With the Samsung Slash, otherwise known as Samsung M310, you can expect outstanding sound quality for calls as well as a superb speakerphone. The speaker phone and sound quality is crystal clear and flawless thanks to the two-way capability so there will be no break ups when using speakerphone. The cell phone signal strength is much stronger compared to other cell phones and battery life is decent for a phone. The battery offers up to 3.5 hours of talk time and up to 168 hours of standby time. There are Samsung Slash accessories like extended cell phone batteries to help extend the talk time.

The LCD screen display is large, wide and has a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels with 65, 536 colors (16-bit). So you can expect to read the screen without any flaws. The same goes for the VGA 640 x 480 resolution camera and offers various camera controls and options for the best pictures to be taken on the phone. The buttons are easier to press, but are harder to press for big fingers. However to make up for the buttons, the phone slider slides smoothly and easily as though it is moving on its own with just a flick. Overall, the phone has a smooth quality texture with great performance and is a great reliable phone for starters.
