Samsung Champ C3303 vs. Samsung Genoa C3510 - Entry-Level Touchscreen Phone Battle
Again, for those who've been emailing me to make one,
TechPinas' Samsung Champ C3303 vs. Samsung Genoa C3510 Definitive Comparison Table --
Tough call.
I've had the chance to play with both of these phones and I'm personally favoring Champ - if only for its touchscreen. For me, Champ is proof that capacitive is not always better than resistive -- because at the end of the day, feedback quality is what matters. In my opinion, Champ is a bit better than Genoa in this department.
Also, I like Champ's Touchwiz Lite UI; It's simple and easy-to-use, and it makes no pretense of being a smartphone UI.
