Good news for tech lovers and bad news for girlfriends… Yes you read it right. Samsung galaxy is the new toy of every tech lover. The mobile has everything a guy can ask for. It can save you in crisis situation, will never let you get bored and will keep you entertained when your girlfriend is boring you to death with her nonstop shopping, or nonstop chatting…no offence girls, but you’ve got to check it out. I bet even girls, including those like me, who love the looks of a phone more than its features, will fall in love with this latest happening thing. And those who aren’t tech lovers, if your guy’s got this phone, you’re going to be definitely JEALOUS…
Introduction
What does this phone not allow you to do? You can surf the net, call, chat, message, play games, photograph, watch movies, listen to music, use google maps to find your way with GPS, the list is endless! Now you must be wondering that's what most of the phones allow you to do. Well that's true but it’s like you can drive around in a Maruti800 and a Merc too! But the experience of driving a Merc, you know it guys.
Well, I’m not going to talk in technical terms. common guys, you can search the features anywhere. I’m going to give you a review from a user perspective. So let’s see how this one will give you the pleasure of driving a merc rather than an 800.
Let’s have a look at the unique features which set it apart from others -
Looks:
Okay not so great for girls, but for guys, 10/10. Yep, it’s sleek and got a nice big screen with wide AMOLED capacitive touch screen, which is spell bounding! It has a size of 320 x 480 pixels, 3.2 inches which makes it a pleasure to surf the net. It also has the Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, which basically means if you rotate your phone, the screen will change accordingly. A Horizontal display gives much better view to that movie and gives a feel of typing on a computer.
It fits well into the pocket and hand, doesn't slip, the structure is smooth and the buttons are nice. Guys are going to love it and it fits every personality, so even if your a funky dude, it’s still cool to carry this sophisticated model :)
P.S. You just have to use the phone once in front of the girl you’re trying to impress, to have the real AXE effect!!! ;)
Operating System:
It’s got Google Android, an operating system for phones which rocks!!! It allows you to download a hell lot of applications like the best task manager Asterid to awesome games like Paper Toss and some of the most addictive games I have ever come across like Word Up where you have to make minimum three alphabet words from a jumble of words… I’ll warn you in advance it’s reallly addictive and good for your vocab. It also has other useful features like seesmic for twitter. You can download applications like Google track, which basically tracks your travel while jogging, walking, trekking, etc. GPRS and Google Maps, it seems are made for this phone!!! What clear navigation! No matter where you are, you’ll find your way and never get lost. GPS rocks!!!
Speed:
Speed which this phone offers, will put any high speed net connection to shame. Test the same net connection in any other mobile and Samsung Galaxy, and I promise you’ll be surprised, this phone runs better than a marathon runner! The high speed makes chatting a fun experience. You can check your email, use twitter, google, check facebook, connect with friends, use Google maps to find your way, all in no time.
Video/Audio:
Its the only android based phone which can play divx or xvid, so you can watch dvd quality movies anytime, anywhere. You have to see a movie in this phone to know what I’m talking about. Here’s the review my friend gave for the picture quality, “Jessica alba never looked so sexy....”. Lol :D
The sound is good, clear and the phone has really high volume speakers. It has already replaced the cd player in the car! The speakerphone has a 3.5 mm audio jack and a DNSe (Digital Natural Sound Engine).
Memory:
It has 180 MB internal storage. You get a 2GB memory card free and the memory can be extended upto 32GB with the MicroSD card slot. This gives you a enough space to store a lot of music, images and movies.
Other Features:
When you scroll through the phonebook, you can scroll through it by alphabets, A-Z and stop at whichever one you were looking for. It’s easy and saves time in finding a name which is like Shez, which comes towards the end of the list in “S”. This phone will never stop to surprise you, because of the amount of stuff you can do on it.
Typing messages may take you some time to get accustomed. Since its a touch screen, there are a lot of chances you press the wrong alphabet, but that's where the smartness of the phone comes into picture. It has awesome word suggestions feature, which will actually soon make typing messages or chats, an easier task. Long chatting sessions increases the keyboard response times. It also remembers on it’s own when to use caps, even if the suggestion is in all small caps. Smart isn't it?
It connects to any device via USB!
A few Shortcomings:
It has Android 1.5 whereas the latest version is 2.1. Although an upgrade has been officially announced in Germany.
It has No FM radio. Typing messages may take some time to get used to it, like mentioned earlier.
GPRS charges will make your phone bill go through the roof! But it’s totally worth it. It’s worth every penny you spend on it. You don’t need any other net connection, if you’ve got this one.
It doesn’t have many racing games.
It has No Flash in the camera. It yet takes good pictures!!! Trust me on that. Before buying this phone, my friend had read a review which said that the camera doesn’t have flash, yet takes good pics. It proved to be correct. Have a look at some pics taken at night:
Btw, he’s a BSc. in Photograhy, yet he couldn’t resist buying this phone because the other features are too tempting to be ignored for this small li’l flaw.
You can't transfer files via bluetooth. Hmmm here’s a bit of a problem. You can’t transfer anything from this mobile to another and that’s quite sad. But on the positive side, it connects to any device vis USB. Another catch, you gotta carry your wire everywhere :( Yet the phone rocks!!!
No good free PDF viewer. Well you can always buy one! Not such a big thing, PDF viewers are available in the market for around… and am sure if you need it, you can invest in it a bit.
Comparison & Pricing
I have used other Samsung phones like Corby, the touch screen sucks; Samsung Star 2G 5233, My Samsung:
Well even I use a Samsung phone, which is for around 8K with 3G. Quite not worth it! What’s the use of 3G when there are a very limited options of viewing gmail, etc.? You can’t chat, can’t forward messages with images, can’t view mails with images because there is no option of load images, is very slow, etc. It basically provides you with net connection in your mobile but spoils the experience. Like I said in the beginning, the difference between driving a Maruti800 and a Merc. Hey, no offence to M800, but guys there’s for sure a huge difference between the comfort of the two cars. Of course I know you have to pay a heavy price for Merc, but thats where our little secret lies.
Guess what, you don’t really have to sell everything to own this master piece! It’s very reasonably priced. You get for only Rs. 13K, inclusive of taxes. Surrrprised??? I know you’re getting a hell lot for that much and it’s worth every rupee you spend on it.
Conclusion
In short, if you had any plans to buy a new laptop, after using this phone, you’ll put your plans to rest in peace. Its a chalta phirta (almost as good as a) mini laptop and a very good one too. My next phone is definitely going to be Samsung Galaxy.
Hey, another use of the phone, if a Boy forgets his girl’s important work or some important date, fortunately Astrid is there to help him keep tasks on track and with in timeline!!! Yohooo for all you forgetful men…
So all you girls and ladies wanting to gift something to your guy, wanting to make him love you forever, then this is the one!
And for girls who want to rock and bowl over others, this is a perfect one. I’ll give a diva quotient of 10 for girls who carry this smart phone and manage everything online, onmobile.
So did you get the point, it doesn’t really matter whether you’re a girl or a guy, buying this phone is a Must and the Best. Whether you buy it for yourself or as a gift for your guy/girl, it will never let you down. So go for it and enjoy the experience of being online, 24X7.
