I tired the camera first; I was prejudicial without much hope. The camera has a very slight line on the top of the phone, next to a mirror and a lamp. This is the first problem: the lamp is too close to the camera, so when exposing, the picture is covered with a thin white fog. I can’t say anything else: it’s a constructional mistake, pretty big though, so the lamp is no good at all.
The phone has to be hold horizontally when taking a photo. There is auto-focus but in the way that means. You can’t push the button halfway in, when you want to take a photo. When you want to expose – and this made many people laugh – the display gives a sign: "Don’t move the device; focusing", then the photo is taken. No macro mode, only a few options despite it is a Samsung, but usual for a Symbian. A few effects, a couple of environment themes, changeable size and quality. Judging by the test pictures we can figure out that the i550 optics took noisy, but not satisfyingly detailed pictures, might burn in around lighter spots, and the contrast is very high. We have to admit: there are many things to correct with it.

Videos are taken in 352x288 pixels, and these can be edited with the Video Editor program a little bit, but this only means a few things. A "photo-film" can be made with the same program that puts chosen pictures after each other giving us a small movie. We can use some effects and put narration under the film.
I have to pull the media player down despite the 3.5 jack-plug, because there is no equalizer. This is strange because every Series60 Nokia has it in itself; I don’t know why it has been missed out. Anyway, the media player brings the usual stuff; the songs can be sped up if the number ‘2’ or ‘8’ is pushed long enough. The loudspeakers are better than the usual, but standard headphones aren’t very good things, however, all other headphones can be used instead of it. The FM radio is a simple one, no RDS, but there is automatic tracking – at least -, and the stations can be stored, as well. It has no other extras.
