Overall Review

One of the popular budget handsets that were launched by Samsung in 2011 was the Samsung Chat 527- a phone primarily aimed at the social-networking audience consisting of textaholics and others who just can’t enough of chatting done on touchscreen phones. Priced at around Rs. 4,490 currently, the Samsung Chat 527 makes the user spoilt for choice in terms of connectivity options, offering GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi, 3G and a whole host of social-networking applications, such as Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo! Messenger and the like. A dedicated email app is also provided that services all your mailing needs. Featuring a 2.4-inch TFT display with 320x240 pixels resolution, the handset also provides a clear display that makes texting and social-networking all the more enjoyable. 

Samsung Chat 527 measures 103mm x 55mm x 12mm and weighs 96 grams. It is a decent and affordable handset featuring 3G connectivity. It is ideal for those people who love to text, IM and chat 24x7 on their mobile phones. The Samsung Chat 527 features a 2.4-inch TFT display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and a pixel density of 167ppi.It also packs a 2.0-megapixel camera that offers geo-tagging functionality in addition to video recording. The device comes with only 80MB of internal memory but supports memory expansion via microSD card slot upto 32GB.

A QWERTY keypad has been provided for comfortable and easy typing. The Samsung Chat 527 offers good connectivity features, with support for GPRS, EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM evolution), 3G and even Wi-Fi connectivity.

In addition to all this, the device also comes with other features like SNS integration, Organizer, Voice memo and Predictive text input. It is powered by a capable 1000mAh Li-Ion battery that offers 3 hours of talktime and around 288 hours of stand by time. 

The Samsung Chat 527 has done pretty well in India, thanks to its affordable price and its clearly-defined target market: the ever-texting social networking youngsters.

User Interface and UI functionality

The Samsung Chat 527 comes with Samsung’s proprietary operating system- no Android. The absence of even a basic version of Android is a major drawback at a time when even budget phones come with the latest versions of the Android mobile operating system. Besides that, the user interface is pretty okay- gets the work done without too much hassle. 

Multimedia features

As the name suggests, the Samsung Chat 527 prides itself on its multimedia and social networking features. You get Stereo FM radio with RDS and MP3 player for all your multimedia needs, in addition to a 3.5mm headphone jack for easy access via earphones. You get a 2.0MP camera which allows geo-tagging and video recording as well. In addition, Samsung has included various social networking and instant messaging apps in the phone, like Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN, Facebook Chat and GTalk. Also, you get a QWERTY keypad to afford a faster and more comfortable typing experience.

Pictures and Video quality

The Samsung Chat 527 boasts of a 2.4-inch TFT display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, producing images of higher quality with ease. Video playback is also smooth, with the device supporting MP4/H.264 video formats. 

Internet support

The Chat 527 supports GPRS, EDGE, 3G networks and even Wi-Fi connectivity, addressing all your internet surfing needs. It comes with a WAP 2.0/xHTML browser that is more than capable of supporting normal browsing sessions. 

Internal and External Memory

The Samsung Chat 527 offers around 80MB of internal memory, which is actually inadequate if you’re storing a lot of images, music and other files on your memory itself. However, the device supports external memory upto 32GB by way of a microSD card slot. 

Applications and Gaming

Since the Samsung Chat 527 is primarily aimed at “textaholics” and other social-networking fans, Samsung has left no stone unturned in ensuring that the user gets easy access to all the major social networking apps and instant messaging apps, including Facebook, Facebook Chat, Twitter, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN and GTalk. However, the Samsung Chat 527 does not really have many cool games, and the absence of Android further serves to accentuate this problem. 

Battery Backup

The Samsung Chat 527 is equipped with a powerful 1000 mAh Li-Ion battery which gives good talktime of up to 3 hours on 2G and a stand-by time of up to 288 hours also on 2G. 

Connectivity Offered

The Samsung Chat 527 is well-equipped when it comes to connectivity features. The device operates on the GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 2G network and HSDPA 850 / 2100 3G network. The Chat 527 supports GPRS, EDGE, 3G and even Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. Although there is no infrared port, USB connectivity is given by microUSB v2.0 and Bluetooth connectivity v2.1 with A2DP. 

Compare

The closest competitor of the Samsung Chat 527 is the Nokia Asha 200. Both these phones share some similar features while differing from each other on some key aspects as well. While the Nokia Asha 200 is a dual SIM handset, the Samsung Chat 527 is only a single SIM handset. Also, the Nokia Asha 200 comes with a touchscreen while the Samsung Chat 527 only has a QWERTY keypad. One of the major differences between the two phones is the battery back up- the Nokia Asha packs an amazing 1430 mAh Li-Ion battery while the Samsung Chat 527 has a relatively less powerful battery of just 1000 mAh.  Yet another key difference between the two phones is that the Nokia Asha 200 ships with the Symbian S40 series operating system while the Samsung Chat 527 ships with the relatively less efficient proprietary operating system of Samsung, which is pretty slow in processing many applications. 

News Updates

The Samsung Chat 527 has been a pretty successful handset for the Korean electronics giant, especially in India as the product has a well-defined market in the youth. Another factor contributing to the success of the product is its affordability, which appeals to the price-conscious Indian consumer. The Samsung Chat 527 is available for a price as low as Rs.4,477.
