Samsung Galaxy Express Review

(I8730) Score: 62.7 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Express is a high-end Android phone released in 2013, including a 4.5" screen, a Dual-Core processor clocking at 1.2 gigahertz, and 2 cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back camera and a 1.3 MP front-facing camera. Is that all? Not at all, it's only the shortest summary in the world.

Samsung decided to build this phone with a good performance Dual-Core CPU speeding at 1200 MHz, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus system chip with 1 GB RAM memory. A good aspect of this cellphone is the 8 GB quite large internal storage memory and an external SD slot, allowing the user to store hundreds of applications and games without any problem.

This phone is just 0.37 inches thick, making it one of the thinnest cellphones out there. This phone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone this size.

This cellphone has two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front camera. This cellphone can also film videos up to 1280x720 (HD) at 30 frames per second. To complete the camera, it also features flash and auto-focus.

Samsung designed this phone with a interesting 4.5-inches screen, and a 800 x 480 resolution, making everything look very nice. This screen uses Super AMOLED Plus capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This device provides wi-fi connectivity (and it can be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high performance connectivity and 3G fast internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Express works with a SIM card to use GSM services.

The Express counts with a 2000 mAh medium Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for many hours, although you will probably need to charge it after some moderate use. This cellphone has a reported 22.5 hs talk time and a 830 hours stand by time according to Samsung.

This cellphone also features plenty of interesting characteristics like NFC, Bluetooth, GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone is priced $ 95, a rather high price for this kind of phone. This phone is probably a good choice no matter if you are looking for a device for work, will use this phone mostly for social networks and internet browsing, you love taking pictures or need a device for gaming.
