Samsung SGH-E700 Camera Phone Review

By Ian Bell February 1, 2004

Quote from the review at HardwareZone:

“Samsung has finally removed the antennae from their clamshell mobile phones with their latest SGH-E700 handset. Prior to this release, the entire line of clamshell mobiles from Samsung has an unsightly antennae sticking out from its otherwise exquisitely designed exterior. Not only was the antennae a thorn in the eye, it is also a point to consider when one is shopping around for a mobile phone. The exterior antennae, as we know it, has been deemed as an outdated and redundant design for mobile phones ever since Nokia introduced its antennae-less 3210. Suffice to say that from that point forth, antannae-less designs were the kind of phones that everyone was going after. “

Have a Samsung Galaxy S23? Don’t update your phone to One UI 6.1

Samsung started rolling out its One UI 6.1 update last week, bringing its Galaxy AI features to the Galaxy S23 series and other Galaxy phones and tablets. Unfortunately, it looks like the update is doing more harm than good.

Over the last couple of days, there have been seemingly endless reports of One UI 6.1 wreaking havoc for Galaxy S23 owners — including everything from unresponsive touchscreens, fingerprint sensors not working, and more.

This Android phone is so bad I couldn’t review it

I can’t review the Punkt MC02. I went into it quite excited, as I liked the Punkt MP02’s unique style. I expected to treat the MC02 like any other smartphone by putting my SIM card inside and using it every day to assess whether it was a device worth buying. But this privacy-first phone does not make life easy, and although I’d be happy to put in the effort with the software if the hardware was really cool and enticing, unfortunately, it is a serious letdown at every turn.

There’s a chance I’m not quite as security-focused as the MC02’s intended audience, but if that also describes you, then you should approach this phone with a very open mind, a great deal of patience, and very low expectations. This is why.

I turned my phone into a camera, and I don’t want to go back

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra has one of the best cameras I’ve used on a smartphone ever, but Xiaomi also sells something that could potentially make it even better. It’s called the Photography Kit, and it’s a pricey set of accessories that puts the emphasis on the phone’s camera element to an even greater degree.

I've been using it, and although I started out feeling underwhelmed, I soon discovered the one thing that makes the Photography Kit unique, exciting, and incredible. It's so different, in fact, that it's poised to change the way I think about phone camera accessories in the future.
A phone accessory unlike any other
