6.4/10
Informr score
The Samsung F266 currently has an Informr score of 6.4 out of 10. This score is based on our evaluation of 26 sources including reviews from users and the web's most trusted critics.

The Samsung F226 is a cost-effective slider that offers quality features and lightweight design.

When closed, the F226 is attractive in a minimalist way, with a dominant 2.1-inch, 176 x 240 pixel display, and a lighted navigational array. It’s essentially a launch pad for whatever you would like to do.

Thin and sexy, the F266 offers one-touch button access to your music, 2.0 MP camera (with flash and self-portrait mirror), and spine controls for volume, charging and memory expansion.

Slide it open and you’ll find a roomy alpha-numeric keypad, also well lit. The F266 comes with FM stereo, MP3 player, and Bluetooth.

Folks looking for a simple but competent phone with good call quality and the ability to do a little extra should consider the Samsung F266.

Pros: Slim, minimalist design. Easy OS.

Cons: Limited to being a decent phone, without the extras that move it to the next tier.

Verdict: A good phone for people who like sliders and do not want anything complicated.
