Slider settings
The slider can be configured to accept and close calls, as well as to close all open applications (except the MP3 player when settings are set properly). (These are the only settings).
Settings are available which allow for the phone to stay unlocked when closed. This is also the first Samsung phone that provides the availability to use MP3 files as SMS message tones.
Video playback and conversion
Full-length movies can be converted by using Samsung PC Studio which comes with the phone.
Mencoder can also be used with this command line to convert file inputName.flv (or any other video type) to outputName.mp4:
mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of lavf -lavcopts aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=libfaac:vbitrate=256:abitrate=64 -lavfopts format=mp4 -ofps 15 -vf scale=320:240,harddup -o outputName.mp4 inputName.flv
While recording, the video cannot be paused. The output framerate of the video is 8 frame/s.
Issues
- In some firmware versions, the first 1.5 seconds (approx.) of an MP3 ringtone is cut off. This can be circumvented by inserting 1.5 seconds of silence in the beginning of the audio file, using a digital audio editor.
- The phone runs on the AGERE II platform, causing the phone's calendar to be limited to years between 2000 and 2016.
Reception
The Samsung SGH-U600 received mostly positive reviews.
GSMArena reviewed the device; the design, the display quality, the camera quality and the audio quality were praised. However, it was noted that the glossy surface of the display caused poor display visibility under the sunlight.[6]
Kent German from CNET reviewed the device and gave it 7 points out of 10. He praised the camera quality, the display quality and the design but criticized the touch-sensitive buttons, the proprietary headphone jack and the audio quality. He also noted that there was a slight lag in the user interface.[8]
TechRadar reviewed the device, giving it 4.5 stars out of 5. In general, they were very positive about the device. The design, the camera and Smart Search file searching feature were considered as the pros while lack of 3G, lack of definition between the keys and the complicated user interface was considered as the cons of the device.[7]
