The u620 is a bit more compact and easier on the pocket, and is average or above average in most of its functions.

Introduction

Along with the LG VX9400, the Samsung SCH-u620 is one of two phones compatible with Verizon Wireless' V CAST Mobile TV live TV service. (For information about this live TV service, see our LG VX9400 review). But this oval sliding Samsung lags behind its rival from LG in several prominent aspects, including screen size (2.2" vs. 2"), TV battery life (6 hours vs. 3.5 hours), TV picture quality, Web speed, camera image quality, and the admittedly subjective “cool” factor. Samsung is superior in only one area — price. The u620 is priced at $149.99 USD with contract and rebate, $50 USD less than the LG. But that's not to say that the u620 is a bad phone. You wouldn't notice many of these shortcomings if you didn't match the two phones head-to-head like we did. The u620 is a bit more compact and easier on the pocket, and is average or above average in most of its functions.
