Mobile Phone Reviews

The Samsung Tocco Lite is Samsung’s version of the LG Cookie, a cheap mobile phone, including a touchscreen without 3G capability and available in black, white and shocking pink. This is a fun to use phone making it easy to access Facebook, MySpace and YouTube, and with its bright, clear screen and responsive keypad a simple phone to operate.

The Tocco Lite has all the usual features you would expect a phone to have these days, 3.2-megapixel camera which performs well in daylight but not so good in poor lighting conditions, a video recorder, music player FM radio with RDS, a memory card slot and Bluetooth. Using Samsung’s Touchwiz system and downloadable applications like a clock and weather forecast, you can customize the Tocco to suit you needs.

The interface is simple to use and moves swiftly between screens, and the sound quality for music and video clips is good and has a virtual 3D system and equaliser. The battery life is pretty decent and not having the masses of power hungry applications and gadgets of the larger phones, the battery has a decent lifespan. Don’t however expect it to compete with the older generation phones.

The down points on the Tocco Lite are exactly the same as the LG Cookie, there is no Wi-Fi, 3G or GPS, and it does not come with a headphone jack. Without the luxury of 3G video clips, YouTube can appear a little shaky.

If you are looking for a decent quality budget touchscreen both the Tocco Lite and Cookie are excellent with little to separate them.
