Samsung Freeform III (MetroPCS)

The Samsung Freeform III remains a good choice for anyone needing a lightweight, budget-priced phone that's great for texting.

 

Front

The Samsung Freeform III measures 4.4 by 2.4 by 0.4 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.3 ounces.

Angle

Samsung revised the Freeform's keyboard once again; while it was already pretty good, now it's like a 7/8ths scale BlackBerry Bold instead of a Curve, and I could type quickly on it without a problem.

Back

The Samsung Freeform III's 1.3-megapixel camera has no flash or auto-focus capability. Test photos looked soft and a little blurry for the most part. 

Right

The Freeform III works as a music player in a pinch, but it can be a pain to use.
