For just about $50, you can’t go wrong
with the Samsung Focus Flash, one of the best smartphones that is
available in that price range. The Samsung Focus Flash runs the Mango
7.5 operating system, the much improved Windows mobile operating system.
In the passages below, we will give you a better insight in to the
Samsung Focus Flash specs.
Samsung Focus Flash specs
The Good about the Samsung Focus Flash specs
The biggest strength about the Samsung Focus Flash is the price point. If you have just $50 to spend and want a snazzy looking smartphone that can also pack a mean performance, you will probably not find anything that is better than the Samsung Focus Flash. The other good things about the Samsung Focus Flash specs is that it comes with a Super AMOLED screen and a very fast and zippy 1.4 GHz single core processor. Even more impressive is the fact that the Samsung Focus Flash specs also include HSPA+ support, provided by AT&T. The Windows 7.5 operating system, dubbed as the Mango, is a pretty good user interface that will be a welcome change if you can’t afford phones with the Android operating system and iOS. Even at this really low price tag, Samsung have somehow managed to include two cameras as part of the Samsung Focus Flash specs. So, video calling is a definite possibility.
The Bad about the Samsung Focus Flash specs
The downer for this phone is the camera, especially when it is used indoors. It is below average in terms of the picture quality it can produce. Call quality leaves a little to be desired. However, call quality is not so bad that it is not audible or understandable. It is just that we thought a smart phone could do better. More on call quality later.
Summary of the Samsung Focus Flash specs
The most important selling point for this phone is the $50 price tag. Of course, at that price tag, you are going to have a phone that is not going to be great or awesome in all departments. The camera and call quality is average although the 1.4GHz processor and the new Windows operating system will easily keep you satisfied with the purchase of this phone, if you do decide to take that route.
Design – Samsung Focus Flash specs
OK, the phone is made out of plastic. But, you would really be pushing the expectations if you wanted better build quality in a phone that costs just $50. Apart from the plastic, one will really have a hard time in labeling this phone as a $50 phone. It is 4.6 inches tall, 2.3 inches wide and just .43 inches thick. The weight of the phone is just 4.1 ounces. The phone uses a Super AMOLED screen. Though many of the smartphones today use a Super AMOLED Plus screen, one will be quite satisfied with the Focus Flash’s display that puts out a 480X800 resolution that supports up to 65,000 colors.
Samsung realized that smartphones and plastic don’t really go well together. That is why they have added a nice metallic touch to this phone, by giving the Focus Flash a classy looking brushed metal finish on the back cover.
Camera – Samsung Focus Flash specs
The 5MP camera in the back of the Samsung Focus Flash will do a decent job of taking some pictures when you are in the outdoors. However, when you move indoors, in low light conditions, the camera quality leaves a lot to be desired. Video quality too is good outdoors although it is not that great indoors. But, the video plays back without stalling and will be enough for people who mostly use their phone cameras to record their cat or dog or child doing something interesting, only to delete it after a while.
Call quality – Samsung Focus Flash specs
The call quality is sort of a mixed bag. While several higher priced smartphones have a lot of background noise and fuzziness, there was none with the Samsung Focus Flash. But, where the Samsung Focus Flash falls short is that the actual voice can sound a little digitized, as if it is being edited in real time. You might have people on the other end asking you if you caught a cold or if you care coming down with a flu. But, once they get used to your slightly modified voice when you use the Samsung Focus Flash, we have to say that call quality is pretty decent as the Focus Flash is able to do a great job of cutting out background noise and fuzziness.
Another plus point with the Samsung Focus Flash specs is that the speakerphone quality is pretty good. In fact, it is much better than most of the high priced Android phones and Windows phones that are out there. Like we said, call quality is a real mixed bag when it comes to the Samsung Focus Flash specs.
Data transfer speeds – Samsung Focus Flash specs
This is where the Samsung Focus Flash specs really shine. Remember, you would have paid just $50 to get your hands on this phone that can run on the HSPA+ network, offered by AT&T. The 1.4 GHz single core processor works with the good network data speeds to download rich multimedia pages very quickly. A media rich website like the New York Times loaded in just 5.5 seconds although we have to say that we loaded up the mobile version of the NYT website and not the desktop one, which we presume will take longer.
HSPA+ is nowhere as fast as LTE speeds although it is a good improvement over 3G speeds.
Battery life – Samsung Focus Flash specs
You can get more than 6 hours of talk time with this budget Windows phone. On standby, the phone can last for about 10 whole days.
Conclusion – Samsung Focus Flash specs
First of all, you will like the Samsung Focus Flash specs is you are a fan of the Windows Mango operating system. The live tile system offered by Windows is very well liked by some while some hate it with a passion. Depending on which of those two categories you belong to, you will find the rest of the Samsung Focus Flash specs to be very attractive or just so-so.
But, the fact that this phone costs $50 is the cherry on the cake. You will have to look very hard to find a $50 smartphone that can give you a 1GHz processor, HSPA+ download speeds, Super AMOLED screen resolution as well as a decent 5MP camera.
Can Windows phone put up some real competition with the Android phones and the iPhone? Android phones are coming out from left right and center and the iPhone 5 is just around the corner as well. Windows phones need a super mobile to really make their presence felt.

The
only real thing we didn't like about the Samsung Focus Flash specs is
that the indoor pictures were very average, when shot on the 5MP camera

In
our opinion, the Samsung Focus Flash just does not look like a $50
phone. The specs are not $50 phone specs either. This is a great value
buy
