Samsung Hero Next

Samsung Hero Next is a CDMA mobile presented by Tata Indicom in its 'affordable'
bracket. Priced at 1300/-, yes, it is one of the cheapest handsets available in the market
today. But the low price means, it comes without many common features. That is,
the Hero Next does not have MP3 ringtones or camera, speakerphone, or FM Radio.
But it does have vibrator alert, organizer, alarm, a couple of games, calendar etc.

However, if there is one aspect that really lacks in Samsung Hero Next, it is the voice
quality. The sound at the earpiece is clear, but it is a tad too loud. In other words,
the sound resoultion is a bit lacking in Samsung Hero Next. Interestingly, even a
low end phone such as Haier C 2000 offers better sound clarity than Samsung Hero Next.

Are Cheap Mobile Phones Worthy?

Are the cheap mobile phones, as been marketd by Reliance and
Tata, worth its cheap price tag? Well, while it makes a cell phone
affordable for most common man, the low price tag brings with
it cheaper components and hence low quality. Most of the low
priced phones, such as Classic and Haier, have persistent
connectivity issues or the processor is too slow to respond, and
in some cases, its battery life is too less for a CDMA phone.
What you people think? Is it good or bad?
