Samsung S5230 - black (unlocked)

We have not reviewed this phone. Please see the CNET UK site for a review of the Samsung Tocco Lite (S5233), which is an alternate version of the S2530.

Samsung S5230 Star review: Hot starlet

Samsung are going to great lengths to pile pressure on the LG Cookie. While the Samsung S5600 Preston aims to outdo it, the 5230 Star is set for a head-on collision course. This starlet's middle name...

The name itself is no shortcut to stardom but the Tocco pedigree certainly brings with it certain expectations of quality. So will this little Star still be going strong a year from launch? The S5230 certainly has all the ingredients, now all we need...

Samsung Star S5230 Review

Today I am going to have a look at the rather modestly priced Samsung GT S5230 Star, and would evaluate as to how well does it stand up to user expectations.

Samsung Tocco Lite (S5230)

Of course, the S5230 comes with things like a web browser, Bluetooth and USB 2 connectivity. It also has handwriting recognition and various other multimedia tricks.

Consumer review by: pero196 (cnet.com)

Great mobile for it's price!

Phone is good for it's price. Auto-focus on camera will be a good option but the phone will then cost more. I am satisfied with it.

Speed,quality, design, preinstalled software, office viewer

When browsing internet for a long time phone automatically restarts, laggy when having large amount of pictures stored on your mobile phone

Consumer review by: Sir-Diablo (cnet.com)

this is a cool device and the price is so reasonable

In addition it has answering machine and it supports office and pdf files which is rare in cell phones at this rate of price and it supports micro SD ram up to 8 Gig and its FM radio could be handy in many situations.

its os based on java so you can install plenty of aplication on it. it also has a 3.2 M.G pixel camera, one of the best standard aplication on it is fake call wich makes you able to fake a phone call whenever you like to avoid unpleasant situations

its boddy is not strong enough and simply could be scratched
