Samsung Galaxy Centura Review

(SCH-S738, SCH-S738C) Score: 51 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Centura is a mid level phone, which counts with a good processing unit clocking at 800 MHz, a 3.5 inches touch-screen and a 3 MP back-facing camera.

The Samsung Galaxy Centura ships with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7625A chip, which holds a good 800 MHz CPU with 512 MB RAM memory. To help with graphic rendering, it also counts with a 128 megahertz Adreno 200 graphic processing unit. This phone comes with a passable 4 GB internal memory, which is enough for most users having that the Samsung Galaxy Centura also has an SD memory card expansion slot .

Apparently Samsung didn't care about the weight in this 4.4 ounces phone. This phone is quite slim and looks really nice, but it's not close to being one of the thinnest phones out there, with a thickness of 0.45 inches.

The Samsung Galaxy Centura includes an average 3.5 inches screen with a 480 x 320 resolution, which makes everything look good. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This phone features WiFi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices around, as a mobile mobile hotspot). This phone doesn't have a sim card, because it doesn't support GSM networks.

The Centura is only equipped with a 3 MP back camera. Additionally, the camera includes geo tagging.

This phone also includes a couple of useful features like Bluetooth (enables communication with other phones and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and a couple sensors likeProximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone counts with a medium capacity 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is not really enough for a phone like this. This cellphone has a reported talk time of 7 hs and a stand by time of 240 hs according to Samsung.

Samsung is selling the Centura for $ 120, which is not a really offer for this type of cellphone.
