Samsung Galaxy R Review
(GT-I9103) Score: 58.2 / 100
Samsung Galaxy R is a mid-level Android phone, counting with a 4.2 inches capacitive display, a good performance 1 gigahertz Dual-Core processor and a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera.
This cellphone has an inspired design, with a thickness of just 0.37 inches. This phone feels a bit heavy comparing to other devices , weighting 4.76 ounces.
Samsung equipped this phone with a very good 4.2" screen, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , which makes it hard to see the pixels in the screen. This screen uses Super Clear LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
This cellphone comes with a NVIDIA Tegra 2 system chip, backed up by a great performance Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1 gigahertz with 1 GB RAM. A nice advantage of this phone is its quite large 8 GB internal memory and an SD card slot, allowing the user to store a couple hundred games and applications without running out of space.
This cellphone is only equipped with a 5 MP back facing camera. It also captures videos up to 1280x720 (HD). To complete the camera, it also features a few interesting characteristics like flash, auto-focus and smile detection shooting.
The R has a 1650 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is quite poor for a phone like this. This cellphone has an aproximate 620 hours stand by time and a 9 hours talk time.
This cellphone offers wifi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G data connection, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM networks.
This device also features a couple nice characteristics as Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth cellphones, computers and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
Samsung is selling the Samsung Galaxy R for $ 120, which is not very cheap for comparing with other similar cellphones. This cellphone is definitely a great choice if you are looking for a gaming device or want this cellphone mainly for social networks and internet browsing.
