Reception

The Samsung S400i was seen as having poor specifications in some areas, the storage space of 13 MB was seen as too small, and the camera was only 0.3 MP. Reviewers praised it for being compact and comfortable to hold, its design, the clear and loud calls and the battery life, saying it can last a couple of days of heavy usage.[3] User reviews saw the phone as being good as a first phone, but also did not like the storage space, the camera, the fact that it lacked a MP3 player, and its Bluetooth features.[4] It was also considered to be easy to use, to be a good value for money, and have a good display.[5]
