Hi Everyone! This Is David From Geek Annoyance

and this is my full review of the Samsung Galaxy Why now you all remember me unboxing and giving you a proper tour of this on the Geeky Noise Channel so I’m not going to cover a foul ground. I’m not going to run through the specification of this one. If you miss the unboxing and product or open a link underneath. This video in the description also little annotation on the screen so you can go ahead and watch that video. This is a budget end Android based handset.

This Is Going To Cost You Around About

a hundred pound on page ago from somewhere like Vodafone CO Dot Uk’ who are kind enough to lend me this for this review and that equates to around about one hundred and fifty dollars in the UK or it’s going to be ten. Pound fifty a month Now let’s go into settings and we’re just going to go down to a battle phone and show you that this is running ANdroid version 2. 3 point six. It’s got quite a low resolution screen. It’s not the sort best screen of ever experience, but for a three-inch screen.

I Think Its Nice Sort Of

coloring nice and responsive and it certainly does get the job done. Let me just pop into my email. I want to show you the on-screen keyboard, so let’s just let it download the messages here. I’m going to go into a message here. You can see the source size of the text and that gives you an indication of what a low res screen would look like.

Let Me Me Just Click On Show

quoted text just down here here we go so. This shows you sort of sort of what you’re going to experience for an email. Now it’s still readable Don’t get me wrong. It’s still very readable, but just a lower resolution screen. So let’s click reply and in compose email.

This Is Something What A Lot Of

people ask me how the keyboard looks in both landscape and portrait would import rate We’ve got a very small UK keypad here and I can type in with my thumb’s and I’m missing the keys you can see already I’ve made a mistake there let’s go back and try and hit that there we go thanks Mr.. key again. There we go thanks for your email that’s terrible typing proves how big my thumb’s are so that’s full stopping and hit return and then we go round. into a landscape orientation let’s try that again again with thumb typing and again much better as you can see so This landscape orientation much much better for typing out texts and emails.

Its A Decent Size.

I think when you’re round in this orientation in portrait orientation you’re either going to have to lay onto a desk and use your fingers or if you’ve got small hands you should be okay but this is a small phone and you’re working on a 3-inch screen to do bear that in mind now I’m going to go back to the home screen. Using this center button just point out you you have got three screens that you can populate with shortcuts and widgets so that’s extremely good and we’ve also got a nice phone dialer for going to the phone dialer nice size buttons for making phone calls. I’m going to. off in this section about the voice quality and the Samsung hardware is very good.

The Earpiece Here Extremely Good Incoming Call Quality.

The microphone pick up on the bottom I did have some people say I sounded a little bit graty. In some of the phone calls I might made that might have been down to the cold I had at the time or it might been down to the connection. But certainly this didn’t produce as clear vocals as some other hands. It was a still acceptable.

They Didnt Have A Trouble Hearing

what I was saying but just a little bit great at times. So we also got call logs favorites and contacts built into that dieter as well let’s go back out to the home screen that’s worth noting. This is obviously got the Google Market on here as well so you’ve got full access to. All of the applications will be the little previews aren’t loading at the moment it’s go across the top page and see if it loads them in there so it’s a little bit slow on picking up the icons. Maybe it is my connection, but we’ve got oh there we go so it’s caught up with itself there and loaded in all the icons.

So Weve Got Full Access To

Google Market apps they do format okay to this screen let me go into an app that I already downloaded, which was Lane splitter now let’s start this running here. We go and we give you a little look at a game running let’s turn the volume down a little bit okay about midway and you can see how something like this runs this I’m using the the Gyro or Cetera meter in the phone to steer my bike and I’ve just got to avoid all of the cars. They’re trying to cut me up. I can touch on the screen and put a wheelie if I say wish but I lose there you go look at that cut me up big time. Let’s try that one more time just put a wheelie mmm When you’re in wheelie style You lose all your steering so don’t do that too often and it runs and all right speed and looks surprisingly good.

Let Me Give You A Close-Up Of

this it looks surprisingly good on the screen so very pleasant gaming. Actually it’s not going to handle games as well as some of the higher-end handsets, but it’s certainly more than playable there we go so that’s that’s giving you an idea anyway of the of the gaming solve aspects of this handset it’s going to be acceptable on this all game. If you go up to some of the real high-end games. You might struggle a little bit with framerate but in my experience and testing it’s been absolutely fine there we go let’s crash into him. Let’s finish that so back out to the home screen and just want to talk a little bit about the camera.

Im Not Gonna Actually Show You Any

photos because the cameras been a little bit of a letdown 2 megapixel camera again ok for the occasional snap but not particularly good back to life on this this has been great standby time. Not using it too much Maybe three to five days easily on standby time. If you’re using it quite heavily. You’re still going to get a full day and a half use out of it. So the Samsung Galaxy y comes with a lot of pre installed applications.

Youve Got Your Gmail Their Uk

radio music application gallery calendar We’ve also got UK which we’re going to dive into now and I want to show you a UK video playing back so here we go it’s some rotate to go to fullscreen and I’m gonna put the volume up so you get to hear the volume of the little speakers. So the volume more than acceptable is a good viewing experience for videos actually but just wanting to point out you on this viewing access very bad viewing angles on this viewing axis much much better so if you look. In top down on it, you’re still going to be able to see it So if it’s propped up on a desk, you’ll be fine, but if you’re looking at this sort of funny angle here you do lose a lot of the clarity of the screen but straight on nice colors and again like I said just a second ago really good sound for viewing back videos. Let’s have a very quick look at some internet browsing just go into the browser. It’s back across here and into internet and we’re going to go into the Apple website just for want of a better website and I missed the e-oh dear let’s do it again comm there we go and we connected over UK at the moment and it’s loaded and nice and quickly.

This This Is What It Looks Like In

sort portrait format You can see The text is a bit difficult to read until we zoom in but Pinch-to-zoom works Nice Nice and responsive to the pinch-to-zoom let’s turn this round into landscape again. Nice and quick to switch around into landscape and again. Pinch-to-zoom works Nicely and we can navigate around a website with ease so good viewing experience or surfing experience for internet sites as well. So this is the Samsung Galaxy why as I said this is a budget end handset hundred pounds on page ago from Vodafone code at UK or you can get a free on contract from ten pound fifty a month. I think this is a good choice.
