Typical price: £160
What is it: 10-megapixel compact with face detection
What we think: Despite its improved features, its performance and photos come up lacking
What you need to know

We like:
Manual exposure controls; useful face detection features
We don't like:
Slow to shoot; photos are filled with noise at all but the lowest sensitivity settings; face detection is unreliable in low light
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Samsung S1050 proves to be its little brother's inferior in almost every way. While it offers greater resolution, a large screen and face-detection features, its downsides are simply far too great compared to the S850
