Samsung G600 is a solution unique to the present-day market, combining compactness and light weight with a modest price and brilliant camera, its key feature. It makes a strong challenge to its more pricey and higher-ranking rivals - Nokia N95 and Sony Ericsson K850i. Samsung G600 isn't an uber camera phone, but in some cases it manages to beat them and keeps up to their standards in others.
Nokia N95 remains the best choice for day shooting, its camera provides the best detail, brightness and color rendering quality. It beats both SE and Samsung in means of quality. Sony Ericsson wins the macro shooting contest and it does great at nighttime, producing least noise and blur. G600 shows results comparable to those of K850i in most cases though. In some cases it even did better than the SE handset
Nokia N95 seems to stay apart form its less advanced counterparts, being a hi-tech smartphone with a wide variety of functions including GPS and Wi-Fi which are very helpful for blogging. On the other hand, the immense price of the gadget tells for itself.
When it comes to the clash between K850i and G600 we step into a gray zone of sorts. Comparable in functionality, they have a distinguishable difference in price, K850i costing a hundred more euros. Samsung does better at color rendering and contrast in spite of its rival bearing a Cybershot trademark logo on the casing. This would tell negatively on the image of the Sony photo brand, we don't see any perceptible advantages over the rest of the top camera phones available on the market. G600 also has better functionality and is easier to handle - it's highly ergonomic, using the handset in everyday life is a real pleasure, it doesn't have a weird controls set like the K850i. Let alone the fact that G600 has an evidently superior build and material quality.
It goes without saying that Samsung made a winning phone in keeping with the spirit of the popular U600. It makes a strong competitor to K850i and is bound to become one of the best selling product of its class. It's easy to guess it'll beat K850i in volume of sales, which is far from being a balanced solution like that.
The market situation happens to be that one giving an advantage to the Korean manufacturer who managed to introduce an averagely priced, highly functional product with an excellent camera and high material quality coming along with a sound design and an improved interfaces. A detailed review of G600 is coming within the next few days.
