Samsung Genio Slide Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: If you want a touchscreen phone with the benefit
of a QWERTY keyboard and you don't want to spend big bucks, the Genio
Touch is pretty well as good as it gets. With a native facebook application,
WiFi, aGPS, 3.5mm headphone jack and memory expandable to a monster
16GB, there isn't much not to like about this phone. If we could improve
one thing, it would be the camera. Everything else rocks!
Review: February 2010.
 It's
hard not to be impressed by the Samsung Genio Slide. If you use your phone for
texting and facebook and you want features like a music player with FM radio,
assisted GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack and plenty of memory, then you might well
have found your perfect phone.
The big advantage that the Genio Slide has over most mid-range phones is its
slide-out keyboard. Now, we love touchscreen phones just as much as everyone,
but nothing can beat a full QWERTY keyboard for fast typing, especially if it
has large well-spaced responsive keys like the Genio Slide. The combination
of real keyboard plus a large 2.8 inch touchscreen makes the Genio a joy to
use.
The Genio Slide has been designed for the always-connected facebook generation
and comes with its own native facebook application, plus widgets that give easy
access to MySpace and instant messaging. Messages are organised by contact,
treating texts and other messages in one uniform interface, so you can easily
follow conversations with your friends.
The Genio Slide is a 3G phone, so data transfer is fast. There's also WiFi,
for even faster data speeds in a WiFi hotspot.
The phone has a music player of course, and has the benefit of a 3.5mm audio
jack, so you can plug in any standard-fit headphones. We're pleased to see that
the internal memory is a generous 150MB, and you can add a microSD card to expand
this all the way up to 16GB, to store your whole music collection. There's also
an FM radio with RDS.
AGPS is also included, which is quite a surprise for a phone that costs a little
over £100 on PAYG.
The one area where the Genio Slide doesn't quite match up to expectations is
in the camera. It's a fixed focus camera with just 3.2 megapixels, and doesn't
come anywhere near the quality of the best camera phones. But it's fine for
taking snaps of friends, and is at least as good as the cameras on phones such
as the Samsung Genio Touch or the Samsung
Tocco Lite. The Genio Slide has a video camera as well, and is also able
to make video calls.
Battery life seems to be good.
It's quite a heavy phone, but that's to be expected when you consider that
it has a full size keyboard. It's a reasonably compact phone though, being about
the same size as the Tocco Lite, just a few millimetres thicker. Really, it's
hard to see how Samsung could have made it any thinner.
If you've read this much of the review, chances are that you're as excited
by the Genio Slide as we are. And so, to answer your question, we'd say: go
for it!
One final thought. The nearest competitor to this phone is probably the LG
GW520. The two phones both have touchscreens and slide-out keyboards, and
cost about the same. In our opinion the Genio Slide is better because it has
aGPS, WiFi, a 3.5mm audio jack, more memory, video calling and is more reliable.
In fact, that makes it a heck of a lot better!
Features of the Samsung Genio Slide include:
- 3.2 megapixel camera with 2x digital zoom
- Video camera / 3G video calling
- Display: TFT, 262,000 colours, 320 x 240 pixels (2.8 inches) with auto rotation

- Personal organiser functions
- Quadband GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) plus 3G (900/2100 MHz)
- Size: 105 x 57 x 16 mm

I absolutely love this phone. i've had it for over twelve months now
and its still going, still looking good and still performing well. although
i don't use the social media package that's included, there are heaps
of features that i'm still finding now! despite the camera only being
a 3.2 megapixel, the images are crisp enough. the weight of the phone
was actually a huge advantage for me, as i continue to lose lighter
ones in the depths of a handbag. the keypad is an absolute god-send,
you can text on the move very quickly without having to fight with either
predictive text or the 'click me four times to get an S' method. the
battery life is pretty good too, i usually get four to five days of
battery life, with lots of phone calls, photographs and texts being
made/sent. i keep my phone on 24 hours too, so the battery is definitely
in it for the long haul. overall this is a great phone if you want something
simple to use, reliable, long lasting with lots of features. and its
quite cute too! I've just read the other reviews and have a few suggestions,
for the touchscreenresponse, you can adjust the amount of pressure needed
to respond to more or less depending on how heavy-handed you like to
be. the freezing whilst on call or on the web has honestly never happened
for me, it only freezes if you whip out the keypad too quickly on mine.
as i said earlier, i've had mine for over a year now, and its still
in great physical condition, the keypad is intact with no threats of
buttons disappearing and the battery has never fallen out of mine unless
it gets dropped and lands at an odd angle. the phone has never got hot
or anything like that, so i'd take it back or get it looked at...

This phone is awful. Had it for about 7 months and it has all sorts
of problems. There's always a shaded area of blue over the screen, sometimes
turning to negatives. My messages don't go to my "sent items" anymore
and I recently haven't been receiving texts. The simple options on the
phone don't work anymore, e.g. date, time etc... The camera is shocking!
Pictures are of bad quality and the button to take the actual photo
is awkward and often doesn't work. With all these problems, I have never
really dropped my phone or had it undergo water damage etc. I look after
it, and it's completely ruined. I have it for another year or so...
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

I really do not like this phone. The keyboard was good initially, but
the keys have broken and they have stopped working at various points.
The camera is appauling, and it will not accept any memory cards. I
had this phone from March 2010, and never had problems till about a
month ago. My contrct runs until Sept. 2011 god help me! the touchscreen
is unresponsive and sticks every time i use it. The menu likes to shut
itself off, and whenever I try and use the internet the phone reboots
itself. Also a number of times the phone has wiped all my contacts from
the sim card. Not impressed. The Insurance company says its fine and
wont touch it. How will i survive the next 9 months. DO NOT BUY!

This is a follow-up note from my earlier review on the 6th October.
I still maintain that it's a good phone in itself, but whatever you
do, do NOT buy it from Tescos. The phone comes with about 18 different
contacts and services that Tesco offers, such as Tesco Car Insurance
and Tesco Flowers. While it's possible to delete these contacts, turning
off and on the phone again makes them reappear. I dont want to have
to scroll down through 18 Tesco contacts before I'm able to reach my
own, so I took the phone back and got a refund.

Review is based on initial impressions of the last couple of days, will
amend if necessary. It's pretty good, it took me a while to get used
to the interface, and the touch-screen is definitely more resistant
than I would have liked. The whole mobile seems sluggish, and there
are some very irritating quirks. NEGATIVES ********* For example, in
the conversations, why are you limited to only 160 characters maximum,
while if you directly reply to a text you can send up to 15 consecutive
texts? Interface is sluggish, there's no other word for it. It takes
about a second, sometimes two, to access apps in the menu, although
maybe I'm a bit too used to my iPod Touch... I don't know. Often accidently
open up widgets and its too fiddly to get them back to the left hand
widget bar... a bit annoying. Internet on a non-3G network seems to
take forever to load. It's easy to set a custom ring-tone... just look
for your music and it's there under the selected song, but there's no
option for a custom message tone... or is there?! Yes, there is, but
you have to go through a long winded way to get it... through finding
your Profile, selecting "Messages" at the top of the screen and then
searching for the song through that.. its all unnecessarily inconvenient.
Why Samsung didn't simply add a "Set as Message Tone" under the audio
lists is beyond me. POSITIVES ********* Despite the negative opinions
towards the camera, I actually don't think it's too bad. I think it's
better than my Sony Ericsson C510, in that the photo is instant, and
you can zoom at 3.2 megapixels, rather than be forced to changing the
resolution to 2MP or below to allow a zoom. There isn't a flash though,
but its not a serious issue... go and buy a cheap digital camera! The
keyboard is a thing of beauty. After observing several phone shops,
where the keyboard is all smashed up, with buttons missing with the
phone on display, glued to the wall, I was skeptical, but it's divine...
so far! Very easy to text, and update FaceTube and Twitbook should the
need arise. The phone comes with several games, but most are just trials.
Still, there's a lot of content. It has WIFI and 3G! Seriously, for
the price it's incredible value, I was going to plump for the Samsung
Tocco Lite or LG Viewty Snap, but WIFI swung it for me. Don't let my
4-star rating fool you. I was trying to decide which would be appropriate,
but I feel 3 and a half stars is ideal. Since the option isn't there,
I'm rounding it up to 4 stars.

Fantastic phone - buy it (unless the camera puts you off). Had this
three weeks now and it's still great. It's not an iphone, but you're
not paying iphone prices. I got this of vodafone, got it unlocked and
am signing up with 3 mobile for their data deal. With the Opera mini
browser downloaded it makes browsing the web a doddle even with the
tiny screen. Facebook, messenger (via Meebo) and news websites are easily
browsed. The tiniest fly in the ointment is you have to manually keep
changing from WiFi to 3G and back again. The GPS and google maps works
fine (if you're outdoors or near a window) otherwise it triangulates
your position via the mobile phone network. The keyboard is a thing
of beauty. Takes time to learn to use, but it means never having to
fight predictive text for the word "home" again!

Got this phone for my wife who wanted a PAYG phone after reading reviews
etc. I have an iphone 4 so I initially couldn't help but compare the
two which of course is a real mismatch, however I eventually managed
to be objective. The phone for that price is loaded with features and
though I was really dissapointed with the touchscreen initially, I found
out that swiping the screen with the tip of your fingernail as opposed
to your finger skin (which other touch screen devices require)works
well, surprisingly well. Also it seems to grow in responsiveness with
time! strange.Wifi works well though web browsing isn't the best, however
the slide out keypad is one of the best things about this phone. Feels
better than a blackberry keypad (honestly). The biggest bugbear so far
is the random rebooting-in the middle of a call or whilst browsing the
web via wifi. I found the widget rather annoying but I'm used to it
now, anyway, I'll exchange it for the same model hoping the rebooting
thing is not a universal fault. It's a great budget phone this.

Thought you might like to know the outcome of my visit to the shop.
(Read the review below first). Happened to find the right bloke who
knew the answer which in the end is quite simple. In the beginning the
phone was set up to "Automatic" in the network mode. This would be the
obvious choice for most people I imagine. However, unless you are in
a good 3G reception area it is NOT a good idea. In the heirarchy of
mobile phone bands 3G is at the top, and will try to pull the signal
to it even if it is weaker than GSM or UMTS. In my case I am in a poor
3G area and the reason for my poor reception is that the signal was
being "pulled". As it was so poor it resulted in a drop out. The phone
has now been adjusted to GSM 900/1800 and all is working fine with a
5 bar signal where yesterday it was only 1 or out. It would be better
if the manuals explained this in the first place, as otherwise you are
expected to know all the answers yourself. The Genio manual in my opinion
is very poor, as it assumes that everyone has a degree in mobile phones!
Now it is working OK I can give it 5 stars. This info might be of use
to others with the same problem.

Have had this phone for 3 weeks now and it has been a bit of a struggle
to say the least! Getting the email setup would have been made more
easy if Vodafone (after I had phoned them) gave the right information.
In the shop they didn't know how to do it either! Found the answer eventually
on a webpage. Signal strength is abismal compared with my battered old
phone side by side on the table. The old one shows 5 bars and the new
one if you are lucky might show 1. Soon as you put it in your pocket
it's zapped. Taking it back tomorrow to see if they will change it.
Must be something wrong with the phone, as most other people do not
seem to have this problem. Other than the reception problem it is an
easy phone to operate once set up, but can't rate it very high at the
moment.

Well first of all the keyboard is great. Sadly my phone doesn't like
to get signal anywhere, not because of the network, but of the phone.
Dad on same network (Orange) and he gets fuul signal wheras i do not.
Also When I attempt to change the camera settings it automatically reboots
the phone. Camera quality is mediocre. Stereo is good quality. Also
it doubles up all my music when I set it as a ringtone? and then the
internet is slow, and the entire phone works slowly. Thought it was
amazing to begin with, but as time passes, i guaruntee that you will
be disappointed.

Only had this phone a couple of days but love it already! Touchscreen
is much more responsive and easy to use than previous Samsung touchscreens
(had the original Omnia and it was a nightmare) I love the choice of
widgets which include Facebook, Twitter, Bebo, Myspace and Google as
well as all sorts of other things, and the internet is very fast. Also
loving the BBC iPlayer built in, works really well and what a brilliant
little extra! It has no problem playing Youtube videos and plays them
in good quality, no skipping or pausing. Internet was EASY to set up,
I was on Facebook within 2 minutes of switching it on for the first
time. This really is a fantastic phone, I think Samsung could've charged
double what they do for it and it would still be worth its money! If
you're thinking of buying it you seriously won't be disappointed. The
camera isn't as bad as the review makes it out to be although there
are much better on the market, so dont buy if you rely heavily on a
very good camera as there is also no flash and it doesnt work brilliantly
in low light. The only improvements I would suggest is a longer battery
life and a stronger vibrate as I can't feel it ring in my pocket, which
is a bit of a letdown. Otherwise, this is by far the best phone I have
ever owned.

This phone on paper was perfect for me. Occasional internet surfing
is much easier with a nice slide out keyboard, 3G, WiFi, use your own
headphones, FM Radio. The phone does represent real value for money.
However the phone does, unsurprisingly, betray its budget roots. Some
of the menus are plan ugly and the touch screen can be hit and miss.
I also found things like writing a basic text message to be counter
intuitive due to a general poor menu layout. I have always had contract
phones before and there is always more of a ‘quality’ feel
to the whole package. Is Samsung had paid more attention to detail on
the UI and fitted a better touch-screen I would have given 5 stars.
As it is I can only give 3.

I think Samsung have just released one of the best value phones that's
been on the market for a long time. It's the ideal combination of menu
navigating on the touchscreen and actual typing on the superb slide
out QWERTY. The Samsung OS works well and has not been buggy at all
so far. It's not lightning quick but it works just fine. To mention
a point raised before, this does not seem the no compromise teen phone
it is being billed as. I'm 36 and it's an ideal phone for me! I love
the text conversation implementation, it works like an instant messaging
system, with texts appearing in a neat conversation layout with no clicking
required. And I think the REAL full keypad is just superb, won't want
to go back to anything else now. Also really like the way you can organise
all four menu screens into what you want personally, and even create
and name your own. Samsung's widget system is present and correct, BUT
the choice is limited to every Flickr, Twitter, Facebook and Bebo based
website in existence... (a definite pointer to it's teen billing!) Why
oh why didn't Samsung give users the option to use widgets for composing
texts, inbox, calculator, alarms, files etc? There are too many useless
widgets as well (stop smoking, go on a diet, two clocks, 'help'....),
Samsung have missed a trick there. Other downsides are not great build
quality (v plastic) and the screen space is not always used efficiently
(pointless grey bars at the top and bottom which reduce visible list
items by one or two) However, even with the few niggles I think this
a superb phone that works like a charm. 3G, Wifi, full QWERTY and touchscreen
all for £135 unlocked. Superb

that's very responsive. I was about to buy the BlackBerry Curve 8520,
but its much better not only in style as GSM Arena says; "The Curve
8520 feels like a Chinese toy..." and they say about the Genio Slide;
"The Genio Slide is surprisingly cheap phone, that feels expensive..."
So its way better than a mid-range BlackBerry for a cheap price that's
suitable for both kids and adults, its great! Totally recommend.

this phone is awesome its cheap but feels exspensive. it is packed full
of features like facebook 3g and a good web browser. The qwerty keyboard
is goodand the leters are quite spaced out so you wont be hitting to
keys at the same time. i havent had any problems with this phone so
i would say go for it.
