Samsung E1150 review
The Samsung E1150 can hold its head high when compared to similarly priced budget phones. Its minimalist design, decent call performance and lengthy battery life mean it offers great value for money, although some users may find its lack of connectivity too hard to swallow. Read more

Samsung Tocco Lite 2 review
Want to read how not to make a smart phone? The Samsung Tocco Lite 2 purports to be one, but frankly, it's making promises it can't keep. Read more

Samsung S5600 review
The S5600 aims to offer a decent touchscreen experience at a rock-bottom price, and it does an admirable job of it. Wi-Fi connectivity is lacking, but it feels surprisingly upmarket, it's speedier than you might expect, and it offers a good range of features Read more

Samsung E1360 review
With Bluetooth and GPRS on board, the Samsung E1360 is better connected than its low-cost mobile rivals, although these bonuses are mitigated by underwhelming battery life. Read more

Samsung Tocco Lite review
Considering how inexpensive it is, the Tocco Lite packs plenty of punch. The lack of 3G connectivity is disappointing, but Samsung's squeezed a vibrant, responsive touchscreen into a pocket-friendly phone that has all the basics covered and offers some more advanced features too Read more

Samsung B2100 Solid Extreme review
People prone to breaking their phone by dropping it, or those who like to chat underwater, will probably appreciate the ruggedised B2100 Solid Extreme. Besides its built-in torch, it doesn't pack many features, but it's inexpensive and knows how to take a beating Read more

Samsung Galaxy Apollo GT-i5801 review
If you can't afford a high-end Android smart phone, the cheaper Galaxy Apollo GT-i5801 is definitely worth a perusal instead. It runs version 2.1 of Android, offers a responsive capacitive touchscreen, and trumps most of the competition when it comes to battery life. Consider us impressed Read more

Samsung E1080 review
The Samsung E1080 isn't as pretty as its close relation, the E1170, but it does offer the same excellent battery life and combines it with a well-built and rugged casing. The lack of a camera, absence of connectivity and disappointing screen count against it, though. Read more

Samsung Galaxy Pro review
The Samsung Galaxy Pro's keyboard is undeniably fantastic but, otherwise, this Android phone is disappointing, with its screen being particularly poor. Its low price and half-decent camera are some compensation, but there are better phones to be had. Read more

Samsung Genio Qwerty review
Aimed at youngsters, the Genio Qwerty offers a full Qwerty keyboard in a slim package. The keyboard is fairly cramped but it's a well-designed handset otherwise, with a quirky but appealing interface, and well-implemented social-networking features Read more
