Samsung Galaxy Premier Review

16 GB (I9260)     See other variants reviews Score: 65.2 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Premier is an incredible Android phone released back in 2012, having a 4.7-inches display, a very fast Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1500 megahertz, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.9 megapixels front-facing camera. Let's take a closer view of what this cellphone offers to us.

Samsung decided to power this cellphone using a TI OMAP4470 chip, holding an extremely powerful Dual-Core processor speeding at 1.5 gigahertz and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little bit poor for a cellphone of this level. To help with graphic calculations, this cellphone also has a 384 megahertz PowerVR SGX544 GPU. The Premier has an interesting 16 GB internal storage and an SD memory slot, allowing you to store hundreds of games and apps without worrying about space.

While the Samsung Galaxy Premier is just 5.27 inches long, it manages to pack a 4.7 inches screen. The Premier has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches. Samsung made a very good optimization job making this cellphone weight only 4.59 ounces.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.9 megapixels front camera. It also captures Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps. Additionally, the camera features flash.

Samsung packed the Samsung Galaxy Premier with a completely amazing 4.7-inches screen, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes it impossible to even distinguish the pixels composing the screen. Its screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

The Premier includes wifi connectivity (and it can be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (HSPA+) internet connection, which is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and 3G fast connectivity, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device works with a Micro SIM card for GSM carriers.

This phone uses an inmense 2100 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery providing this device a quite long battery duration. This cellphone has an aproximate 790 hours stand by time and a 21.7 hs talk time.

This cellphone also comes with a few cool features like NFC, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This device is probably a little bit overvalued considering it is priced $ 125, while some similar devices cost less than that. The Premier is a good choice for you it doesn't matter whether you will use it as a social device, are looking for a gamer cellphone, are looking for a work device or you love taking pictures.
