Samsung R451c Review - Straight Talk and Net10



Samsung r451c released in mid-October, and is currently available for Net10 and Straight Talk. I've been using it with the Straight Talk service, and I'll give you a quick overview of this phone.

This phone was released shortly after a similar T401g Net10 phone, and it also includes a QWERTY keyboard. Besides the keyboard, has an MP3 player and 1.3 megapixel camera, very similar T401g. However, r451c does not include the camcorder.

slide-out QWERTY keyboard is a big selling point for many people who are considering this phone. This keyboard has four rows of keys, which are soft rubbery material.

I did not get this phone very much as I used T401g, but even my phone does not like the add-QWERTY keyboard. Especially if you do a lot of fabric, you will probably save you some time. As I mentioned in my review T401g, though, using the QWERTY pretty much requires you to use both hands to text. Of course, if you want to text with one hand you can always keep the slider is closed and use the regular keypad with T9 predictive text input.

Now, I'll give a description of other buttons on the Samsung r451c. On the left side of the rocker switch for volume control. On some models, these same keys can be used to change the ring volume when not on call, but this is not the case. In this model, there is a button to open the ring settings.

over on the right side of the dual-purpose shortcut key. It does not do anything when the phone is locked. If the phone is unlocked, a single click of a button loads the camera function. Or, if you press and hold the button, it will load the mp3 player.

Next up on the right side of the connector that is used for the charger and USB cable. I believe that he could work with a Samsung-branded stereo headphones, but I have not tried it personally.

On top of the phone has a standard headphone jack. This is a fairly universal connector type, but if you want to listen to music with stereo headphones, you will need to be careful to get the right connection. Most music uses the handset's 3.5mm jack, while the phone is usually 2.5mm headphones. I was also able to use the adapter with my regular music headphones for listening to mp3 player. Whatever you decide to do, just make sure you get the right size socket if you buy accessories for this phone.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the battery cover is a slot for microSD cards. You can use these cards to store MP3 and pictures, and to transfer files from your computer or other device.

Now, let's take a look at the mp3 player. This is almost identical to the player on T401g, and both players are better than Motorola EM326g. The sound is ok through the built-in speaker, which surprised me. Of course, if you listen very long, you'll probably want to use headphones. And Bluetooth is also an option for listening to music, if you have a stereo Bluetooth headset.

I know that the mp3 player is a big attraction for many people looking to upgrade their phone, so I wanted to say a bit more about it. Although the sound quality is good, this phone is probably not going to replace your standalone MP3 player or iPod.Playliste are difficult to use, and I could not get my songs to play I wanted - they are played in alphabetical order by song title. Even the songs played on the same album in alphabetical order, not order the album. Also, the player remembers where you left off when you close it. So, there are some significant drawbacks to a music player.

Finally, a bit about the camera - it's pretty standard. There are several features for editing you can do on the phone, but no digital zoom, so you have to do with photo editing software after fotografije.Kamera resolution is 1.3 megapixels, which is probably good enough to make small prints - 3 x 5 or 4 x 6, but certainly not more than that. So, it's pretty basic camera for a modern mobile phone.

Here is a quick review of Samsung r451c. To him, it's a pretty solid phone. In my testing, battery life and reception were very good, and the screen is big and bright. Call quality was quite good as EM326g or LG 290C, but it's still pretty good. And of course, the QWERTY keyboard makes the fabric is really easy. All in all, I like it. I'd give it 3.5 stars of 5

It currently sells for $ 80, and has recently been shown in some stores. It is also now available from Net10 website, where you can get it for $ 72 use discount codes recommend, and straight-talking version is available from the straight talk on the website.
