Mobile Phone Reviews – Samsung Tocco Ultra

Samsung does have a knack for putting together some good looking phones – especially when mixing touch screen technology with keypad user-friendliness, and slide phone compactness. And, the Samsung Tocco Ultra shows off this talent well.

The AMOLED screen is bright, with vivid colours that pop out at you when you’re looking at it. The screen is a touch screen, so you can dial or text from either it or your keypad, depending upon your preference. The keypad itself is very user-friendly and it’s back lit. When carrying the phone, it feels sturdy and well-balanced, whether open or shut. And the phone is pleasant to look at – featuring a dark smoky black with an eye-pleasing hot red accent – or is that hot pink? On that one, the user has to decide, because the colour is a bit ambiguous – although it does look good. There is also a blue version available through limited sellers.

The key feature of this phone is the 8.0 megapixel camera. It is smashingly wonderful. Downfalls for this phone include the touch screen, which can be frustrating to use and the widget system. Also, there is no Wi-Fi or dedicated headphone jack. All-in-all, the Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition is a stylish way to bring together the worlds of touch screen and keypad. The camera is one of the best, but the touch screen interface is weak.

If you’re looking for mobile phone deals on a contract mobile phone, the Samsung Tocco Ultra is available free with a £25 pay monthly plan.
