Samsung SGH Z400 3G Phone Review

The new Samsung Z400 makes significant gains from its forerunner with a range of nifty enhancements and added features. When you?re working on the move, Document Viewer allows you to read files intact in Excel, PPT and Word, as well as HTML, PDF and Text files. In Offline Mode, users can switch off the phone function but revel in embedded content such as documents or photos while on a plane - with savings in battery time, to boot. All-important user memory, at 30MB, is also fully expandable via external Micro SD, to save and store your documents. Bluetooth more often than not saves the day, with mobile printing and wireless connections and sync-ups to your laptop or PDA. Go cordless with a wireless stereo headset, or hands-free with the Speakerphone option. This improved model is specially geared towards maximum productivity in work-oriented activities on the run.

This is a 3G phone, supporting UMTS 2.1 GHz, as well as GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 MHz networks. Touted as a business phone, the phone comes with built-in document viewers.

The phone sports a bright 2″ 240×320 pixel resolution (QVGA) LCD TFT display capable of outputting 262k colors. User-accessible memory, while limited at 30MB, can happily be extended using a separate microSD memory card - ideal for storing photos from the 2-megapixel camera or your favorite songs.

The Samsung Z400 also has an integrated music player that can play MP3/AAC/AAC+/e-AAC+. Go wireless with Bluetooth technology. PC connectivity is possible via a USB data cable, and thanks to PictBridge provision, you can print your photos without accessing a PC.

The Z400 is a superlative business companion that lets customers view Excel, PPT and Word, as well as HTML, PDF and Text files on the move. The Z400 is also able to be the music companion with Bluetooth ® stereo headset support for listening with freedom. User memory with a fully expandable microSD memory card slot provides enough space to save and store your documents, photos, and music. Boasting a 2 megapixel camera with 4x Digital Zoom, the Z400 lets users instantly capture those special moments or record the moments in high quality color video and with sound.

With A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) you can wirelessly hook-up over Bluetooth with a pair of compatible stereo headphones and you’ll find the fidelity performance notched up another level. However, with no room to manoeuvre or adapt the audio, the Z400 just sounds one-dimensional.

You can create playlists on the fly and shuffle and repeat songs but this is as rudimentary as the player gets. If you’re looking to use the Z400 as a music player then we advise you invest in an optional 1GB microSD card because the 30MB of internal memory won’t hold a bean.

Review By Cnet

Sliding the phone up — an immensely satisfying experience given the mechanism’s springiness — reveals a 2-megapixel camera with a large “ego-cam” mirror up top and a curved keypad down below. On the left side are the dedicated volume keys and a MicroSD card slot (unfortunately without a card included). The right side features a camera launch key, shortcut button for accessing frequently used applications, and a covered slot for charging and plugging in the headset.

The Z400 is the first Samsung phone to feature 3G technology in a slider design. The slider design has become hugely popular during the past couple of years, so it’s nice to see a 3G slider on the market. At first glance the Z400 looks like a silver D500 - slightly wider and longer, but substantially thinner. It’s a little heavier than the D500, but nevertheless quite lightweight for a 3G phone.
