Samsung Z510 ReviewThe Samsung Z510 is an upgraded version of the Samsung Z500 and is the thinnest 3G phone released to date. It's slightly heavier than the Z500, but at 97g is still one of the lightest 3G phones around, and it looks fantastic - similar to the Motorol V3X or the LG U880. It's also one of the highest spec 3G phones around (not counting smartphones). The Z510 offers everything that you'd expect from a 3G phone: video calling, video downloads, fast web browsing. There's an excellent 1.3 megapixel camera with a flash and a video camera. The main screen is very high quality - one of the best available - and the outer screen is also excellent. The music player supports all common file formats (MP3, ACC, ACC+ and WMA) and is of very high quality. A digital power amplifier boosts the audio output, and the music player is easy to operate, with dedicated external music keys so that you can use the music player with the phone closed. Other features of the phone include high quality 64-voice MP3 ringtones, email with a document viewer for viewing attachments, and a choice of Bluetooth and USB connectivity. The memory of the phone is very good, with 138 Mbytes of user memory available, but there's no memory card option, which would have been the icing on the cake! Still, 138 Mbytes is enough to store a few albums worth of music and plenty of video too. As always with a 3G phone, battery life is an issue, and the Z510 is probably worse than average in this respect. In conclusion, this is a good 3G phone, although let down by poor battery life and is also not the most user-friendly of Samsung's phones. We prefer the Samsung Z540. Features of the Samsung Z510 include:
