What's Hot

Small and lightweight, memory expansion slot, rotating camera

What's Not

Low specifications in key areas, poor camera quality, external antenna, no SMTP e-mail support

The Final Word

The Samsung A501 is a solid, but far from outstanding HSDPA-capable phone. While its compact size may be an advantage, outdated specifications in key areas mean that the A501 isn't able to fully immerse you in the Next G experience as it should.
