Samsung ace specifications. Samsung Galaxy Ace - Specifications

The release of the top Galaxy S has become a landmark for Samsung. Koreans have declared themselves from the best side, as sales speak eloquently - 10 million pieces of this model only in 7 months. Galaxy S turned out to be certainly successful, despite all the reservations and nit-picking (for example, a cheap plastic case), for which it deservedly received the honorary award “Recommended Site” from us and is listed in several categories at once. But other Android-smartphones of the brand are not so successful.

The main problem of average and below Android Samsung smartphones– high price compared to competitors, primarily LG. Here the calculation is for a well-known brand and for the promoted Galaxy S brand Galaxy smartphones. And the novelties slightly change this state of affairs. There are four in total: samsung galaxy Ace (Model S5830), Samsung Galaxy Fit (S5670), Samsung Galaxy Geo(S5660) and Samsung Galaxy mini (S5570). But there is still no clarity about Gio (S5660) in Russia, the model is still being discussed - whether there will be deliveries to our market.

Let's compare all the new Galaxy with the old Galaxy S, as well as with the Nokia N8, Apple iPhone 4, Blackberry 9800 Torch, Highscreen cosmo and LG Optimus 2X:

How to get a cheap version of the Galaxy S and how did Samsung manage to reduce the price? The first is the screen.. If the flagship has a chic Super Amoled, then all our heroes have ordinary TFT matrices of low resolution and not of the highest quality (brightness, contrast, viewing angles), plus a smaller diagonal. But what is remarkable is the capacitive technology here anyway (unlike the same LG Optimus). The second is the processor. If the flagship has a powerful 1 GHz chip with an accelerator, then there are only 800 MHz and even 600 MHz, the latter do not even support flash. Third - memory and multimedia. If the flagship has 8 and even 16 GB, can play, record and even edit 720p, then the available Galaxy are deprived of this, there are no codecs. Fourth - software. If the flagship has an excellent implementation of TouchWiz, then there are not many effects and animations here, applications have been greatly changed. And finally, fifth - materials. Although the flagship did not go far here, it is the materials that are the weak point of the Galaxy S. But inexpensive Galaxy went even "further" - even above the plastic screen.

These are not all the differences, but the most important ones. As you can see, the Galaxy S is better cardinally and in almost everything - the difference with the flagship from Samsung is very large. This is the key to its popularity and the unpopularity of other Android smartphones of the brand. For example, HTC has much less differences between Wildfire and Desire. Besides Korean phones and smartphones are increasingly similar to each other with an eye to Apple one way or another (the same is now with Korean laptops) - it is very easy to get confused in the assortment.

The most important and interesting thing is, of course, the Russian prices for new items in the Samsung Galaxy line. So, all devices will appear on our market in February. Galaxy Ace will cost 14,990 rubles, Galaxy Fit - 12,990 rubles, and Galaxy mini - 8,990 rubles. Against the background of analogues from LG and even HTC, this is quite expensive. But let's see what we get for this money.

Samsung Galaxy Ace

This is the most expensive and most advanced smartphone among the new Galaxy. Unlike younger models, the screen resolution is higher and the processor is more powerful, and the design is more expensive, reminiscent of the iPhone 4. The manufacturer positions Ace as follows: “for fashionable and sociable business young people.”

Specifications Samsung Galaxy Ace

Display: capacitive, TFT, 3.5” 320x480 HVGA
Processor: 800MHz
Camera: 5.0MP autofocus with LED flash, QVGA/15 video

Memory: 158MB + 2GB (included) + microSD (up to 32GB)
Dimensions: 112.4 x 59.9 x 11.5mm
Battery: 1350mAh

External resemblance to the iPhone 4 - in my opinion, this is a definite plus of the Galaxy Ace, the design is successful. Everything in this world has already been invented, and it’s not bad at all to peep a good find from a competitor. The Apple product costs almost twice as much and is a welcome purchase for many. In our project best gadget 2010” it is the iPhone 4 that is now in the lead. But don't expect a copy of Apple. The new Samsung is completely plastic, above the screen is also plastic (the Galaxy S had glass). The performance is not bad, the body almost does not creak, there are no backlashes. There is only one color solution - the classic combination of gray and black looks great.

What I did not like about the exterior of the Galaxy Ace is the model's soiledness. The case is completely glossy, which is especially critical for the back panel - it quickly paws, leaving prints of everything and everything. In addition, the surface will quickly wipe off.

In terms of controls in the Galaxy Ace, everything is pretty standard. On the right is the power button and microSD slot, on the top is the microUSB connector and 3.5 mm jack, on the left is the volume rocker. What's good, the slot for a memory card with a full-fledged "hot" replacement. What's bad, there is no camera button. On the front panel there is a central button for returning to the main screen and on the sides there are two sensors - context menu and return. Absolutely the same as in the Galaxy S.

Hardware stuffing Galaxy Ace for a price of 15 thousand rubles is rather rustic. Here the usual TFT screen with HVGA resolution is not of the highest quality and not the fastest processor at 800 MHz. But the camera is 5 MP and even with a flash (the Galaxy S does not have it), but the video is only QVGA and only with 15 fps. All the basic functionality of the camera is available - panorama, smile detection, etc. Here are examples of shooting at maximum quality:

The rest is standard. There is Wi-Fi and GPS, there is a 3.5 mm audio jack, Bluetooth and FM radio are still there, as well as a motion sensor. Software android platform 2.2, but unlike the same LG Optimus One, there is honest support for Flash up to 10.1, which is important. In addition, customization is at a good level. There is TochWiz (albeit simplified - without effects and animations like the Galaxy S), there is SWYPE and a program for viewing and editing ThinkFree documents. Standards have not gone anywhere google apps and the Google Market app catalog.

What I didn't like was the lack of localized applications (for example, Mail.Ru Agent with ICQ, Odnoklassniki widgets, VKontakte, etc.) that LG has. Besides, for some reason there are no DivX/XviD codecs, although they were still in Spica. Finally, TouchWiz itself is still inferior in terms of convenience and functionality to HTC Sense.

Samsung Galaxy Fit

This is an average series with a simple QVGA screen, but interesting design HTC style. Samsung itself positions Fit as follows: “for consumers who need a reliable assistant in professional activities and a busy social life.”

Technical samsung specifications GALAXY Fit
Network: HSDPA 7.2 Mbps 900/2100, EDGE/GPRS 850/ 900/1800/1900
Operating system: Android 2.2 (Froyo), TouchWiz UI, keyboard with SWYPE
Display: capacitive, TFT, 3.31” 240x320 QVGA
Processor: 600MHz
Camera: 5.0MP autofocus, QVGA/15 video
3.5mm headphone jack, stereo FM radio with RDS, voice recorder, accelerometer
Communications: Bluetooth 2.1, USB 2.0, WiFi 802.11 (b/g/n)
Dimensions: 110.2 x 61.2 x 12.6mm
Battery: 1350mAh

Galaxy Fit is the closest competitor to HTC Wildfire with similar design, price, functionality. The model is interesting externally. Minimal edge between the screen and the edge of the case, and a ribbed lid at the back. What is important, the Fit is not as easily soiled as the Ace. But the body materials are less expensive, plastic is of average quality. The back cover has a slight backlash. I didn’t like the assembly, but it could all be the cost of a test sample.

Fit elements are exactly the same as those of Ace with the only difference that the expansion slot has moved to the left side. The screen is capacitive, but with a low resolution of just QVGA. The picture is noticeably grainy, like the Wildfire. This is one of the main disadvantages of Fit. The processor is also not happy - there is only 600 MHz, which is felt even when “live” wallpapers are activated. It was because of the processor that flash had to be sacrificed - the situation is similar to the LG Optimus One.

The camera is exactly the same as the Ace, but without the flash. There is autofocus, there is a QVGA video recording at 15 fps. The shooting quality is no different from Ace - you can see examples in the description of the older model.

The rest is again the standard set of an inexpensive Android smartphone. There is Wi-Fi and GPS, there is a 3.5 mm audio jack, Bluetooth and FM radio are still there, as well as a motion sensor. Android 2.2 software platform with TouchWiz and SWYPE. For QuickOffice documents. Interestingly, built own navigation parallel to Google Maps. Other Google applications are available, the Market has not gone away. But the DivX / XviD codecs are again missing. However, HTC Wildfire does not have them either (although it has flash 10.1 support).

Samsung Galaxy Mini

This is the most inexpensive smartphone Samsung in our market. Accordingly, minimal functionality and cheerful youth look. Samsung is positioning mini like this: “for those who need a smart youth device with rich functionality.”

Specifications Samsung GALAXY mini
Network: HSDPA 7.2 Mbps 900/2100, EDGE/GPRS 850/ 900/1800/1900
Operating system: Android 2.2 (Froyo), TouchWiz UI, keyboard with SWYPE
Display: capacitive, TFT, 3.14” 320x240 QVGA
Processor: 600MHz
Camera: 3.0MP without autofocus and without flash, QVGA/15 video
3.5mm headphone jack, stereo FM radio with RDS, voice recorder, accelerometer
Communications: Bluetooth 2.1, USB 2.0, WiFi 802.11 (b/g/n)
Memory: 160MB + 2GB (included) + microSD (up to 32GB)
Dimensions: 110.4 x 60.8 x 12.1mm
Battery: 1200mA

Outwardly, the Galaxy Fit looks great - a fun, sporty look that accurately guesses the youth style. Black plastic, green edging and an element in the central key - I like it. The plastic is matte and doesn't scratch. Of course, it would be wrong to expect other materials for such a price, but what is there is done with high quality.

The Fit fits well in the hand, and the controls are similar to the Ace, but unlike the older models, there are no sensors on the front panel, but mechanical buttons, which is a plus. What is important, for all the budget of the device, there are no discounts - a capacitive screen, an expansion slot with a “hot” replacement, etc.

Ace S5830 is a real bestseller, a real hit of the company's sales! It is included in the Galaxy product line, as you might have guessed from the name of the model, and also falls in the range of up to ten thousand rubles at a price. Ace S5830 differs from its predecessors (and these are Fit and Gio) in that it has a fairly high-quality camera with a resolution of 5 megapixels, as well as a 3.5-inch touch screen. By the way, the camera is equipped with an LED flash, which allows you to take very good pictures in low light conditions.

Introduction

In December 2011, long past, a device under the I index began to be delivered to the smartphone market. This is the S5830, or rather, its modification. What are the differences between these two models? The device with index I has a slightly different graphics accelerator, and there is also another processor operating at a frequency of 832 megahertz.

Equipment

The delivery set of the device includes, in addition to itself, samsung battery S5830 Galaxy Ace Black, as well as a charger. The user is also given the opportunity to synchronize the smartphone with personal computer or laptop using a MicroUSB to USB cable. This cable is included with the device. Well, the set is completed by a 2 GB MicroSD memory card. It may or may not come with the phone. It all depends on the country in which the device is purchased.

Dimensions

Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 is the most real candy bar. Its dimensions in all three planes are 112.4 by 59.9 by 11.5 millimeters. The weight of the smartphone is 113 grams.

Appearance

Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 is similar to the device called S II. So to say, outwardly it is just a reduced copy of the corresponding phone. The control elements are still located, supplemented by a rectangular button, the device body has the same geometry.

Production material

The body of the smartphone is made of ordinary plastic. The back panel is painted black, the cover is not smooth, but embossed. A practical solution, considering the fact that the relief helps to avoid scratches and mechanical damage. At the same time, the lid will still rub off, and fingerprints on black plastic are much more noticeable than on white. Otherwise, we note that a chrome edging runs along the perimeter of the phone. The plastic from which the Samsung S5830 Galaxy Ace phone is made (firmware is available on the official website of the company) is glossy.

Build quality

It can please people who have made their choice in favor of this device. Smartphone specialists repeatedly conducted tests that revealed the excellent build quality of the device. The device did not reveal backlashes or squeaks during long-term operation. Not even the most ordinary crunch appeared. At the same time, the screen of the device is not protected by additional glass or plastic. That is why scratching it will not be so difficult.

Reliability and convenience

Such a small mass made it possible to successfully use the device. The Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 phone, the price of which is about nine thousand rubles, lies in the hand, very reliably. This is achieved, among other things, due to the ergonomic design, which is complemented by a perforated rear panel. It is convenient to transport the phone in any pocket, be it jeans, a jacket or an ordinary shirt.

Front Panel

It is located here. It is located in the upper part of the front side. Not far from him, to the side, perched a conversational speaker. Its volume is average, sometimes in a conversation is not enough. There is no necessary margin, for which you can automatically put a minus. Yes, the quality is generally on the level. You can hear the interlocutor from the other end of the wire legibly, the purity of the sound is not lame. But if you work in a high noise environment or the interlocutor has problems with the microphone (and maybe he speaks quietly himself), then this will be a serious problem.

Under the screen, there are touch keys that will allow us to get to the main menu, as well as go back one item. There is a backlight. It is not regulated. Illumination color - white. It is not visible in the light, although in low light conditions it becomes an obvious advantage of the device. Between the elements of the transition to the menu and the item back there is a key with which we can move to the desktop of the device. This is a standard move for the creations of the South Korean manufacturer. The key is framed with chrome-plated plastic. It has a small stroke, it is squeezed quite softly. If the user presses the button for a few seconds, a menu will open. In it we can see which applications are currently running on the phone.

Left side

Here is a thin key that allows us to adjust the volume level in the device. With its help, we can change sound mode, and control the volume in the media player that opens music files and video clips. A little higher you can find a sector in which there is a strap mount. As a precaution, this cannot be overlooked.

Right side

There is a power button on this side. It is responsible for locking and unlocking the device, as well as turning it on and off. Just below the button, you can find a compartment in which the user can install a microSD memory card. This socket is covered with a special protective cap made of plastic. When the card is installed properly, you will hear a soft click.

bottom end

Upper end

There will be more choice here, after all. The composition consists of a 3.5 mm standard wired headset jack, as well as a MicroUSB port, which simultaneously serves as a means of synchronization with a personal computer and charging.

Back panel

It has a fairly large peephole of the main camera. Nearby there is a flash that allows you to take photos of good quality in low light conditions. Well, everything ends with a sound speaker, which is covered with a metal mesh.

Removing the cover is easy enough. To do this, simply pry it off in the area of ​​​​the lower end, for a special recess. When the user removes the back cover, he will be able to find the battery of the device under it. If you also remove it, you can see the slot in which the SIM card is installed.

Conclusion and reviews of the owners

In general, the Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 makes a fairly good impression. And this cannot be ignored. What is included in the list of the main advantages of the device? First, it's a camera. Still, five megapixels are not lying on the road. Photos are of high quality, even in low light. Well, in general, and this case is no exception.

Secondly, we managed to implant the software and the operating system quite well. It works quite quickly, no special slowdowns were found during numerous tests. Thirdly, the advantage is an interesting, ergonomic design. But in order to compete with the most powerful devices in the segment, this is clearly not enough. Probably, we should say a few words about the dynamics of the device, which is distinguished by the purity of the sound.

Competitors

One of the competitors of Samsung Galaxy Ace is Huawei IDEO X5. Compared to the subject of our today's review, it has a more original design, which is automatically recorded as an advantage. In addition, 512 megabytes of RAM is built into the device, and a more powerful processor provides better performance. The processor operates at a frequency of 800 megahertz. In addition, the diagonal of this device will be larger by 0.3 inches. The screen resolution of Huawei is 480 by 800 pixels. The average cost of the device is almost the same - ten thousand rubles.

Another competitor is the LG Optimus Hub. Here we have a screen of the same diagonal. The resolution will be smaller, only 320 by 480 pixels. However, there is a camera (5 megapixels). The device has a built-in 512 MB of RAM, there is a processor of the Qualcomm family. It operates at frequencies up to 800 megahertz. The price of the device falls in the range of eight to nine thousand rubles.

Finally, we will answer the question of how to update the Samsung GT S5830 Galaxy Ace. To do this, we need firmware for the device, which can be found on the official website of the company. Appropriate programs are also needed. We are, of course, talking about Kies. After all the components are assembled, we connect the phone and start the automated file replacement process. However, the user does this at his own peril and risk, do not forget about it.

By the way, in the object of our today's review of RAM, two times less RAM is installed. And this sometimes leads buyers to the idea that it is better to take another device with better technical characteristics for a similar cost. And the built-in memory for storing user data hardly exceeds 150 megabytes.

Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830) was officially presented by Samsung only today (at 2 am Kyiv time). It is designed to strengthen the position of the manufacturer in the middle price segment, where today Samsung has a slight "sagging". I had the opportunity for a week to walk around with a pre-sale sample of this, of course, an interesting device. He has all the ingredients for success, but can he become as popular as the legendary Galaxy model Spica?

Excursion into history

At one time, the Android smartphone Samsung Galaxy Spica (GT-i5700) produced the effect of an exploding bomb on our market and became the most popular device running an operating system. Android systems. The "blame" for this was an excellent combination of price and characteristics, and neither some technical problems nor an uncertain situation with software updates could affect the popularity of the phone. The Galaxy Spica was quickly discontinued, both because of the technical problems mentioned above, and because the device turned out to be too successful and potentially cannibalized the sales of more expensive Samsung phones, in particular, the then-upcoming bada- flagship Wave (GT-S8500). A logical continuation of the super-popular "Spokes" was a device called Galaxy 580 (GT-i5800), which, however, did not become popular, since its characteristics were partially degraded compared to its predecessor. In particular, users were indignant about the reduced screen resolution (240x400 versus 320x480). Competitors, meanwhile, did not doze off and presented very interesting Android smartphones in the same (and even lower) price category- within just six months we have seen Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini and Mini Pro, HTC Wildfire, Garmin-ASUS A10, Gigabyte GSmart G1305, LG Optimus (GT540) and, finally, Optimus One (P500), which is on this moment is the most balanced and attractive offer on the market. The answer to the encroachments of competitors was a smartphone called Galaxy Ace, which is designed to return the company's leadership in the middle price segment. The name - Ace - was certainly not chosen by chance, it is such a trump card that the company pulled out of its sleeve at a decisive moment. As in the case of Galaxy Spica, key point is a combination of price and technical characteristics, but at the same time the company approached the creation of the phone carefully enough so as not to damage the sales of older models.

Specifications

With the Galaxy Ace, the company ditched its own S3C6410 processor and opted for the Qualcomm MSM7227 platform, which is a complete solution for budget smartphones. The Qualcomm MSM7227 integrates an ARMv6 processor core running at 800 MHz and GPU Adreno 200, which currently has the most full support in Android games. Full Specs smartphone looks like this:

  • Ranges: GPRS/GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS/HSPA 900/2100.
  • Form factor: keyboardless monoblock.
  • Operating system: Google Android 2.2 (Froyo) with TouchWiz 3.0 interface.
  • Display: TFT, 320x480 pixels, 16 million colors, touchscreen (capacitive matrix).
  • Camera: 5 MP, autofocus, LED backlight, geotagging, video recording (320x240).
  • CPU: Qualcomm MSM7227, clock frequency 800 MHz; integrated video accelerator Adreno 200.

  • Interface connectors: microUSB, 3.5 mm headphone output.
  • GPS: yes, support A-GPS, support Google Maps.
  • Dimensions and weight: 112x60x11 mm, 115 grams.

Appearance and design features

Personally, I categorically dislike the direction in which the design idea of ​​Samsung is developing: the phones of this respected manufacturer with each new iteration are becoming more and more similar to the iPhone. And don't tell me that the touch devices are all the same, it's not true: the same Spoke had its own and quite recognizable appearance, while Ace looks like a Chinese fake for the iPhone 3GS.

At the same time, the case materials are quite good: the front panel is covered with solid glass, and the battery cover is made of decent-looking glossy plastic. The only element of the hull that inspires concern for its safety appearance, this is a silver-colored plastic edging.

It is worth noting that recently Samsung has begun to remove a separate camera button from its phones: it was absent in the Galaxy S, it is not in the Galaxy Ace either. In my opinion, this is inexcusable, because it makes taking pictures with the phone as inconvenient as possible.

Screen

Galaxy Ace uses a 3.5-inch TFT-screen with a capacitive touch surface with a resolution of 320x480 pixels. The screen is bright and contrasting, viewing angles can be called satisfactory, but nothing more. In my opinion, in terms of screen quality, the Galaxy Ace is somewhat inferior to the same Optimus One. Apparently, there is an oleophobic coating, since the screen is reluctant to slam and then it is easily rubbed off.

There is no light sensor and, accordingly, automatic brightness control.

autonomy

The smartphone is equipped with a 1350 mAh battery. Autonomy is typical for most Android smartphones, that is, with heavy use and in large numbers mobile internet traffic he is able to work a maximum of one and a half to two days. Fully charging the battery from the mains charger takes about 2.5 hours USB phone charging a little slower.

Performance

Initially, I had information that the Galaxy Ace would be based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM7230 chipset (800 MHz Scorpion processor core and Adreno 205 GPU). Unfortunately, this information has not been confirmed, the smartphone uses the “budget” Qualcomm MSM7227 solution with Adreno 200 graphics, but the processor core is overclocked to 800 MHz. IN HTC smartphones Gratia and Samsung Galaxy Mini use the same processor at its native frequency of 600 MHz.

Despite the budget chipset, the phone performed well in the Quadrant and Neocore benchmarks. Even 9 months ago, such performance was available only to buyers of top-end Android smartphones, and today it is already the lot of mid-range solutions.

Firmware Features

The phone runs on the Android 2.2 (Froyo) operating system, on top of which the proprietary TouchWiz 3.0 shell is “stretched”. In general, the interface is not much different from other Samsung Android smartphones, such as the Galaxy S.

The Galaxy Ace has finally almost fixed the long-standing trouble of Samsung smartphones, namely, incomplete localization. In particular, the Cyrillic alphabet appeared in the quick navigation bar for contacts, which allows you to quickly search for contacts with names in Russian or Ukrainian. True, Cyrillic input is still not provided in the Phone application, so if you need a T9 search for contacts, you will have to install the Dialer One application (luckily it is free).

You can use both the standard Samsung keyboard and Swype to enter text. In the Samsung keyboard, layouts are now switched as follows: you need to press the space bar and swipe right or left. Swype also has innovations, the main of which is support for the Ukrainian language.

The Galaxy Ace, like other Samsung Android smartphones, comes pre-installed with the ThinkFree Office office suite.

The smartphone has a very good (convenient) MP3 player and FM-receiver, which has good reception quality. Of course, there are standard Android 2.2 connectivity options. mobile phone as a modem and using it as a hotspot WiFi access for distribution of mobile Internet.

Camera

The Galaxy Ace uses the already familiar 5-megapixel camera module with autofocus and LED backlight. The quality of photos during the day on the street is very good, at night and indoors it naturally falls, but overall the camera is pleasant.

And here is the entry samsung video frankly squeezed: the maximum resolution of the videos is 320x240, the movement in them is frankly jerky, as if the frame rate does not exceed 15 fps (although QuickTime shows 25 fps in the properties of the video file). Also, note that audio recording starts about a second after video recording starts.

In the dry matter

No wonder Samsung called this smartphone"Ace", oh, not in vain. Despite the controversial design and not the best quality screen, Galaxy Ace is one of the most interesting offers in the price category up to 3000 hryvnia. It even surpasses even our current favourite, the LG Optimus One, in terms of features, especially considering the excellent 5-megapixel camera and high performance for this price segment. In general, I wholeheartedly recommend this device for purchase (although, of course, I would like to get acquainted with the "corrupt" sample). 6 reasons to buy Samsung Galaxy Ace:

  • high (by the standards of this category of smartphones) performance;
  • very good combination of features and price;
  • quality camera;
  • good set preinstalled programs- You can start using the phone immediately after purchase;
  • Swype keyboard with support for Russian and Ukrainian languages.

3 reasons not to buy Samsung Galaxy Ace:

  • secondary design;
  • no camera button
  • poor implementation of video recording.

Pros:

Thin, white color, beautiful pattern on the back cover, comfortable, large screen, fast internet.

Minuses:

Headphones are not included, you need to buy separately.

General impression:

I bought it a week ago, while everything is fine, it never hung and there were no glitches. Before buying, I read reviews on the Internet for a long time, the choice fell on the Samsung Galaxy Ace. I really liked the design - thin, white, comfortable, with a beautiful pattern, similar to an iPhone. Wi-Fi catches very well (even in the elevator), the screen is not scratched and the pattern is not erased, although I carry it without a case in my bag or pocket. The battery is good - the charge holds almost two days. Beautiful large and bright screen, downloaded live wallpapers - they look so cool! Lots of free programs and games. The speakers are also good, the sound is loud. It's a pity that the headphones need to be purchased separately. Personally, I do not require too much from the phone - calls, the Internet, Skype, sometimes games, music, watch a TV series. read a book, in general, just for me! The size is optimal for the hand - neither big nor small. It does not interfere in your pocket and is not ashamed to get it out of your bag). In general, an excellent inexpensive phone with a memorable design, does not get dirty, does not scratch, fits comfortably in the hand. Perfect for a girl with her own style!

Pros:

Design, camera, Wi-Fi.

Minuses:

A little thoughtful.

General impression:

Bought a few months ago on the advice of a friend. A very feminine phone with a nice design, comfortable - just under my arm, a very good (even excellent) camera - ideally shoots books and documents in text mode. There is just a huge amount in the Market free apps. Large, comfortable and bright screen. WiFi =). The speaker is loud, you can hear it very well - the previous phone was very quiet). I really like to write SMS using Swipe. Now about the shortcomings ... The phone was defective - it often lost contact with the mobile network. Passed under warranty, it was reflashed. The third day is fine. There were no headphones in the kit, though many others fit (the headset did not fit from my old Nokia) There was no driver disk, but removable drive Connected fine and works. Sometimes freezes for a few seconds (thinks). The battery is weak ((, you often have to recharge it. When buying, it’s better to immediately paste the film (I immediately pasted it) - a huge screen, it’s sure to be scratched somewhere! Despite all the minuses, I really like the phone, I recommend it to everyone!

Pros:

Beautiful, fast, everything is there

Minuses:

Little memory, no headphones

General impression:

Pros. Android - everything that I need is available, the screen resolution is enough for me, touch control is convenient in principle, you can get used to the camera button. The speed of work is quite fast, an excellent program for synchronizing My phone explorer is fast, free, everything perfectly synchronizes the computer and smartphone! Angry Birds Star Wars, although it slows down a bit, it searches and determines everything with a bang. The battery is normal, without the Internet it lasts for three to four days. The screen is in order, the sensors do not blunt, no need to glue the film, as it is not scratched. The case is good - it lies tightly in the hand, does not slip, does not get dirty, dirt does not climb into all the cracks, it looks like an iPhone =), the sd-card is inserted from the side, and not inside. The speakers are great - the sounds are loud. True, I was a little upset that there were no headphones in the kit, I had to go to the store again. Little RAM - only 250 MB. ((. There is such a cool thing - SWYPE! Many people write that they often lose connection, I don’t know, I’m fine with it. When I download applications from the market, for some reason they go to memory, and not to a USB flash drive and how I have no idea how to install =((! The kit includes two covers, a charger and a USB flash drive with an adapter. While the phone suits me, it’s inexpensive, maybe I’ll change it later if I have money).
