Samsung Champ Neo Duos Music Player and FM Radio

An FM radio will enable you to access local radio stations for music and talk programs. The music player will support MP3 files. Music sounds crisp and balanced through the loudspeakers. Headsets are included in the package that is decent in quality. You can also fit your own 3.5mm headphones if you want to use an alternative.

Samsung Champ Neo Duos Camera and Image Quality

The camera is a huge disappointment on the Champ New Duos. It is a VGA 0.3 MP primary camera. Images turn out blurry and pixelated. There is also no flash, so you can rule out taking pictures in poor lighting conditions.

Video Camera and Video Quality

Don't expect a better experience from the video camera on the Champ Neo Duos. Samsung simply did not adequately equip the device to handle videos. They will turn out similar to the pictures taken on the device.

Samsung Champ Neo Duos Connectivity Options

Dual-SIM standby capability allows you to keep both phone numbers active. 2G GSM networks 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 are all available bands. Bluetooth is supported up to 3.0 with A2DP and micro USB 2.0 support. There is no Wi-fi or 3G availability.

Web Browser and Applications

Samsung has built-in a web browser that will enable you to access the internet. TouchWiz has a slew of applications like Accuweather.

Distinctive Features of Samsung Champ Neo Duos

A stylus comes with the device for more accurate typing on the device. There is a slot on the device for you to slip the stylus in and out of. This makes it much more convenient than previous devices that you would have to use a string to attach the stylus to the outside of the device.

Value for Money and Verdict

At a price of Rs. 2990 (approx., may vary), the Champ Neo Duos is easy on your wallet. This is a low-end, budget device that has dual SIM capability. It has got plenty of features that Samsung does well except for the camera/video quality. For the price and quality, you can't go wrong with picking up this device.
