sunlight, the display will
automatically increase its
brightness and conversely, as
light levels decrease, the
brightness automatically reduces.
We have to admit it’s hard to tell
if this is effective, but again it’s a
nice touch from Samsung and will

Music duties are handled by the
built-in player that spins MP3,
AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ and WMA
formats, including DRM-encoded
WMA files. It’s also fully featured,
enabling you to create playlists on
the fly as well as dedicate space
for podcast downloads. You can
also access your songs by last
played, recently played, most
played, as well as the standard
artists, genres, albums and
composers.
Samsung kindly bundles a 1GB
microSD card for storage, but
you will probably need a bigger
capacity card for your music and
to share space with photos etc.
The G600 also offers three ways
of getting your music onto the
handset, all via a USB 2.0 cable
connection to your PC.
You can use the Samsung PC
Studio software, Windows Media
Player (helpful for transferring
your CDs) or the G600 as a
mass storage device by simply
dragging and dropping your song
files.
The music player’s performance
is strong, especially when we

headphones. The audio was
bassy and very lively, with good
volume. A 12-setting equaliser is
at your disposal should you need
to tinker with the sound levels.
Radio rentals
An FM radio is also on board and
interestingly, it lets you record
clips from the wireless. The Fly
Mobile SL600 slider we reviewed
last month introduced this

The G600 five-megapixel camera phone joins an elite band of handsets. But has
Samsung’s slimline slider got the pixel prowess to shine?
RIGHT now the five-
