Samsung Galaxy Spica Review

(GT-I5700)     See other variants reviews Score: 48 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Spica is a mid-to-low level phone, featuring a 3.2 MP back facing camera, a 3.2" capacitive touch-screen and a powerful 800 megahertz processing unit. Is that all? No, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Samsung ships this cellphone with a powerful 800 megahertz processing unit and only 128 MB RAM memory. This cellphone has a 204,8 MB internal storage, a little amount that might be adequate for basic users considering that it also has an SD extension slot to store songs, photographs and videos and even some apps that can be installed in the external memory.

This cellphone is a bit thick compared to today's cellphones, with a thickness of 0.52". While this cellphone is 4.53 inches long, it only comes with a much smaller 3.2 inches display. Samsung didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 4.23 oz phone.

This cellphone includes an average 3.2 inches screen with a 480 x 320 resolution, which makes everything look quite nice. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, but it's not multi-touch.

This device offers wi-fi connectivity (but it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a wireless router) and fast 3G connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM connection.

The Spica has only a 3.2 mega-pixels back side camera. It can also shoot videos in 352x288 at 15 frames per second. In addition, the camera includes auto-focus.

This cellphone counts with a 1500 mAh medium Li-Ion removable battery, which is quite poor for a device like this. This phone has an estimated 9.3 hs talk time and a 450 hs stand by time according to Samsung.

This phone also includes some cool features like Bluetooth (allows communication with other phones, computers and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and some sensors likeAccelerometer and Compass.

The Samsung Galaxy Spica is really overvalued considering it is offerred for 75 dollars, while many similar phones cost much less than that.
