A Samsung Lucido S7220 review reveals the fact that Samsung has realised that there is still a market out there for a traditional mobile telephone, that actually looks and feels like a phone without the need for a degree in technology to switch it on. The Samsung Lucido S7220 is such a phone.

The design is more classic, slim lined and angular than most contemporary shapes and it has a traditional keypad and limited memory space. It does feature a bizarre fake call hot key to get you out of sticky situations and you can even record audio so it sounds like there is someone on the other end.

The Samsung Lucido comes with a lot of admirable qualities despite its basic concept. The AMOLED screen is excellent, nice, bright and easy to see. It includes a 5 megapixel camera, powerful LED, auto focus, video shoots in MPEG4 format, and it is also capable of video calling.

The multiplayer supports all common music formats and adding a microSD card gives you an extra 8GB and can increase the 110MB memory. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack, so choice of speakers is a little limited but it does come with a good quality sound system. It is 3G equipped but the screen will not give you the same web browsing experience you get from smartphones, but GPS is included as standard.

In its class, the S7220 is probably the best Samsung mobile phone, with a number of quality features and very little to complain about.
