| Bottom line | The Samsung SGH-A167 won't stand out beyond its royal blue color. Call quality is acceptable, but it's not for heavy callers. | The Samsung SGH-A197 does its job reasonably well, but it's not our choice for a prepaid AT&T phone. | Info unavailable | Info unavailable | Info unavailable |
