The phone that caters to the mass market, yet offering the key features of an all-around phone, at not to mention a small touch screen phone, the Samsung Champ sure fits to that.
When I say small, I mean 3.79 x 2.12 x 0.51 inch dimension and weighing only 2.82oz or 80g. As mentioned, it has a 2.4’’ resistive touchscreen with the QVGA 240x320 pixels resolution. Champ’s display though does not have top notch quality but makes every cent you pay worth it. 3 buttons are available at the front; the send/call key, back key, and end call/power key. Another key feature of the Champ is its dual speakers located at the top and bottom of the screen which ensure stereo audio experience.
At the back is a 1.3MP fixed focus camer and a stylus compartment. On the top side is the 3.5 audio jack making it compatible with your favorite speakers and headphones. A microUSB port can also be found here for charging or connecting it to you PC. The right side has the Sleep/Wake/Unlock button while the left side has the volume control.
With texting, users might be uncomfortable at first with its small scale keypad. But after some time you’ll find easy since you don’t need to put too much effort for texting. Also available is a QWERTY keypad function although I doubt anyone would prefer it over the standard key since it’s too small. Up to 300 messages could be stored.
Another key feature of the Samsung Champ is its wireless FM Radio. Unlike most phones, the Champ doesn’t require any cord for the FM radio feature to function. you can place it anywhere without worrying about any cord problem.
The Samsung Champ has MicroSD slot which could carry upto 8GB. This is perfect for music lovers and those who like keeping all files in one piece. The battery is also amazing for a small phone. I text a lot and play music and roughly charge 2 times a week.
The Samsung Champ truly is the Champ against all cheap touch phones available in the market. Excluding the wifi feature of most phones today, it basically has everything you need. With this phone which sells for like Php 4,000 to Php 5000 right now, you won’t regret grabbing the Samsung Champ.
