Svakom Sam Neo Review
My Verdict
Overall this toy exceeds in many areas and is only lacking in a few minor ways. The best part about the Svakom Sam Neo is the suction, the suction is incredibly strong and satisfying. The vibration is strong as well but is shallow and not as direct as I was hoping, I feel it fades away into the outer casing as opposed to inwards. The five preset patterns are great and provide a decent selection, the ability to create your own patterns and have control of exactly what you feel is amazing. The configurable apps are very easy to use, the unlimited amount of configuration is great and adds a lot to the experience as a whole.

Personal Experience
First Impressions
During my first use of the Svakom Sam Neo, I was delighted to see how easy it was to use. The apps are user friendly and simple while the physical button is incredibly simple. The suction is extremely powerful and doesn’t disappoint, the vibration is nice as well but seems shallow as it fades away into the outer casing. There are five preset patterns you can cycle between via the on board button.Digging Deeper
The Sam Neo really starts to shine when you start using the available apps on both IOS and android. The apps allow for infinite configurability, you can make your own presets, manipulate the vibration and suction in real time, and be controlled by someone you know. There are also additional presets built in to both apps, these provide some additional foundation for those who are not technically inclined.Interactive Content
Using the FeelConnect app allows for the user to connect to video content online and feel what you’re seeing, in the end it sounds better on paper but is still very enticing. During interactive content the toy seems to constantly be behind and the suction speed can’t keep up as it’s the one thing you can’t change on the toy. I like to think of interactive content as long preset patterns, if you’re not into creating your own patterns you can simply choose a different video for a new experience.The apps
The Sam Neo has a variety of different ways of functioning, besides the standard way of using the built in button to cycle through preset patterns there are other fun things you could try. The FeelConnect app is has more to offer as it has more built in presets, touch control, and interactive content. Couples could try using the SVAKOM app it has a Remote Mode that allows another user to control the toy from their phone, you could even video call, send messages, and use an emoji library to communicate.Design
The design is sleek and stylish that also feels nice. I would describe the design as being modern and simple, I prefer simple designs so it works well for me. The design is a bit bulky and can be difficult to hold comfortably for extended periods of time. The one button control is convenient and easy to use.
Ease of Use
It’s very easy to get started and is essentially just two clicks away, one to turn on and the next to cycle through preset patterns. Connecting to the app is a breeze and offers a variety of different ways to control the toy, you can control it yourself, set custom patterns, or even be controlled or control other devices with the device. The app itself is incredibly easy to use, anything outside the two intended apps is where things may get complicated. The toy is fairly bulky and may not be suitable for someone with grip issues. There is a learning curve to these apps but it’s fairly straightforward.
Quality
The Sam Neo feels sturdy and high quality, no signs of poor quality. The sleeve material feels great and feels durable, it is moderately loud during use due to the vibration and suction functionality. The button is durable and reliable as well although the outer casing is of cheaper quality but is still durable.
Price
There’s a lot to enjoy about this toy most notably is the crazy strong suction that feels fantastic, paired with the varying vibrations it’s an incredible experience especially for the price of $120. The configurable apps are easy to use and add a lot to the experience, the interactive media is fun and enjoyable but not all that accurate in terms of what you’re seeing and what you’re feeling.
Performance
It did live up to expectations made online, people rave about how strong the suction is and they definitely weren’t lying this thing is crazy strong. The vibrations are strong as well but I wish they were a little more direct, they are shallow and seem to fade into the case more than anything. It is rather loud due to the suction and vibration. The speed of the suction can only be changed if you shorten the power of suction, this results in very weak suction at a fast pace you cannot have both strong suction and have it at a fast pace. The battery life is ~1 hour while the charge time is ~3 hours from dead.
Packaging
The packaging is nice and well thought out, the unboxing experience as a whole was great and really started things out on a high-note. I love the design and feel it works very well, it’s simple and its not doing much but does so elegantly. There are basic tips regarding general usage on the packaging. The box can also function as a storage box.
Materials and care
The svakom sam neo has a high-quality feel to it mostly in regards to the mechanism and sleeve itself, the outer casing seems lower quality. The inner-sleeve is made of TPE while the outer casing is ABS. The sleeve feels dense and that high-quality feel to it, it’s easy to clean, dry, and store. Cleaning should be done by removing the sleeve and using warm water while gently scrubbing the inside of the sleeve, a mild unscented soap is recommended. Dry adequately then store in a cool dry place. The product is not waterproof, a storage box is included.
Special feature
The FeelConnect app is where things get interesting, there are preset patterns and touch control which allows for real time manipulation of the suction and vibration which is great fun. But the part I loved most about the Svakom Sam Neo is that it’s compatible with interactive content, there are numerous websites online that offer interactive content my favorites are Pornhub and FeelXVideos. The main idea behind interactive content is that while watching a video the toy reacts to the actions in the video in real-time, it isn’t entirely accurate with this toy and seems slightly delayed but I like to think of interactive content as long-form presets.
