Many people will say that push-button phones With the advent of touchscreen smartphones, they have long gone into the background. There were also forecasts that they would completely disappear from sale. However, this did not happen, since there is still a demand for them. Direct proof of this is the model. It went on sale in 2011. The surprising thing is that even today this phone can be found among users. What is its peculiarity? Let's figure it out.

Design

Samsung GT-C3322 is a monoblock made in a classic style. The body is made of metal. Externally it looks quite stylish, which all buyers noticed. There are no sharp corners, which significantly softens the overall perception. On the front panel there is a display and a push-button keyboard, visually divided into two blocks: soft keys (black or lilac) and numeric keys (silver). The joystick has a chrome plated finish. Thanks to this, it stands out clearly on dark background. The numeric keypad buttons are individual. It’s easy to press them, you don’t have to worry about hitting someone nearby. The camera lens is located on the rear panel. A stereo speaker is located on the same line with it. At the bottom of the lid there is the name of the manufacturer. At the ends the user will see connectors for headphones (mini-Jack) and cable (microUSB).

The user is offered games, social networks, weather forecasts and other software in the Samsung GT-C3322 Duos. If desired, the owner will be able to independently download various applications to the phone - office, entertainment. You will need internet for installation. If for some reason it is missing, you can transfer it from your PC. A USB cable is used for connection and data transfer.

Samsung GT-C3322: customer reviews

In order to give the device a fair rating, you need to look at user reviews. It is worth noting that more than 90% of them are laudatory. Most buyers claim that the phone works for a long time without breakdowns. With careful handling, you can even keep the case in its original form. The good volume of the speaker and microphone makes this device an excellent device for calls. The interface is clear and simple, the keyboard is comfortable, and has a backlight. You can often see this phone among older people who, due to their capabilities, cannot or do not want to master complex OS modern gadgets.

Of course, it was not without its drawbacks. First of all, the acute problem in this model is the Internet connection. Its speed and signal quality are, to put it mildly, not up to par. Also, most owners noticed that after installing additional software, software failures often occur. As a rule, unlicensed applications downloaded directly from the Internet lead to such consequences. If the device begins to freeze or reboot on its own, it is recommended to change the firmware. This will help correct all errors in the system. How to do this, read below.

How to flash Samsung GT-C3322?

Often changing the firmware helps solve many problems that have arisen on the mobile device. If your phone begins to show minor problems, you can try to rehabilitate it yourself. To do this, you will need to download the firmware file to your PC from the official website, prepare a USB cable, and fully charge the battery. If all this is done, you can start changing the firmware. To do this, you will need to connect your phone to your PC and start installing the downloaded file.

It is important to remember that such actions can lead to the device turning into a “brick”. The risk, although small, is still there. For those who have doubts, it is better to seek qualified help.

Samsung GT-C3322I phone review

Before certain point phones with two SIM cards aroused a purely academic interest in me - I was interested in knowing what they were, but there was no need to purchase a device of this type. But, as often happens in life, the situation changed dramatically and I had to quickly look for such a product.

When choosing a phone, I was guided by models of the middle price group, which have more or less modern appearance. In addition, size is important to me - I don’t like very small devices, because they get lost in a trouser or jacket pocket and I don’t feel them. Without thinking twice, I chose the phone I.

Delivery set and appearance

Along with the phone I got a battery, Charger and instructions. All this was packaged in a small box the size of two cigarette packs - I have a feeling that soon phones will be sold in plastic bags, like candy.

Dimensions of phone I (length, width, thickness) - 11.4x4.8x1.4 cm. Weight - 95 grams. Its appearance on the websites of many stores is called “elegant and stylish,” although these words are nothing more than a trick to lure customers. I would call its design nice and neat - it looks simple and unpretentious.

At first glance, it may seem that there is metal in the design of the front surface - the keyboard unit seems to be made of stainless steel treated in a special way. But the front panel, like the entire body, is made of plastic and is only edged with a thin metal strip.

At the top, under a narrow lattice panel, there is a speaker, and at the bottom (under the 0 key) there is a microphone.

The back cover of my device is glossy (there are also options with a corrugated coating). It can safely be called a fingerprinter's dream - any touches, the smallest specks of dust and dirt immediately catch the eye. But this is not the main drawback - it is really slippery. When pulling your phone out of your pocket or bag, you should not make sudden movements with your hand, especially if you are holding it not in your palm, but with several fingers - there is a possibility of sending the product flying.

On the right side there is a Micro-USB connector for charging and connecting to a computer (located on the right and covered with a plug), as well as a key with which you can switch between SIM cards. On the left side there is only a loop for a strap.

At the top end there is a standard (3.5 mm) headphone jack, and at the bottom end there is a small gap that allows you to pry back cover and gain access to the insides of the model.

Here we see two slots for SIM cards, which are covered by the battery, a camera eye and a slot for a memory card (a 4 GB card is enough for me, although the device supports microSD flash drives up to 16 GB).

The back cover is equipped with only four tiny latches, which nevertheless reliably cover the “rear” - it will not be possible to get to the battery without effort.

The build quality is beyond praise - there are no cracks, all parts fit tightly together. In general, the company's Chinese employees did their best.

Screen and controls

The phone is equipped with a 2.2-inch TFT display. Its resolution is 240x320 pixels and displays 262 thousand colors.

The image quality is quite acceptable only if you look at the screen directly - even at small angles the picture is very distorted. Perhaps the reason for this behavior lies in the fact that between protective glass and the display itself is enough long distance(about 2-3 mm), and the “window” itself has a slightly curved, lens-shaped surface. But this disadvantage can also turn into an advantage - standing nearby stranger will not be able to see anything on your phone screen.

On the main screen you can display not only big clock, like mine, but also almost a dozen other widgets. You can add a calendar, most popular contacts, site bookmarks, and the AccuWeather application, which will show weather data in your region.

But the keyboard, unlike the screen, is simply excellent. Below the display there are two soft keys. The left key is responsible for entering the menu, and the right button can be configured at your discretion (I use it for direct access to contacts - I couldn’t choose anything better from the proposed list). Even lower are the call and end call buttons. Between them there is a large navigation key, made in the shape of a rectangle with smoothed corners, and inside it there is a button designed to confirm the choice. Personally, I find this joystick very convenient to use - it seems to be designed for my thumb.

The number keys are placed at a decent distance from each other, which minimizes accidental touching of several buttons. All the keys have a short travel, the presses are a little stiff, but this has its own advantage - they respond to each touch with a pleasant creaking sound, so there is no doubt as to whether there was a press.

The keys are backlit in white. In daylight it is practically invisible, and can only be seen in the dark.

Menu and working with SIM cards

Menu in my I occupies as many as four screens: icons are not sorted into groups and for search desired application You have to scroll through several screens.

On the other hand, there is the opportunity to place them at your discretion - I have collected the most necessary applications on the first screen.

Like most modern phones with two SIM cards, this device is equipped with only one radio module - during a conversation on one card, the second one goes out of play (to solve this problem, you can set up call forwarding).

As I said above, to select the main SIM card (that is, the one from which the call will be made), there is a special key on the right side. Switching occurs almost instantly.

For each card, you can set your own theme (desktop design), as well as a ringtone.

The first option will allow you to visually control the situation - by setting up different themes, you will not confuse different operators communications. And with the help of the second option, you will be able to determine by ear which SIM card is receiving an incoming call.

For ease of use, phone numbers of subscribers of different operators can be saved on the corresponding SIM cards, so you can always control the choice of the main card.

If there is not enough SIM card memory, contacts can be saved in the phone memory, which can hold up to a thousand entries. By the way, about the phone's memory - out of the declared 50 MB, a little more than 15 MB is available to the user.

Sound, photo, video

The speaker and microphone of this product provide excellent quality sound when talking. The interlocutor can be heard clearly, and he has no complaints about audibility. The sound volume can be adjusted depending on your individual characteristics and the noise level around you.

The speaker that plays the call gets a solid nine on a scale of ten. Plus, you can apply different sound profiles for different situations and even customize your own profile.

While listening to music on headphones, the sound seemed a little “metallic” to me. On the other hand, expecting a warm tube sound from a simple mobile phone is at least naive.

I is equipped with a camera with a resolution of 2 megapixels. It takes photos with a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 pixels and shoots video with a resolution of 176x144 pixels. In principle, these numbers explain everything. The camera will be enough to remove the price tag in a store or your favorite washing machine to show it to one of the relatives. There can be no talk of any highly artistic photographs.

Installed in the model Opera browser mini, provides direct access to Twitter and Facebook. To be honest, I did not test the phone’s operation on the Internet, since for me accessing the network at such “power” and with such a screen is a sophisticated masochism.

Communications

The device is equipped with a Bluetooth module - amateurs wireless headset may not worry.

When connected to a computer, you can use Samsung app Kies or do without it. In the first case, you need to install a program of the same name on your PC, downloading it for free from the manufacturer’s website, and then you will have a proprietary interface for data operations. In the second case, the computer will see the memory card as a simple removable disk.

Working hours

There is a 1000 mAh battery installed here. On average, I talk for 15-20 minutes a day, sometimes I can listen to the radio for a couple of hours - when used in this mode, the battery lasts for five days. The time to fully charge the battery is 150-160 minutes.

Additional features

Black list. This program allows you to reject incoming calls from subscribers with whom you for some reason do not want to talk - the caller will have a lost connection, and information about the missed call will be displayed on your screen. You cannot add more than ten numbers to the blacklist.

False call. This application intended to simulate incoming call. If you want to leave an annoying company or play the role of a busy person, then this option will be very useful. In addition, it will be difficult to suspect you of insincerity - the name and number of the subscriber will be displayed on the phone screen (if you enter them in advance).

Dictaphone. Now you don't need to create small audio notes. additional device. In the 2.5 GB of free memory that I have on the card, it can squeeze 100 minutes of talk time. In addition, you can turn on the “saving” mode - the recorder will record only the voice, and pause recording during long pauses.

conclusions

I am completely satisfied with the I phone as an inexpensive and convenient dialer.

Its disadvantages include:

• glossy back panel;
• small screen viewing angles;
• unordered menu.

Among the advantages are:

• high-quality assembly;
• well-organized switching between SIM cards;
• good duration of work.

: More and more models supporting two SIM cards are appearing on our market. Another new product from this segment is samsung phone C3322. This is a classic inexpensive candy bar that resembles the Nokia 6300 in its appearance.

Basic equipment of the device includes a QVGA screen, 2 megapixel camera, memory card support, FM receiver, Bluetooth version 2.1 with A2DP.

The device belongs to the DUOS Lite family. This means that despite the fact that there is support for a pair of SIM cards, you cannot talk on them at the same time. Considering the low cost of the device, this is quite forgivable.

Appearance

Monoblock Samsung C3322 reminds of this popular phone, How . It is very similar to the model of the Finnish company, which went on sale about 4 years ago and became a real hit.

Continuing to delight customers with inexpensive DUOS Lite models, Samsung has also released an inexpensive all-in-one. Such phones still remain very popular, due to the ease of use of such solutions.

The case dimensions are 112x47x9 mm, weight 95 g. The phone is thin, easy to carry, and fits easily into any pocket.

The monoblock is well assembled, there were no complaints about the assembly. The case does not creak, there are no backlashes. The front panel of the case is silver. It gives the impression that it is metal, this is caused by the pattern that decorates the surface. But it's just plastic, albeit high-quality one. The display is edged with a black insert, which goes down and goes into the area where the mechanical buttons are located.

There is a metal edging around the side surfaces, which adds solidity to the device. It flows into glossy side surfaces, and they, in turn, flow into the grooved back cover. Similar design styles are now found in many Samsung devices. Good thing it's glossy plastic rear panels becomes a thing of the past.

At the top there is a hole for the earpiece, which is located under a plastic insert with numerous holes.

At the top end of the phone there is a standard 3.5 mm jack for connecting headphones.

There is a hole for a strap on the left side.

On the right side you can see a microUSB slot, which is covered with a hinged lid that protects from dust.

The keyboard block consists of 12 keys, 3 in each row. They are separate with a medium and clear stroke, pressed almost silently. There's a lot between the buttons free space, so accidental clicks are completely excluded. The keys have a pattern on them that makes them look like metal parts. But it's still the same plastic.

The symbols are printed in gray font and are easy to read against a gray background. However, if the light is on (for example, artificial lighting in a room), then they are difficult to see. But in the dark the keyboard can be read without problems.

Screen

The phone's TFT display has a diagonal of 2.2 inches and displays up to 262 thousand colors. The resolution is 240x320 pixels.
