Samsung Galaxy 5 Review

(I5500, I5503) Score: 44.7 / 100

Samsung Galaxy 5 is a decently made phone released back in 2010, equipped with a 2 MP back facing camera, a powerful processing unit clocking at 600 MHz and a small 2.8-inches display. But let's get into a bit more detail.

Samsung sells this device with a good 600 megahertz processor. This cellphone has a 102,4 MB internal storage memory, which could be adequate for basic users considering that this phone also has a slot for external memory cards to store songs, photographs and videos.

The 5 isn't really a compact cellphone, taking into account that it is 4.25" long,but it just holds a 2.8 inches display. Samsung appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 3.6 oz cellphone.

This cellphone has only a 2 MP back side camera. It is also able to capture videos in 320x240 (QVGA) at 15 frames per second.

This phone is equipped with a good 320 x 240 (QVGA) 2.8" display, providing this cellphone with a nice graphical experience. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, but it doesn't allow multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone includes wifi connection (but it can't be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G internet connection, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This cellphone also comes with a handful of interesting characteristics like Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and Accelerometer.

This phone comes with a mediocre 1200 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it even after moderate use. This cellphone has an aproximate 8.7 hours talk time and a 521 hs stand by time.

This device is priced around 415 dollars, which is not a really offer for this kind of cellphone.
