Samsung SGH-S200 - Phone Review Bi-colour with the Samsung SGH-S200

25 June 2003
Written by Kinny Cheng


In Summary

Aesthetically speaking, the S200 probably wins hands down with its elegant looks and very-colourful ringing tones or melodies. Samsung has certainly included some of its latest technologies into this handset - and combining it with stylish looks, the Korean manufacturer has made it into something that you can cherish dearly.

This model is for those who want to have a phone that looks exquisite and one that somehow complements them as an individual. As for people who want a heap of practical features, the S200 is probably not “the one” for you.

However, if you are dying to own a Samsung, keep an eye out for upcoming models in the near future - you may just be in for a surprise once they go big-time with phones in the latter half of 2003!
