“City opens it mysteries… to those who can open them”
“Samsung is glad to offer a new range of sliders. We created three phones with different suites of features so as to allow everyone to choose a slider to his own liking”.
This is the prologue the official promo-site greets you with, which inaugurates a line of budget sliders: the X530, the E250 and the C300. It might sound surprising but the slogan above fully reveals the goal and the sense of these unsophisticated models release. Today we are taking a closer look at the second device in the range – Samsung E250.

The device sports a number of traits characterizing the senior offerings. For example, it can well be compared with the flagship of ultra-skinny sliders – Samsung D900. It is not about building particular design elements into the younger model - Samsung E250 is in fact an exact clone of the senior model, saving for a couple of difference in casing’s curves and the keys size. For an unsophisticated user it would be next to impossible to tell the difference between the two at a glance. All pros and cons of such approach have been discussed in our previous reviews so I won’t go over them again. I can only suggest you looking at the face-off of the two sliders. Samsung E250 is on the left and D900 is on the right.
