Hi anoop to inform you about the battery life am being using samsung champ since last 2 years which has a 1000mAh battery it gives me continues charge of atleast 36 hours on continues internet and gaming, and also 15 + days standby time.
Samsung’s strategy is to fill every mobile phone market is incredible…even though those phones are powered by JAVA os, they are going to affect sales of Asha 309 and asha 310.
Most unfortunate thing is that. These phones are not available in Android platform. They are java powered
To be honest, all the phones in the list are absolutely useless. How dare samsung to release this many phones with 1000mAs battery?? even low end nokia java phones have above 1000mAs… samsung is very useless and cheating people… i m sure that the charge won’t even last for 1 day. you will see the right behaviour of phone after usage of few months..u must carry your charger where ever you go. otherwise the phone is worth may be low cost also….
These all models looks S***t at this price.
Better to buy from local brands like MMX, Spice.
Some people still interested in this. LOL
Nokia is best…
WTF all seems like crap phones .
U kiddin samsung whoz gonna pay 6k for these junk phones..
I think ASHA will got the edge over REX in the battary back up rex doesn’t come near to asha in the huge sub’s and rural market
I will not give a sh*t for this phones….such a waste..
At present, nokia asha like 309 is the king of lite smartphones with third party app support, albeit a little. The only interesting thing to see is how samsung’s full touchwiz UI will create it’s magic. I liked starII for it’s UI, good display and touch response but disliked for app support as compared to nokia. Also the REX 90′s (which is only appealing) price is insanely close to galaxy androids. I think these phones should atleast stay Rs1.5k away from tier-1 androids like galaxy pocket.
Touch wizz s**ks ! especially for bada os … these days mobiles users are app maniacs …simple saying no to any OS if no apps . now i came to know why samsung said they will ship 500 million phones in 2013 , in that 250 millions will be REX series it seems ….
Sir, which is better choice between Nokia asha 311 or Samsung Rex90?plz plz plz reply sir
Asha 311for sure ,it is very good looking phone but it has wifi issues but 2g and 3g is awesome, u can search in google about wifi issues. apart from this its an ultimate phone . great light weight os ,with wonderful touch screen with gorilla glass for protection and s40 smartphone like UI, decent apps for a basic user (no pdf (mediocre epub reader)or document viewer) .
Don’t waste 6k on nokia asha, better go for alcatel one touch glory2 available@4350 running on android 4.1.2 with 512mb ram and 4gb internal with sd card slot.
I waiting for Rex 90.gogi sir thnxs.
No 3g in any phone get lost samsung.
Well said!
Nokia asha has at-least good looking s40 os with some good limited apps , samsung bada has no future no apps nothing … how come these are competition to nokia.
Now Samsung is removing its scrap or what?
No reason as why samsung’s these feature phone populating the market. Best thing samsung would have done if they have offered their ailing Bada OS in these phones. These are nothing but their STAR series phones with new jackets.
Release of these handsets and galaxy grand clearly shows that micromax capturing attention and market from Samsung in India.
You’re damn right man
That’s what samsung provides….. feature phones at the price of smart phones. LOL!!!!! Ha ha ha
Don’t compare with nokia man, nokia is the worst of all.. Except its window series.
Tough for Nokia ASHA.
Good for nothing, since android phones are available from 300 onwards this will buy by only ignorant people ,Samsung is making people fools this should priced below 3000 rupees…
you r right dude
the price of rex 60 should be 2500
of Rex 70 should be 3000
and rex 80 and rex 90 ,3300 and 3890 respectively
i dnt think anyone would buy this phones …….10 mb internal memory lolz total waste…
