Samsung L770 Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: The Samsung L770 is a 3G slide phone that comes with the standard range of features including a 2 megapixel camera, 3G video calling, a music player, FM radio, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and a memory card slot.
Best buy: Free from Three (Silver) or Three (Pink); or £109.99 on PAYG from Three (Silver) or Three (Pink).

The Samsung L770 is an upgraded version of the Samsung L760 and is a 3G slide phone in traditional Samsung style. Whereas the L760 came with a colourful makeover by British designer Ted Baker, the L770 has a standard metallic finish with a mirror screen. When we say that it's been upgraded, it's hard to see any real improvements, except that the camera now has a flash. The L770 weighs less, and is extremely light at just 84g, but the battery life seems to have got worse as a result.

If you want a smart 3G slider that's cheap and compact, then this ticks most boxes, but the poor battery life really lets it down. It's hard to see why Samsung felt the need to release yet another entry level slide phone into an already crowded product range. We'd stick with the Ted Baker phone instead.

Features of the Samsung L770 include:

  • 3G video calls
  • 2 megapixel camera with flash
  • Video camera - 2nd video camera for video calling
  • Display: TFT, 262,144 colours, 176 x 220 pixels (2.1 inches)
  • Music player (MP3, AAC, AAC+, e-AAC+, and WMA audio formats)
  • FM radio with RDS service
  • 72-voice polyphonic ringtones / MP3 ringtones
  • Messaging: SMS, MMS, email
  • Java games
  • Internet: WAP 2.0
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB 2.0
  • Memory: 30 Mbytes plus microSD memory card slot
  • Network: 3G with HSDPA 3.6 Mbps
  • Size: 103 x 48 x 14 mm
  • Weight: 84g
  • Talktime: 3 hours
  • Battery standby: 230 hours

Reviewed by EJV from UK on 27th Dec 2008
This phone is exclusive to 3 network.Its a superbly designed super-thin slider with good ergonomics,slide mechanism and keys.Thankfully Samsung has avoided their irritable touch sensitive keys in this phone.The screen is large and crisp.Ring tone and speakers are loud enough(as compared to few other Samsung sliders).Camera is mediocre.However,I do not use my phone for photos or music and hence cannot commend much on it. The only downside for this phone is its very poor battery life, the comeuppance for making a slider so thin .However, as I charge mine every night, it has never drained out. Its still a fabulous and beautiful phone:-)

I just started using it, and so far: There's NO flash, what do you look at ?! There's only dark menu skin, no light one. Keypad Lock can NOT be turned off. Menu in general is not very "logical" , like they had to make it in rush, "for yesterday". Gummy covers for plug/mem.card slots look like they'll fall off after some usage. Phone looks good, like tuxedo, simple and elegant. Keypad is good, only exterior left and right keys dont look like they'll last. Middle (5-way key) is very good, looks like it will last.
