Samsung Galaxy S Advance Review

8 GB     See other variants reviews Score: 60.4 / 100

Samsung Galaxy S Advance is a mid-level Android device released some years ago, in 2012, including a 4" multi-touch capacitive display, a fast 1000 MHz Dual-Core processing unit, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front-facing camera.

Samsung ships this device with a fast Dual-Core CPU speeding at 1 GHz with 768 MB of RAM. This device has a good 8 GB internal storage and a slot for an SD memory card, which allows you to store hundreds of games and applications without any trouble.

Samsung made the S Advanceavailable only in color black. Samsung appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 4.23 oz phone. The S Advance is just 0.38" thick, making its way into the thinnest phones podium.

This phone has two cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 1.3 megapixels front-facing camera. this device's back camera has a maximum F2.7 aperture so it's problems taking good pictures in dark environments. It also shoots 1280x720 HD videos at 30 frames per second. This phone also features auto-focus and flash.

Samsung equipped this phone with a very good 4-inches screen, and a 800 x 480 resolution, giving this phone a detailed graphic quality. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This phone provides Wi-Fi capability (and it can be shared with other devices around, acting as a wireless router) and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device works with a SIM card for GSM networks.

This device also includes a few interesting features such as Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone counts with a medium 1500 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery providing this device with a below average battery life. This phone has an aproximate 15 hs talk time and a 570 hs stand by time.

Samsung sells the Samsung Galaxy S Advance for 249 dollars, which is a really high price for this type of phone. This phone is probably the correct option for you no matter if you want it to take plenty of photographs, will use it as a social phone or are looking for a cellphone to play games.
