Samsung - X520 Review

X520

4th November 2006

The Samsung X520 is a low-cost an lightweight clamshell phone with a fairly basic feature set, wrapped up in an attractive and boldly designed package.

For the most part, the Samsung X520 is a really basic handset - there's a 128x160 pixel display in 65,000 colours, a VGA resolution camera (0.3 megapixels), but no Bluetooth, expandable memory or MP3 player (although the SGH-X520 does support MP3 ringtones). For on-the-move entertainment, the Samsung X520 comes with a built-in FM radio.

It's an attractive handset to look at, and it certainly looks different from most other Samsungs, althouth we have seen this ''rectangular'' look with the recent Samsung E420 and E870 phones, although it's more pronounced on the Samsung X520. The SGH-X520's bold two-colour design is simple enough, but quite striking to look at.

The specifications are certainly nothing to write home about, but it's a nice looking device and as it only weighs 78 grams, it's very lightweight too.

It's not a phone for technology freaks, but the SGH-X520's striking design and straightforward layout, combined with the light weight and (presumably) inexpensive price tag means that the Samsung X520 could be quite a popular phone for prepay/pay-as-you-go customers, and it will most likely be available in some regions in time for Christmas.
