Samsung Galaxy Ring Review

(SPH-M840) Score: 57.8 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Ring is a pretty good Android cellphone, with a 1.4 GHz processor, a medium 4" multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. We will get a better idea about this phone's characteristics when we get into specific details.

This phone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a device this size. The Ring is only for sale in color black.

Samsung ships the Ring with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8655 system chip, including a powerful 1400 MHz processor and 1 GB of RAM memory. Handling graphic calculations, this phone also uses an Adreno 205 GPU ticking at 245 MHz. This device counts with a passable 4 GB internal storage, which is adequate for the average user considering it also has an SD extension slot .

Samsung packed the Samsung Galaxy Ring with a nice 4 inches display, and a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes it hard to see the pixels that compose the display. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This phone provides wifi connection (and it can provide it to other devices acting as a wireless router) and 3G connection type, supported by EV-DO A technologies. This device doesn't use a sim card, because it isn't a GSM enabled device and it works in CDMA networks.

This cellphone has two cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 1.3 megapixels front-facing camera. This cellphone can also shoot 1280x720 HD videos. In addition, the camera features a couple of interesting features like auto-focus, flash and geo tagging.

This cellphone comes with a 1750 mAh medium sized Li-Ion removable battery providing the Samsung Galaxy Ring with a not very long battery duration. This cellphone has a reported stand by time of 490 hours and a talk time of 8 hours according to Samsung.

The Ring also comes with a couple nice features as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is being sold for $ 79, quite high for a phone this level. This cellphone is probably the right choice it doesn't matter whether you need a phone to majorly use social networks and internet browsing or are looking for a gaming phone.
