When it comes to Samsung cell phones, it’s clear that Samsung loves to make mid-range camera phones and slim slider phones with flip design. One of the most popular cell phone models made by Samsung is the Samsung Sway cell phone, known as the Samsung SCH-U650. This cell phone comes with the same tried-and-true design, being silver, thin and attractive. Launched in October 2006, it is available on the market for a price of $69 with a two-year contract.

As we said, the Samsung Sway cell phone comes with the same combination between thinness and sliders design. The result is a practical and attractive handset. The slider case is made of resistant plastic and has 4.15 x 1.96 x 0.47 inches in dimensions and 3.56 ounces in weight. With these values, the Sway feels comfortable in your hands and fits excellent in any pocket. The front side of the phone hosts a TFT display and some hardware buttons for menu navigation: two soft keys, a D-Pad, a Clear key and the classic Call and End buttons.



On the sides you will notice a volume rocker, a jack/charger port, a camera shutter and a microSD card slot. When you slide the phone, a numerical pad appears. The keys of this numerical pad are large and flat, very responsive and offer a great positive feedback so you can easily and very comfortably write your messages. These keys will not allow you to make mistakes when you’re typing messages by pressing the wrong buttons. As we said, the Samsung Sway cell phone is equipped with a 2.2 inches TFT display which has a native resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and supports 262K colors. The images are sharp, the text is readable and the colors are bright. Like all TFT displays, this one is not very visible under direct sunlight. On the back side of the slider a 2 Megapixel camera is placed, capable of taking pictures at a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels and recording VGA clips at a speed of 15 fps.  This camera also includes options like self-portrait mirror, self-timer, adjustable ISO, spot metering, white-balance and brightness controls, auto-shot, multi-shot, night mode and digital zoom. With all these, this camera is capable of taking good quality pictures with good level of details. For storing your files, the Sway offers 50 MB of free space and a microSD card slot which allows you to extend the memory up to 2 GB.



For communication, the Samsung Sway cell phone offer GSM, GPRS and EDGE connectivity features plus Bluetooth, USB and microSD card slot. The external speaker offers a clear sound with a satisfactory volume while the ear-speaker offers clear and intelligible sound during calls. Other features which come with this cell phone are voice commands, stereo Bluetooth, USB mass storage, M4 hearing-aid compatibility, PC syncing, instant messaging and support for VZ Navigator. The Sway comes equipped with a Li-Ion 870 mAh battery which assures a battery life of 4 hours and 30 minutes of conversations and up to 13 days in standby mode. Anyway, even if this cell phone doesn’t come with many powerful features to satisfy all your needs, it will certainly be capable to keep up with your basic tasks. So, if you need a cheap, practical and beautiful cell phone, the Samsung Sway cell phone is the solution.
