Samsumg Champ Cons
Creating play lists in order you want them to be played , is rather a frustrating and a heavy time consuming task

No search option in audio player

Music player doesnt resume after a call

When you have got 1000 or more songs stored in memory card , its tough to maintain them in play lists

No custom equalizer in audio player . You have to be accustomized with pre configured options . No bass metallic sounds available while there is no any significant difference between available surround and wide sound modes

Social network integration is a fake . They are just links that take the user to their mobile web versions . So , no any integrated apps for social networking

An unstable Operating System ( refer JAVA table )

Video recording is limited to 295 Kbs

Cannot answer a call through headset while listening to audio player . You have to unplug the headset first and attend the call next

Camera image capture is slow . Slaw shutters

Keypad is not for big thumbs . Two thumbs down !

Until the messages are sent , you cannot attend any other tasks . Incoming calls are an exception

Not your typical video player nor video recorder . Many users agree that the video aspect of the phone is not appreciable . According to them , CHAMP is lot better at audio than video . The video player plays only QCIFs at a low bit rate but non of QVGAs . Also videos are recorded in VGA format

Many reported failures to handle large number of SMSs in conversation mode . Phone keeps restarting at every attempt , approach

The phone is notorious for not accepting the memory card as the default download location for online direct downloads , video recordings etc

The screen is a TFT resistive touch screen , but not a scratch resistive one

A minor reports of bluetooth dysfunctions after some usage

In overall , the bluetooth ( of the phone ) is considered as slow

Sometimes it supports direct downloads while doesn't let install apps through memorry cards , written by a PC . Sometimes it installs games and apps from SD cards placed by a PC while adamantly demarcating direct downloads . Sometimes it hesitates JAVA file transfer through bluetooth but let the data cable do the work . Sometimes it allow the bluetooth to perform the task in behalf of the data cable . Many are pleased to have experienced the true Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde during their life time

File recognition and handling is pathetic . Many reports of auto switch on offs while handling , managing files

Scrawling is sometimes troublesome

Stylus usage without a screen guard may lead to scratches

FM reception is not that good without the headset

Back end is hard to remove

When dragging , the screen is not so responsive . Misspresses commonly take place

Many users recommend that the phone is not for heavy browsing

Too glossy top . You can easily pass dirt , finger prints to the next generation

Customization options are average . It has got only two pre-instilled themes . No downloadable themes so far


Lack of OS / Platform . What we have got here is a budget phone with a touchable screen that provide a poor JAVA run environment , in the era of ANDROID

Poor video play back . Video converting formats are hard to measure . Supports only 3gp , MP4 formats ( only in H263 format ) at 15 frames per second

The keypad is not backlit . But the three buttons are rarely used . All major functions can be done touching the screen

While browsing , you cannot read the message just arrived . Apps cannot be minimized either

Video full screen mode doesn't fill the full screen in full

A considerable amount of auto turn off , restarting , switch on / off incidents while accessing SMS inbox , texting , browsing , calling , pausing audio player etc ( refer the the tips and facts table below for further details )

Contacts are auto Black Listed without owners prior permission

Direct downloading for JAVA apps is a pain . In many incidents the message " invalid jar" is displayed and apps go hide and seek In the game folder

Dont read PDFs and .txts

Default browser doesn't load large web pages . An infection reportedly being transmitted from old browser versions like Netront 3.1 (law cash)

The phone is widely accepted as a music phone because the music capabilities are more targeted than apps at a time where apps have become the entertainers with ever growing demand


The handset is said to be carrying MIDP 2.0 compatibility but dot jar files are hardly recognized . " INVALID JAR " is a common sight . Thousands are searching online for solutions . I suggest if you register the domain invalidjar.com - which is available at the present - and park it , you can have a good income easily

Files that exceed 52 characters in title are invisible

Local variations may apply .
C3300 - No cam version
C3303 - Comes with a cam
Also there are two further VGA and 1.3 MP variations available

The touch screen is relatively small for a touch screen phone

Poor camera . Many negative reviews towards a poor camera capture quality

No multi tasking . You cannot even minimize a single JAVA app . If you want to make a call , to do some texting while surfing etc , you have to walk around . ( have to close the running app ) . But many browsers like OPERA , BOLT , UCWEB support simultaneous calling texting etc . But not many apps , games let that happen

Average radio output

Poor JAVA support [refer the JAVA Table below]

QWERTY keypad is available only in portrait mode which makes keys so tiny that hard to press seperate

No text copy paste function

Frustrating PC support . Latest PC Studio doesn't recognize the phone . A data cable is not included in the original box either . A bad omen ?

Many have found that added words to the T9 no longer exist there

When messages get the maximum allocated number , they are auto locked . Unlocking them deleting them in most times leads to restarts

Multiple SMS sending is erroneous . " Some text is missing " is prompted

Downloaded games , apps go nowhare . While some directly downloaded apps cannot be found in the game menu , they still occupy memorry

SMSs recieved from automatticaly black listed contacts , go to Spam Box making sure that any kind of communication is not taking place between both parties

Only 500 messages can be stored . Inbox + Sent

3000 file limitation

Only QCIF videos supported , not QVGAs

Not the cam many spec sheets boast as 1.3 MP which should cover an area of about 1280*1024 . It's only 1.23 of about 1280*960 pixels

Cam doesn't Autofocus . It's a fixed focus which has to be manually zoomed in or out

Memory card reading writing failures are to be expected

File crashes , incomplete downloads places some junks in the "C " that cannot be deleted manually
