Samsung Galaxy 3 Review

(I5800) Score: 46.8 / 100

Samsung Galaxy 3 is a decently made phone launched in June 2010, equipped with a medium sized 3.2-inches multi-touch display, a good 667 megahertz processing unit and a 3 mega-pixels back-facing camera. Let's take a closer view of what this cellphone has to offer.

This device is 4.47 inches long, it just packs a smaller 3.2" screen. Samsung didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 3.84 oz cellphone.

Samsung equipped this device with a good processing unit running at 667 MHz. This cellphone comes with a 174,08 MB internal memory, a mediocre amount that may be adequate for basic users considering that it also has an SD memory card expansion slot to store songs, pictures and videos and even some applications that can be installed in the external memory.

This cellphone is equipped with a nice 400 x 240 3.2-inches screen, giving this device a regular graphical experience. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This cellphone includes Wi-Fi connection (but it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a router) and fast 3G internet connection, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Samsung Galaxy 3 works with a SIM card for GSM services.

The Samsung Galaxy 3 is equipped with only a 3 mega-pixels back facing camera. This phone can also capture QVGA 320x240 videos at 15 fps. The camera also features a couple of useful features like fast burst mode, auto-focus and smile detection shooting.

The 3 also comes with a few nice characteristics such as Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth devices, computers and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Samsung Galaxy 3 features a 1500 mAh medium sized Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some moderate use. Samsung informs a stand by time of 625 hs and a talk time of 15 hours for this cellphone.

Samsung is offering the 3 for $ 205, which is a really high price for comparing with other similar phones.
