Posted by: CameraPhonesPlaza in Samsung
Samsung Instinct s30 comes in a sleek and very attractive design has also improvements when it comes to the internal memory and the touch screen interface is also more attractive. Unfortunately, the phone still lacks Wi-Fi and the camera editing options, but if you don’t need those anyways, you can still give the phone a try.

If you place the original Samsung Instinct next to the Samsung Instinct s30, you will see they have mostly the same shape, just that the last one has an aerodynamic profile, rounded corners and smoother lines. It is indeed better-looking and it measures 4.57 inches tall by 2.11 inches wide by 0.48 inch and it weights 3.88 ounces, being also a bit lighter as well. It has a better feel when you hold it in your hands and it is a bit more compact.

As for the touch screen, there is one inch added, and now it measures 3.2”. You will not notice the difference that much, because the screen has the same resolution and it supports the same amount of colors (432x240 and 262.000 colors). And when it comes to navigation through the menu, there is nothing changed as well. The memory slot is on the left side of the phone and there is still the Samsung proprietary jack and not the 3.5mm headset jack. What is more, when it comes to features, you will mostly find the same as the original phone. Samsung Instinct s30 comes with stereo Bluetooth, personal organizer, GPS, PC syncing, FM radio, HTML browser; POP3 e-mail, messaging, and USB mass storage. In the phone book you can add up to 600 contacts and for each contact you can assign images and ringtones. The two megapixels camera might not have editing options, but when it comes to photo quality, you will be slightly impressed.

And now for the new features added, you can enjoy Opera 4.2 browser, up to 32GB external memory (in the first case there was 16GB), instant messaging as well. Remember the nice feature related to the extra battery that charged itself in its case? Well, with this new mobile phone, the feature is long gone. Call quality is improved and the signal is clearer. You will be able to hear the caller loud and clear, but don’t try the highest volume level, because you will be deaf. The phone can really get loud. The speakerphone is reasonable, even though here the level is not as high as expected and in some situations the sound can get muffed. Opera Mini is known for uploading web pages faster and for benefiting from some great features that are available n full-mode, computer that is. And finally, as for the music quality, you will find it reasonable and once you get some headphones, you will really getting the groove.

To conclude, the battery life is rated at 4.6 hours in talk time, less than the previous model, but you will be able to get more, don’t worry. There are some ups and downs when it comes to Samsung s30, but in any case, it will depend on you and what you are looking for in a cell phone.
