Samsung Guru 1205 Review

Overview

Very Basic

Samsung Guru 1205 Design and Build Quality

The Samsung Guru 1205 is a candy bar style device with an alphanumeric keypad. It is a basic phone with a simple design. Made out of plastic, the device is small has an average build quality. The back cover is a bit on the slippery side and does not fit on the device very well.

User Interface and Comfort to Use Samsung Guru 1205

Packed with a proprietary Samsung user interface, this simple phone will not be a problem to navigate through. Its compact size will almost make you forget it is there if you put it in your pocket. Even those with small hands will have to problem navigating the device one-handed.

Telephony and Phonebook

With the ability to save up to 1000 contacts, there should be plenty of space to save all your personal and work numbers.

Messaging and Emails

You can also save up to 500 text messages on the device. There is no threaded-view for a chat style feel available. As a basic device, you will not be able to send/receive picture messages or have email accessibility.

Gallery, Photo Viewer and Video Player

Because there is no camera on the device, hence there is not a gallery to view pictures. There is no supported video player so you will not be able to play any media on the Guru.

Samsung Guru 1205 Music Player and FM Radio

While there is a lack of a music player, you can listen to FM radio through the Guru. You must plug in a 3.5mm headphone in order to take advantage of this feature. The quality of the audio itself is very good for a basic device such as this.

Samsung Guru 1205 Camera and Image Quality

The Guru lacks a camera so you will need to carry a camera for taking pictures on the go.

Video Camera and Video Quality

A video camera is obviously absent as well from the Guru.

Samsung Guru 1205 Connectivity Options

The dual band Guru has access to GSM 900 and 1800 MHz bands. While it lacks USB port and Wi-fi support, you do have Bluetooth connectivity.

Organizer and other Utility Tools

You will find some basic utility functions such as a calculator, converter, and memo on the Guru.

Web Browser and Applications

Internet browsing is not available on the Guru due to its lack of a web browser.

Google Maps and GPS

As what would be expected with a device with no internet connectivity, you will also have no access to navigational tools.

Distinctive Features

Battery life on the Guru will get you through four to five days with no problem.

Value for Money and Verdict

At a price of Rs. 1250 (approx., may vary), the Guru will not burn a hole in your wallet. This is a very basic device that will cater to those who are looking primarily for the basic functions of calling and texting. Call quality and reception is very good on the Guru. Overall, the Guru is a good handset that offers a low price, quality phone functions, and no thrills.
