Samsung Galaxy Fame is a mid-end phone released back in the year 2013, including a powerful 1000 MHz processing unit, a 3.5" display, and two cameras, a 5 MP back side camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front camera. That's all? No, it's only the beginning of this in-depth review.

This cellphone is equipped with a powerful 1 gigahertz processor and 512 MB of RAM. Graphic rendering generally eats lots of CPU processing time, so it counts with a Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU speeding at 250 MHz to improve overall performance. This cellphone has a 4 GB internal storage memory, a passable amount that should be enough for the vast majority of users considering this phone also has a slot for SD memory cards .

This cellphone is slim and comfortable, though it's not close to being one of the thinnest cellphones out there, with a thickness of 0.46". Samsung offers this cellphone in two color options: blue and white. It seems like Samsung decided not to care so much about the weight in this 4.25 oz device.

This cellphone has an average 3.5 inches display with a 480 x 320 resolution, providing this cellphone with a decent image quality. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This device features a 1300 mAh medium capacity Li-Ion battery that can keep it running for many hours, but you may need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. This device has an aproximate stand by time of 420 hs and a talk time of 8.7 hours according to Samsung.

The Samsung Galaxy Fame counts with WiFi capability (which it can provide to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone comes with two SIM cards so it's able to work with 2 different carriers or phone lines at the same time.

This cellphone also features a handful of cool features such as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your cellphone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and some sensors likeProximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Samsung offers this device for 120 dollars, which is a very high price for comparing with other similar phones. It doesn't matter whether you want it to play tons of games or are looking for a device to mainly use social networks, you will definitely love this device.
