer's budget.

The S3650 Corby is for youngsters that are keen on technology, for active social networkers, for those who like to personalize and customize. The budget price implies no fancy stuff but the wide range of features is absolutely relevant to the target audience. There're two extra Jackets in the retail box to make the time spent with the S3650 Corby even more personal experience.

On the social side, the Samsung S3650 Corby offers Facebook, MySpace and Twitter integration, while photo and video sharing are taken care of with direct uploads to YouTube, Flickr, Picasa and Photobucket. You can update your status on the various social networking sites and receive updates from your friends via a neat pop-up notification feature. All that is a tap away on the 2.8" capacitive touchscreen.

“Pop-up SNS” interface that allows you to keep tabs on what your buddies on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are doing at the moment. The current social networking functions of our prototype boil down to uploading pictures and videos to different networks and, except for the above mentioned providers, you have Flickr, YouTube, Picasa, Photobucket and Friendster as well.
We quite like the Photo contacts. The list gets automatically filled in with your most frequently dialed contacts and we must say this is really comfy, since you don’t need to do it manually. Unfortunately, the Samsung Corby S3650 lacks screen QWERTY keyboard, probably because its display is not large enough.

The phone audio player is pretty much the same as the version on other TouchWiz handsets and feels comfy enough, plus you will also get an FM Radio with RDS that features audio recognition. The camera itself is equipped with 2-megapixel sensor, but comes without flash. Still, we are really impressed by its speed. The average time between two consecutive shots is less than a second and this means you can take pictures like really fast, so you can be sure you won´t miss a single interesting moment at parties.As for loudspeaker performance, the S3650 Corby scored a very good mark.

The Samsung S3650 Corby also supports multitasking, which means that Java applications can be minimized to run in the background. However, there is no hardware key to allow you to switch between the apps, which certainly makes multitasking much less of a treat.

Samsung have also enabled the S3650 Corby with the Smart unlock feature, previously known as Gesture lock. Smart unlock allows users to simultaneously unlock the phone and open a menu item, application - even dial a contact - just by drawing a letter on the unlock screen.

The audio output of the Samsung S3650 Corby is pretty pleasing, save for one minor flaw. The stereo crosstalk reading in our traditional test came up pretty poor, suggesting some leakage between the two channels. However since this is purely a mechanical problem we are suspecting that it is mainly due to the pre-release status of our unit and it might as well be taken care of in the final version.

The Samsung S3650 Corby features a 2 megapixel fixed focus camera for maximum image resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels.

The camera does not have auto-focus, but it sports the nice Smile shot feature. As soon as the person smiles, the handset takes the shot for you automatically.

The camera interface is nicely touch-optimized and is certainly among the most comfortable camera interfaces on a touchscreen device.

The Samsung S3650 Corby, like the Samsung S8000 Jet, features the new WebKit-based Dolfin web browser, which is a home-brew application. With full Flash support and the new one-finger zooming algorithm, it is one of the finest web browsers we have seen on a feature phone.

The one-finger zooming works like a charm too. Of course you can also rely on double tapping a block of text or an image and the handset will automatically zoom in to it. Another double tap and you are back to the previous zoom level.

The S3650 Corby is a simple, affordable and attractive touchscreen with modest but very focused feature set. It is designed to be small, to suit the social needs of youngsters and to be trendy. Its styling and Fashion Jackets are quite relevant too.
