The S5200: A Classic Samsung Feature Phone
The S5200 was a feature phone released by Samsung in June 2009. Despite being discontinued now, it was quite popular during its time, offering useful features and a sleek design.
Simple Design but Powerful Capabilities
Weighing only 97g and with dimensions of 104 x 49 x 10.9 mm, the S5200 was extremely lightweight and compact. It featured a mini-SIM slot and a 2.1-inch TFT display with 16M colors. While its screen-to-body ratio may seem low at first glance, the vibrant colors and crisp resolution of 240 x 320 pixels made up for it.
The device had a dedicated microSDHC slot for storage expansion, and it could hold up to 1000 contacts in its phonebook along with call records and photos. And while the internal storage was limited to 50MB, it could be easily expanded with the use of a microSDHC card.
A Decent Camera and Other Features
The S5200 had a 3.15 MP rear camera with LED flash and the ability to record videos in 320p resolution. While this may not seem impressive by today's standards, it was quite good back in 2009. Unfortunately, the device did not have a front-facing camera for selfies.
In terms of sound, the S5200 had a loudspeaker but no 3.5mm jack for headphones. This could be inconvenient for some users who preferred using their own headphones. It also lacked features such as Wi-Fi, GPS, and sensors, but it did have Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio, and support for Java games.
Long Battery Life and Affordable Price
The S5200 was powered by a removable Li-Ion 800 mAh battery that could last up to 5 hours of talk time and up to 300 hours on standby. This was quite impressive for a feature phone and made it a reliable choice for long trips or busy days.
One of the best things about the S5200 was its affordability. With a price tag of only 100 EUR, it offered all the necessary features of a phone without breaking the bank.
Conclusion
The Samsung S5200 may not be the most advanced device in today's market, but it definitely left its mark during its time. Its simple design, decent camera, and useful features made it a popular choice among users. And even though it has been discontinued, it is still remembered as a classic Samsung feature phone.
