Samsung Solid Extreme Review
The Samsung Solid Extreme is not a phone for people who love the technology included with the latest mobile phones, as many functions on the handset are either lacking or older generation. Instead, the Samsung Solid Extreme is a mobile phone for people who lead an active lifestyle and need a handset which can keep up.
Unlike most Samsung mobile phones, which are usually criticised for their build quality, the Samsung Solid Extreme’s best feature is its sturdy design. The handset has been designed to withstand huge abuse, including shock, rain and even solar radiation. Because of this, looks have taken a back seat to durability as the handset is heavily set in thick casing.
Due to the emphasis on durability, the functionality has also suffered as only a basic 1.3-megapixel camera, low quality music player and FM tuner are available on the handset. However, due to the presence of a microSD card slot, large amounts of songs and photos can be stored on the phone without space becoming an issue.
Because of the emphasis on durability rather than technology with the Samsung Solid Extreme, it is surprisingly cheap compared to other contract mobile phones with some deals being available from just £10 a month.
However these cheap mobile phone contracts are often severely limited in the amount of free calls you can make and texts you can send, although for a phone designed to be used on the go this may not be a major issue.
