An affordable touchscreen for everyone
The era of affordable touchphones has come! Now the touch screen does not mean that the phone belongs to the elite products with the corresponding price tag. Such a device should be available to everyone! A striking example of this is the Samsung S5230 La Fleur. The large 3-inch widescreen TFT touchscreen with a resolution of 240x400 pixels and capacitive technology is offered at a reasonable price that will pleasantly surprise you.Finger-based TouchWiz interface
It is a pleasure to operate the device, the TouchWiz interface is sharpened for operation with your fingers, a light touch and the device unquestioningly follows your command. The device runs on its own OS with a wide range of additional applications that cover all typical needs - working with documents (PDF, MS Office), e-mail, social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Vkontakte, etc.), viewing multimedia files and much more.Flexible ergonomic widgets
Customize your desktops as you see fit. On one of them you can put your favorite contacts, on the other - shortcuts to the main applications, and on the next - a variety of widgets. With the help of the latter, you can receive up-to-date weather reports, news from social networks, listen to radio and music. Many additional widgets are available for download from the manufacturer's website.Everything you need is at hand
Despite its affordable cost, the Samsung GT-S5230 La Fleur has a tempting list of additional features. Go online and exchange data thanks to the support of EDGE, Bluetooth 2.1. Capture interesting moments with the built-in 3.2 megapixel camera. Listen to FM radio and your favorite music, which can be stored on any microSD memory card.Slim style
Externally, Samsung La Fleur S5230 is very similar to the iPhone. It is as thin, neat and graceful with a minimum of unnecessary elements. A solid lacquered front surface is combined with a practical textured back. Due to its light weight of 94 grams and modest dimensions, the phone fits perfectly in the hand and fits into any pockets. The perfect combination of a modern touchscreen in a compact design at an attractive price point.Excellent autonomy
It would seem that a large touchscreen should consume a lot of power. Nevertheless, the 1000 mAh battery of the Samsung S 5230 La Fleur lasts at least three days. And if you use your phone sparingly, you can charge it once every 4-5 days. Together with fast charging, the autonomy of this touchphone is one of the best in its class.More recently, touchscreen displays seemed like something supernova, and no one would have thought that they would enter our daily life so quickly. If previously only premium-class devices were equipped with them, now any, even budget, smartphone model has.However, a similar approach was noticed at one time with the support of such an audio format as MP3. What is all this for? And besides, the GT-S5230, the characteristics of which will be given in this review, belongs to this type of device.
Main technical parameters
The device works in second generation cellular networks. The diagonal of the screen is three inches. The device is equipped with one camera module, its resolution is 3.2 megapixels. The built-in memory for storing user information is 50 megabytes. There is the possibility of expansion through the use of external microSD drives up to 8 gigabytes. A lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1000 milliampere-hour is used as a source of autonomous work. The smartphone is presented in a classic form factor.
Device creation history
We used to navigate between phones and smartphones right at the time when the first devices were equipped with touch screens. However, this is not entirely accurate. The fact is that smartphones have their own operating systems with a wide range of distinctive functionalities. But the model we are talking about today is nothing more than a phone with a touchscreen display. At one time, LG released a device that literally undermined the inaccessibility of touchscreen phones for huge masses of buyers. It was the KR500 model. Actually, for the South Korean company, this became the starting point. A symmetrical response to the advancement of the KP500 device by LG was the creation in 2011 of the Samsung La Fleur GT-S5230 phone, the description of which can be found in today's review.
Exterior
La Fleur GT-S5230 can be called compact. It is this opinion that arises already upon the first acquaintance with the model. Most likely, this feeling is created due to the fact that the case is quite thin. People who decided to try using the device wondered for a long time how light it was. Most likely, many of them expected that the touchscreen display would increase the size, but in reality everything turned out differently. There is no need to talk about control: it is convenient to use the phone with both one hand and two.
Manufacturing materials
The material for the manufacture of La Fleur Samsung GT-S5230 is mainly plastic. It is not very high-quality, it will not be difficult to get fingerprints on the back or front panel. However, the lid has a bizarre pattern, and thanks to this, the prints are not striking. But here's the bad luck: what to do with the front panel? There is no pattern on it. And we have no choice but to endure or simply not pay attention to this lack of attention. Other few elements are made of metal. This is, in particular, the insert under the display, as well as the bezel of the front panel.
Control elements
There are not many controls in La Fleur Samsung GT-S5230. Among them are traditional keys. They are designed, as you might have guessed, to receive or drop a voice call, return back, take a picture with the camera application active, and also lock the screen. Of course, there was a coupled key for adjusting the volume or sound mode. These controls are located under the screen of the device, as well as on its side faces. The communication connector is located under the volume buttons.
Screen
The TFT matrix in La Fleur Samsung GT-S5230 is made using resistive technology. To be honest, this is a bit even a surprising fact, because manufacturers at that time tried to implement capacitive displays as much as possible. It is even more interesting that in the closest competitor to the model, the matrix is also resistive. In general, this does not lend itself to a logical explanation, one can only guess why the Koreans decided to keep up with their competitors, and not step over them in this direction. In any case, it should be noted that the resistive matrix has not only its disadvantages, but also advantages. In our case, this is a response to touching with other objects, not just fingers. However, the scope of delivery does not include a stylus for such purposes.
Resolution and quality
The display of La Fleur Samsung GT-S5230 is 240 by 400 pixels. The picture is displayed as WQVGA. For mid-range phones that are equipped with touch screens, such a resolution becomes standard. The color rendition is at the level, the shades look quite natural. Of course, the display is not the best of those that have competitors in the segment. Brightness is sufficient when working indoors, but the screen will definitely fade when switched to bright sunlight.
Functionality
The phone is based on a platform that is standard for many devices from the South Korean manufacturer. There is a set of widgets that can be laid out on the screen in standby mode. By the way, their set is also standard for a Samsung device. We are talking about widgets for displaying time and date, links to the most frequently used functions. Developers and services of the standard online were not spared. This is, first of all, news and weather. Additionally, there are smaller versions of the player and notes.
Differences
What has changed compared to other versions? Probably the fact that the screen with widgets cannot be scrolled from bottom to top or vice versa. It now scrolls both left-to-right and right-to-left. Is this solution practical? Quite, since now you can create three sets of widgets at the discretion of the user, and at the same time they will not overlap, because the place and placement will be optimized with the maximum coefficient. To move between pages of widgets, literally one slide with your finger to the side is enough. Already here the first inclinations appeared, later implemented in the Android operating system. These are three small squares that are located at the bottom. They are needed so that the user can accurately determine which page he is on now.
Promptness
Another argument that gives us reason to positively evaluate the work with widgets is the speed of their work and movement on screens. Processing does not last so long, everything is within the bounds of decency, lags or "brakes" were not noticed during repeated tests. In similar devices, working with widgets takes more time. Here we can draw another conclusion: to a greater extent, the work with these elements does not depend on how powerful the filling of the device is, but on what version of the firmware is installed in this device.
Typing
There is no physical keyboard unit in this device. This means that you can only type text using the touch screen. The user can select one of the input options. The most popular and convenient layout is 12 positions. By the way, it should be noted that the keys themselves are quite large. You can get on them, even using only fingers, what can we say about working with a stylus? There should be no false clicks.
The phone is equipped with an accelerometer, which is triggered when the device is turned. The keyboard will be automatically redrawn. However, this will make the keys slightly smaller. In order not to make mistakes when entering, you can follow the prompts that will notify the user about which character has been entered.
