Samsung Galaxy Win Review

Dual SIM (GT-I8550, GT-I8552)     See other variants reviews Score: 60.7 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Win is an interesting Android phone, packing a very powerful Quad-Core processor ticking at 1.2 GHz, a 4.7-inches display, a 5 MP back camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. Let's take a deeper look at what this phone can do.

Though this cellphone is just 5.25 inches long and 2.78 inches wide, it's able to fit a a 4.7 inches screen. This cellphone is just 0.38" thick, making it one of the thinnest phones currently available. Samsung sells the Samsung Galaxy Win in 2 different color options, gray and white. This cellphone feels much lighter than what you expect from a phone like this.

Samsung decided to design the Win using a high performance Quad-Core processing unit clocking at 1200 MHz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 8225Q chip and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little poor for a phone this powerful. Graphic intensive tasks usually consume a lot of processing time, so the Win also has a 245 MHz Adreno 203 GPU to help handle those graphic tasks. A good point of the Samsung Galaxy Win is the 8 GB quite big internal storage and a slot for external memory cards, which allows the user to install hundreds of games and applications without any problem.

Samsung packed the Win with a nice 4.7-inches display, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , making everything look nice. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This device has wi-fi capability (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G internet connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Samsung Galaxy Win uses two SIM cards to be able to to work with 2 different phone lines or carriers in the same phone.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 5 megapixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front-facing camera. It is capable of capturing 720x480 videos at 30 fps. To complete the camera, it also counts with some nice characteristics: flash, auto-focus and fast burst mode.

The Samsung Galaxy Win also includes a few cool characteristics like Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS Navigation, and a few sensors likeProximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone packs a medium 2000 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some moderate use.

Samsung offers this phone for 175 dollars, which is high for comparing with other similar phones. No matter if you need a phone for work, are looking for a cellphone to play tons of games or will use it as a social phone, this cellphone is definitely very appropiate for you.
