At first glance, the Samsung C5212 DUOS Noble Black can be mistaken for an ordinary budget candy bar, but in fact it has one very big highlight. It supports simultaneous work with 2-sim cards. This is the most inexpensive phone in the DUOS family.
The device has a completely traditional appearance and is made of high-quality dark gray plastic. The plastic is smooth and pleasant to the touch. The keyboard is traditional for Samsung devices, comfortable with well-separated buttons. The navigation key is also satisfactory. In general, the budget of the device is felt, but not striking, everything is done very carefully.
The display is an ordinary TFT matrix with a resolution of 176x220 pixels, which today is considered morally obsolete, but if you rarely use your phone for mobile Internet, then this resolution will be enough for all other everyday tasks. The quality of the matrix is good, it is bright and contrasting, the text remains readable in the sun. The platform is fully compatible with other current generation Samsung phones. The menu of all levels is supported by quick navigation using the numeric keys. Of the minor amenities, it is worth noting a good calendar, the presence of a timer and stopwatch, the ability to create several alarms with individual settings. Despite the budget Samsung C5212 DUOS received a built-in radio and mp3-player. The player in this device is the simplest; it does not support sorting by tags, but allows you to create your own playlists.
The camera built into the device has a resolution of 1.3 megapixels and lacks autofocus.
The function of working with two sim cards is completely similar to DUOS B5702, you can receive calls to both cards. It is worth noting that both sim cards in the Samsung C5212 DUOS work equally, from both you can make calls and use the Gps Internet.
The C 5212 battery has a smaller capacity than the B5702 - only 1000 mAh. However, despite this, the device demonstrated comparable battery life. In the order of three days with active communication via 2-sim cards, regular listening to the player and receiver.
Bottom line: Samsung C5212 is a phone with a classic appearance, a convenient menu, all the necessary functions and full support for 2-sim cards.
