Samsung SGH-E700 Camera Phone Review

By

Quote from the review at HardwareZone:

“Samsung has finally removed the antennae from their clamshell mobile phones with their latest SGH-E700 handset. Prior to this release, the entire line of clamshell mobiles from Samsung has an unsightly antennae sticking out from its otherwise exquisitely designed exterior. Not only was the antennae a thorn in the eye, it is also a point to consider when one is shopping around for a mobile phone.

For phones, unfortunately, the physical dimensions of a camera module do not facilitate that liberty to a great extent. Vivo, which is known for some prodigious phone cameras, has an intuitive solution to the problem -- and it involves using a smarter and refined version of the flash.

Right before Google I/O 2024, Google showed off the latest Pixel device, the Google Pixel 8a. This is the latest offering from the Pixel A-series, which is a more budget-friendly Pixel for those who don’t need all the bells and whistles of the flagship Pixel 8 or 8 Pro.

The Pixel 8a features a new design with more rounded corners and a matte-finish back. It packs Google’s latest silicon, the Tensor G3, but the camera hardware remains unchanged from its predecessor, the Pixel 7a.
