The Samsung Instinct HD is an interesting device that could be categorized as a mixed bag. This phone is somewhat of a smartphone, but not quite. It has decent performance, but it’s not a full smartphone that it could be judged as such. That’s normally the case with Samsung devices. They fall in somewhere in the middle a lot of times. And that’s how the Samsung Instinct HD is.

CNET writes, “The Samsung Instinct HD offers a sleek design with an attractive user interface and a brilliant display. Its HD-capable camera is one of the best around, photo and video quality are sharp, and the loaded feature set includes Wi-Fi.”

However, “The Samsung Instinct HD was sluggish at times, and call quality isn’t the sharpest. The Opera 9.7 browser takes some getting used to, and the memory card slot is located behind the battery cover, which is inconvenient. It’s also quite expensive.”

In conclusion, “The Samsung Instinct HD packs a lot of features and decent performance into an appealing design. But even with all it has to offer, we’d prefer to pay less and get a full smartphone.”
