Samsung Galaxy Review

The good news for regular Samsung users is that the Galaxy is in keeping with the same well known Samsung design, making using the phone very straightforward. A popular smartphone, the Galaxy has features such as a barcode scanner, turning the handsets built in camera into a scanner then accessing the information via the internet to get the best prices for that product.

The 3G technology available with the Galaxy means accessing the internet via the Wi-Fi feature ensures quicker downloads and faster connections. Another popular feature on a lot of the latest mobile phones is a GPS tracking system, helpful if going out of town to find one’s way around. The Samsung Galaxy also offers a tap touch screen similar to the iPhone and has Bluetooth making hands free telephone calls much easier for those on the go.

Some users of the Samsung Galaxy may find that trying to text in landscape is awkward as the keyboard is rather small and fairly clumsy to use, but after a few tries it is easy enough to get the hang of.

Poor battery life is another downside to this handset, especially when using the 3G and Wi-Fi features; this seems to drain the battery much more quickly and reduces battery life to just a couple of hours.

The built in camera takes good quality pictures but seems to be very sensitive to light which can result in glare on the photographs taken, or making the pictures look ‘washed out’.

The Samsung Galaxy is a good all round phone with a few areas for improvement.
