Samsung Tocco White Lite
February 1, 2010 | Posted by SearchMobile As part of Samsung’s slick Tocco Range, The Tocco Lite is packed full of features, making it more than a match for similar models as a great start for anyone in the budget touchscreen phone market.
In terms of looks, the Tocco Lite really is a stylish handset. Measuring just 11.9mm deep by 104mm tall & 53mm wide, the slick white casing still manages to house a sizeable 3 inch colour touch screen. Boasting a resolution of 240 x 300 pixels, you’ll be able to see everything in crisp and clear high resolution. Operating on Samsung’s established Touch Wiz technology, the interface on the Tocco Lite is customisable and simple to operate. Your homepage can be adapted by adding a number of widgets such as clock, forecasts and web apps such as YouTube, MySpace and Facebook, giving you the freedom to have the information you want at your fingertips.
Samsung have been using the Touch Wiz technology for a while now, and it seems to work effortlessly on the Tocco Lite, especially when coupled with the rather handy “real” keys that let you call, send and select with ease. But these practical additions are still married alongside a great sense of style, meaning you still get all the fancy parts of a touchscreen phone when you purchase a Samsung Tocco Lite. This includes a virtual QWERTY keyboard, a built-in accelerometer which automatically rotates the screen when it is turned on its side and handwriting recognition and gesture lock.
The Tocco Lite also features a 3.2 megapixel camera, with digital zoom, auto focus and Samsung’s “Smile Shot” technology, allowing your camera to work intelligently by gauging when your subject is smiling. There are also photo editing capabilities built into the Samsung Tocco Lite, and the 50Mb memory can be expanded via a microSD card to 16GB, giving you plenty of room to store your memories alongside music and video. In terms of media playback, the Tocco Lite has a music player which supports MP3, WMA and AAC files, FM radio with RDS and video recording and MP4 playback functions. Sound is clear thanks to the Tocco Lite’s equaliser and DNSe support. It’s enough to rival some more high end mobiles, and is a credit to the Tocco Lite that it can hold its own amongst the big boys.
However, there are a few things that the Tocco Lite is lacking. Although connectivity wise you are spoilt for choice with Bluetooth, USB and GPRS functions, the Tocco Lite can be prone to jerky playback when on sites like YouTube due to it’s lack of WiFi and 3G. However, you’d be hard pressed to find a touchphone that does offers these features without having the price bumped up. And you can still browse in comfort on the Tocco Lite, with great accessibility on RSS feeds and Google services.
You also get plenty of battery time. At just 93mg, the Tocco Lite is considerably lighter than some other Samsung models, and although this impacts on the battery life, you are still looking at around 8 hours of talk time and
350 hours of standby on the Tocco Lite. And with it’s quad band network function, you can travel the world and the Tocco Lite can easily accommodate anywhere you are likely to take it.
Overall, the Samsung Tocco Lite really is the best of both worlds – a budget touchscreen phone that works incredibly hard. Although some may view it as a compromise, the truth is the Tocco Lite is anything but compromising.
