A sequel to a bestseller, the Samsung S5260 Star II has good genes and a lot to live up to. Building on a successful recipe is a shortcut to success and that’s exactly what Samsung have done with the Star follow-up.

The latest TouchWiz interface to put users in control of the Samsung S5260 Star II. It’s the feature phone variety of TouchWiz rather than the Bada OS but, with added multitasking and improved homescreen, Bada won’t be badly missed.

There are always ups and downs to buying a phone in this class – here’s the list of pros and cons for the Samsung S5260 Star II.

  1. General: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, GPRS/EDGE class 12
  2. Form factor: Touchscreen bar phone
  3. Dimensions: 107.4 x 54.0 x 12.5 mm, 93.9 g
  4. Display: 3" capacitive TFT touchscreen, WQVGA resolution (240 x 400 pixels)
  5. Platform: Latest TouchWiz UI with multitasking
  6. Memory: 30MB user available storage, hot-swappable microSD card slot (up to 16GB)
  7. Camera: 3 megapixel fixed focus camera with smile detection, QVGA video recording
  8. Connectivity: Wi-Fi b/g/n; Bluetooth 2.1 (A2DP); standard microUSB port; 3.5mm audio jack
  9. Misc: FM radio with RDS; accelerometer sensor; Facebook and Twitter integration; DNSe sound enhancement; Find Music recognition service
The lack of 3G connectivity isn’t a surprise on the Star II – Samsung wanted it to be as affordable as possible. The lack of multitouch though is a disappointment – it’s one of the major points of a capacitive screen. We should note perhaps that the unit we tested wasn’t completely finalized.
