Review: Samsung 1086 is cheap, very cheap!


Design
A bar of chocolate. This is the best definition of the phone. It is square with rounded corners all rubbery side. It seems to have been done to hit the ground.


The design is pretty simple, but at the same time is pretty good for a phone in this price range. The rubberized keyboard is very comfortable and also is virtually waterproof. Can not get out diving around him, but do not have to worry much about putting it in a bag during a rainstorm.

Features and performance
This unit does not want to even remotely compete with the iPhone, Galaxy S, Droid, and other devices smarter. Rather, it is aimed at people of simple life and who just want a phone to talk to other people.
Taking this into account, gives up to compliment your phone features: FM radio, U-Track and SOS Message. The FM radio has no secrets, just put the headset and access the menu and the radio listening to your favorite station to go to work.

The security features are very interesting. The first and the U-Track, which tracks your phone in case of theft. Fortunately we need not test this function, but it seems to be a great resource for anyone who has had his phone stolen.

The other is the SOS Message. If something happens to you he sends an SMS to a predefined number automatically. It is a feature that nobody wants to use again, but in an emergency is always welcome.

Fake call
Imagine the scenario: You have combined the evening with his girlfriend, but the boss insists on talking about the Poodle him after office hours. If you have a phone like this, just press a few buttons and wait quietly. He will play, you pick out and says it needs, which has a pressing engagement. It's the kind of resource that you will always find useless, unless you need it.
Phone features are just those that. Nothing touch mp3 or camera or bluetooth. It's just the basics for calling and receiving phone calls from friends.

Cost-benefit
A mobile phone that has camera, bluetooth and mp3 ringtones can cost or how much? $ 100? Be aware that this costs much less: it is usually found for free along with another unit and when available for sale, it costs between $ 50.00 and $ 90.00. Cheap, huh?
