Samsung Corby II S3850 Price & Specifications

Samsung was the first cellphone brand to bring cheap touchscreen phones in the hands of a common man. The most popular subset of Samsung mobile was thus Samsung Corby. The Corby series phones ruled the initial touchscreen market when no other brand like Nokia, Sony Ericsson or LG could compete and lagged behind in competition.

Samsung Corby II S3850 is the second generation Samsung Corby phone; it inherits the shape and looks from its predecessors. On the other hand the Samsung Corby II S3850 is full of exciting features like a 2MP camera, expandable memory up to 16GB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, full HTML web browser and more. It has a 21MB internal memory and a respectable battery that provides a talk time of more than 9 hours. The touchscreen size is 3.14 inches at a 240×320 resolution which is respectable for a phone that costs approximately 5600/- rupees.

 

I wonder about one thing though. Why would someone buy the Samsung Corby II S3850 in the first place today? There are cellphones in the market today that run on Android OS and cost as much as this Samsung Corby II S3850. Phones like Spice Mi-280 runs on Android 2.3 and will cost you 5100/- and the Spice Mi-270 will cost you exactly the same as a Samsung Corby II S3850. Even if you want to buy a better Samsung phone like a Samsung Galaxy Y will cost you somewhere around 6400/- rupees that is only 800/- rupees more. Well my point is that there are phones in the market today that have better features and technology and cost round about the same. Choose wisely before you buy the Samsung Corby II S3850.
