Samsung Galaxy Win Review

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

Samsung Galaxy Win is a good quality device, including a medium 4.7" screen, a very powerful 1.2 GHz Quad-Core CPU, and 2 cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera.

This cellphone feels much lighter than what one would think about a device this size. The Samsung Galaxy Win is just 0.38" thick, making it one of the thinnest phones in the market. This phone is a very compact cellphone, given that it presents a 4.7" display and it's just 5.25 inches long. This cellphone is for sale in two color options, gray and white.

Samsung sells the Samsung Galaxy Win with a very fast 1.2 gigahertz Quad-Core processor, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 8225Q system chip with only 1 GB RAM which is a bit low for a device this powerful. Graphic calculations often consume lots of processing time, so it counts with an additional Adreno 203 graphics processing unit working at 245 megahertz to help the CPU with those tasks. A nice feature of this device is its big 8 GB internal memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows you to store hundreds of applications and games without any problem.

The Samsung Galaxy Win is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. It can also shoot videos in 720x480 at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera counts with some interesting features like auto-focus, flash and fast burst mode.

Samsung designed this phone with a interesting 4.7 inches display, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , making everything look good. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

The Samsung Galaxy Win has Wi-Fi capability (and it can provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Win works with a SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone also comes with some useful features such as Bluetooth (for communication with other devices and accessories) and GPS Localization, and some sensors likeProximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone uses a 2000 mAh medium Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is quite poor for a thirsty cellphone like this.

Samsung is offering the Win for $ 175, which is not a good offer for comparing with similar cellphones. This phone is probably a very good choice it doesn't matter whether you want this cellphone for work, will use this cellphone mostly for internet broswing and social networks or are looking for a phone for playing games.
