Samsung SCH-A850 Review
The Samsung SCH-A850 is a true combination of technological advances in the cellular industry, while remaining a reliable piece of equipment capable of performing the necessary tasks asked of any cellular phone in today’s society. It is very important that cell phones are able to provide the user with a reliable and long-lasting existence, while still offering the user ways of amusement and entertainment via the growing number of extra functions found on today’s cellular phones. The SCH-A850 is no different at supplying any of these functions, especially with its attractive design and many functions, including the popular camera feature, which is growing among cell phone users. Below is a thorough description of the many features the SCH-A850 includes and more importantly, how the phone functions and can be expected to last when all of its components are taken into account.
Samsung SCH-A850 Phone Functions
The SCH-A850 weighs in at an impressive 108 grams, which is very light, especially for cellular phones that include the camera capability, which does tend to add a little bit of weight onto the total. The phone has the standard chrome inlay, while having both chrome and black trim on the outer level of the piece. It adheres to Samsung’s traditional “clamshell” shaped, which is curved, but still manages to keep the phone sleek and worthy of another look. The phone has closed dimensions of 84 X 25 mm, which again, is an impressive measurement considering all the features the phone offers, especially camera function.
The SCH-A850 comes fully-equipped with an external and internal LCD screen, both of which are good for determining those calling, viewing texts and incoming messages, and also keeping track of the time. The internal screen has a pixel size of 128 X 160, while the external monochrome screen has a pixel size of 96 X 64, which is very generous, especially for an external phone screen. The phone also comes complete with an alarm, a ringer identification system, a calendar, a calculator, and a hearing aid compatibility rating of M3, which rates it compatible for most accentuated hearing devices. The phone also comes with BREW software that allows it to run and download many programs other phones cannot. The SCH-A850 comes with its own custom games and graphics, which can also be upgraded due to the BREW software. The SCH-A850 also comes with the ability to communicate through wireless Internet via WAP technology, which comes in useful when the user needs specific information or access to pictures in a short amount of time.
Ring tones are very much in fashion these days, and the SCH-A850 does not let down the consumer with the different ring functions that it comes with. The phone comes with the ability to play 32 different polyphonic chords, which makes almost any downloaded ring possible. The phone also comes with its own library of custom ring tones, specific only to Samsung’s latest line of cellular hardware. The phone contains the standard vibration function, which is perfect for libraries and theatres. The phone has the ability to perform the standard voice-dialing task, but becomes even more impressive with its ability to take voice memos from the user, and also the voice control function, which are ideal in the business environment for personal notes, reminders, or any other information the user might need. The SCH-A850 has a phone book capacity of 500 names, with the ability to store 6 numbers for each stored name. The voice-dialing entries are limited to 20 different people, which is pretty standard for most cell phones able to perform such a function.
The SCH-A850’s camera has the ability to take still pictures and short time periods of moving pictures, which is a definite plus for any cell phne. The camera has a resolution of 640 X 480, and is able to control the white balance, while also containing a self timer, which is essential for certain shots thought to be impossible to other phones. The phone also has the speaker phone function, which comes in handy when trying to communicate during a task, or with more than one person. The always necessary up and down keys are located on the left of the phone, by the camera, while the speaker phone keys can be found near on the right side of the phone.
Samsung SCH-A850 Standard Operations
The primary functions of a cell phone can be a large factor in what persuades a user to purchase the product, but usually, the most important factor when making a purchase is the ability of the phone to perform the everyday necessary tasks that any phone absolutely must perform. The SCH-850 has no problem attracting users with a talk-time battery life of up to 3.3 hours, while having a standby lifetime of 170 hours (7.1 days). The phone is run by the lithium ion 1000 mah battery, which is a standard and reliable source of energy for many cell phones in the industry.
Another interesting and modern feature that is increasingly found on cell phones is the ability to carry a GPS signal, which is ideal for travel situations. The phone supports both English and Spanish languages, which is a must in today’s modern society. The SCH-A850 carries the CDMA 850 band (800/850), which has become the standard among most company’s choices for communication.
Samsung gives the consumer many options for accessories compatible with the SCH-A850 model. The travel adapter and travel charger are products that are easy to carry while still being able to adequately carry out the task at hand. The desktop cradle charger is a tool that meets the common home phone charger with a little bit of extra class and space, so the phone is never able to fall or be damaged during the charge. There is the vehicle phone charger, and the hands-free capable headset, which is a growing commodity in a more hands-off, multitasking market. The Over-the-Ear hands-free set is comparable to any of the other products used by other phones, but is unrivaled at providing comfort during an important conversation.
The SCH-A850 is a phone ready for the task of easily helping the user through everyday life and some of the everyday problems that everyone encounters. It carries tools compatible for running the Internet and various programs, which is necessary in business, but also necessary just to relax and have fun. The SCH-A850 does not seem any different than other cell phones at first glance, but it definitely does not disappoint in supplying the customer with a reliable tool good for any user looking for reliability in an attractive, compact package.
The ABCD tones are additional DTMF tones that may be used in any way the standard (0-9) tones are used. These tones are generated using a Silver Box and sometimes used by mobile telephony.
