How to choose a phone slider: market review and expert reviews

Sliders in the distant past have replaced already obsolete clamshells. They combine a beautiful design, a small size and a full keyboard. Little exists at the moment manufacturers of phones that would have in their range did not have 1 or 2 sliders. However, with the advent of the smartphone market, the popularity of such devices began to fall, and they are gradually being replaced from the store windows.

Already, the model lines of companies involved in the creation and development of mobile devices, try not to include in the range of phone sliders. The last manufacturer to produce such a type of equipment was Nokia. This brand is the only one that has a line C2, which has a slider view. If someone is a fan of this kind of phones, then you can safely pay attention to the options from Nokia. For example, an inexpensive model C2-06 has a resistive screen, a 2 megapixel camera, a radio and a player. There is also support for 2 SIM-cards. This is quite popular nowadays. Telephones-sliders with two SIM-cards from Nokia are not more than 3 thousand rubles.

Buy such a device you can both in stores with personal contact (although now it is difficult to find such a technique), and on the Internet. The latter can offer even those phones that have long been removed from production, but remained in stock. In order to choose the right option for yourself, you need to listen to the expert's opinion. The best models, according to professionals, are described below.

Samsung C3752 Duos

This phone-slider has a beautiful body, which is made of a material such as plastic. Its surface is matte, non-slip, due to which it is nice to hold in your hand.

Weight - 92 grams, dimensions - 9,7х4,9х1,6 cm (in the closed position). It's hard to say that this device is too thick, but it can not be called thin. You can specify that in the hand or pocket, the heaviness will not be felt. The device of mark C3752 Duos is available only in one color decision - black-gray. The model is ideal for busy people who have chosen for themselves a simple, versatile and highly practical 2-sim unit.

Samsung slider phone C3752, like all other Duos devices, is equipped with service functions that are easily installed on the desktop. Settings allow you to change the position of the clock, view the calendar, time, missed calls and events, as well as the phone book. On the screen of the device 18 such labels are placed. The logo (or picture) for them is set by default or at the request of the consumer.

Samsung S5050

The Korean company did not take much care of the appearance of its new Samsung S5050 device. This phone-slider can remind on the design many models from absolutely different rulers as here there is a mixing of many variants of registration. "Face" of the device was a body of glossy plastic black shade, which shows a small pink strip. It is these colors that dominate: they can be found on the ends and on the bottom of the keyboard itself. The phone received a "shortcut" - a female one, although it looks only in its entirety; In the closed state it does not differ in any way from universal models.

In the phone menu there are icons, the size of which is 3x4. The positive thing to say is that the device remembers the last section in which the person was before stopping work, and after another opening the menu shows it exactly. Between sections or subsections, you can move using the joystick or numeric keypad. There are design themes that radically change the interior design.

Samsung E390

The next phone-slider from Samsung's so famous manufacturer is the E390. Its weight does not exceed 80 g with dimensions of 9.4х4.7х1.6 cm. The design of the device is made with such details that it looks strictly and stylish enough. Accessories, drawings, decorating elements - all this is not enough, so for conservative and quiet people this slider is suitable. On the market, the E390 is presented in only one color solution - black. Build quality. Scrapers, badly twisted screws are not observed even with a strong squeezing.

The phone menu has 9 sections. Between them you can move using a special button and a block.

Samsung J700

Cell phone slider Samsung J700 is unlikely to be remembered by the buyer its appearance - it is the most typical among other models of the Korean seller. Select this device against the background of others with the help of a shape and color scheme (a pink model is on sale).

With a weight of 92 g, the phone dimensions are 9.9x4.8x1.4 cm. The front side has decorating elements, in particular a grid behind which there is a speaker, round buttons of different colors. In addition, it is worth to clarify a nuance that catches your eye: this model in the pink version favorably emphasizes the neighborhood with black color. The average size of the device allows it to sit perfectly in the palm of your hand and not slip out.

The menu has the form of a matrix with 9 icons. Each of them is responsible for a separate section of the phone. For example, the call log includes information about all calls (received, committed, missed). And in the book of numbers can be about a thousand contacts.

Nokia 6700 Slide

First of all, it is necessary to say that Nokia 6700 Slide is a mobile phone-slider, which has a metal case, and this is a huge plus. It can already be concluded that when falling from a height, it will suffer little. The device replenishes the line of budget phones of Nokia. The manufacturer delivers several color options to the market: from blue to silver. The latter is a universal solution for both women and men, and is also ideal for different age categories - from a student to an adult employed person. Metal, taken as the basis of the body, is aluminum. The machine weighs 110 grams. And its dimensions are 9.5x4.6x1.5 cm.

The assembly of the slider is impressive. The only drawback is that the connector of the USB cable is located next to the lock on the back of the case.

LG KE500

It is difficult to name the button phone-slider LG KE500 as glamorous as its predecessor. However, his competitiveness is several times higher. It should immediately be noted that the device is universal, it will suit both women and men. In Russia, the phone is sold only in a single version, or rather in black and gray. In their home country, color variations are somewhat larger. The design of the device is stylish and at the same time unpretentious. Metal inserts are present from the outside of the case. The second material that was used in the assembly is plastic. But it is qualitative: when you touch and squeeze it does not shrink or bend. Surface coating is not the same as most sliders. The manufacturer used a technology that combines gloss and soft-touch.

Sony Ericsson W20i Zylo

Phone W20i Zylo - a slider, only in appearance which you can understand who the manufacturer is. Round sides, plastic with a matte finish, an inscription on the outside of Walkwan - all this reminds Sony Ericsson. Color solutions in the market are three: black, pink and gray. It is logical that the second option is designed more for the female half of the buyers, rather than for the male. The rest are universal.

The plastic, which is taken as a basis in the case, has a soft surface, high strength, is resistant to mechanical damage. Assembly performed at the best level. The device weighs 110 grams, but this is rather its plus than minus. This is what adds to his solidity.

Samsung E880

According to experts, Samsung was the best manufacturer (in assembly, functionality, design), so it would be superfluous to briefly review another of its models.

The technical specifications indicate the dimensions of the phone E800 - 8,7x4,3x2,3 cm. Although in life it looks even smaller. This effect was achieved due to the rounding of the edges. There is a slight similarity with the model of the South Korean manufacturer - E850. Weighs only 80 grams. This allows you to carry the device in your jacket pocket, pants, shirt, without even feeling his presence. A distinctive moment of the phone can be called the location of the camera. Its "window" is located above the screen on the upper edge of the shell. The advantage of this camera is that it has one interesting function - to rotate the image using a small slider. That is, it can "look" at both the master and the opposite side.

It is to these phones that experts give a 100% guarantee that the buyer will not be disappointed in their choice. Among the positive moments, they provide good sound, ease of use, low weight, ease of holding, long autonomous work.
