Samsung Monte S5620 Review

The Samsung Monte S5620 is Samsung’s attempt at putting a phone with smart phone technology into a smaller form factor. Being only slightly wider than a regular phone, it lacks the usual keyboard and is completely touch screen. The screen however is only 240x400 and that screams budget. The touchwiz interface means you’ll be using widgets to navigate your way around the screen, as is the case on many Samsung mobile phones in this category. It’s not that touchwiz is bad, it’s just seems fairly dated compared to newer smart phone technology.

A Samsung Monte S5620 review shows the phone to be pre-loaded with social networking widgets such as YouTube and FaceBook. You also have shortcuts via a widget to phone functions and apps.

Apart from the cheap display that tends to give you a small vibration when you press buttons, the design is actually good and fits into your hand nicely. Being a small form factor, it will also slip into your pocket nicely. The camera is good, although only 3.5MP, and the battery life is excellent for this type of mobile phone. Lastly the Samsung Monte S5620 also manages a strong 3G signal, meaning browsing should be fast.
