Samsung Galaxy W Review

Samsung Galaxy W is a good quality Android phone released in August 2011, featuring a 3.7 inches multi touch display, a good performance 1400 MHz CPU, and two cameras, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front-facing camera. That's everything we have to say? Not at all, it's only the starting point of a much deeper review.

The W is a bit heavy comparing to other cellphones , with a weight of 3.93 ounces. This phone is sold in 2 color options, black and white. This cellphone's thickness (0.45") is a little far from current standards, but it still feels quite comfortable in the user's hand.

This phone comes with a powerful 1400 megahertz CPU with 512 MB RAM memory. To handle graphic rendering, the W also counts with a 320 megahertz ARM Mali-400 MP1 graphic processing unit. This cellphone comes with areasonable 4 GB internal memory, which is adequate for the average user knowing that the W also has a slot for an external memory card .

This cellphone has two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front side camera. The W can also film videos in HD 1280x720 at 30 frames per second. In addition, this cellphone's camera also counts with some useful characteristics like flash, auto-focus, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization and smile detection shooting.

The Samsung Galaxy W includes a interesting 3.7-inches screen with a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes everything look colorful and brightful. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This device counts with Wi-Fi connectivity (although it can't be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G internet connection, over HSDPA, HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Samsung Galaxy W works with a SIM card for GSM carriers.

The Samsung Galaxy W also features a couple cool characteristics as Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This device counts with a mid capacity 1500 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that provides the W a quite short battery duration comparing with other similar phones. Samsung afirms this cellphone has a 530 hs stand by time and a 18.3 hours talk time.

This phone is really overpriced considering it is priced 160 dollars, while many similar devices can be found for much less money. This phone is probably very appropiate for you no matter if you want this phone majorly for internet broswing and social networks or want it for playing games.
