IT168 Evaluation Center When it comes to music phones, I believe many people will naturally think of Nokia's XpressMusic series and Sony Ericsson's WALKMAN series, but they are not so sensitive to Samsung. Recently, Samsung has continued to strengthen its influence in the mid-to-low-end product line. It recently launched a thin, light and fashionable music phone, the M3510C. It hopes to compete with Nokia's XpressMusic and Sony Ericsson's WALKMAN in the music phone segment.

At first glance when seeing Samsung M3510C, I believe most people will be the first to be attracted by its compactness and thinness. I was impressed by the size of 109x46x9.9mm and the weight of only 68 grams, which is light enough even for girls, let alone men. As for the body material, although it does not use a metal shell, the specially treated plastic shell feels very soft and feels very comfortable in the hand.

In the button part, we see that there are three operation shortcut keys specially designed for music playback at the bottom of the screen. , you can directly control music playback through shortcut keys in the standby interface. However, since these buttons are relatively narrow and close to the navigation buttons below, they are prone to misoperation, so be careful when using them. The rest of the buttons are okay, with moderate elasticity and sensitive feedback.
