Samsung S5560 ReviewRed starRed starRed star White star White star

Poor Excellent

Look and feel

A comfortable fit in both your hand and pocket, the Samsung S5560 joins the growing list of good looking touch-screen phones.

Ease of use

While Samsung's TouchWiz UI is now a familiar affair, we struggled with the resistive touch-screen.

Features

The five-megapixel camera is the standout feature. EDGE data speeds can be quite sluggish, though there is Wi-Fi for a speedier internet experience.

Battery life

An impressive battery life of 570 minutes' talktime and 620 hours' standby time.

Samsung S5560

Pros: An above average five-megapixel camera on an average handset.
Cons: Find yourself outside of a Wi-Fi hotspot and you’ll have to put up with the sluggish EDGE data speeds.

Verdict: A decent all-rounder, the Samsung S5560 is a good option if shopping on a budget. But there’s nothing ground-breaking here.
