It is a scaled down Galaxy S with 3.2mp cam and slightly slower processor. Actually the 1 ghz processor of galaxy S is too fast and smooth. One should not EVER use galaxy S after buying galaxy3 since it will show u the cons of your handset. This is like driving a Porsche boxster(cheapest porsche available) and then trying out the Carrera GT(the most awesome car on the planet).
Everything is good and fast but music player is not as good as desired. WORST of all, the earphones supplied are the same ones for a 2000 rs samsung phone and galaxy 3, maybe even same in galaxy S(i don't know). Hey at least give us better earphones for such phones! And the music player is too yucky and boring. Maybe my fault, since for so long I used all sony products(walkmans, discmans, mp3 players, W series phones all with sony earphones.). Still a good music lover will soon find out that these samsung earphones are noisy and loud, without deep bass and badly designed. No extra cups are supplied for different ear sizes. And the design of cups and the earphone tube is such that u have to hang these on the outside of the ear hole rather than stuffing it in. So they move and come out easily when u are in motion. I tried putting sony earphones in its 3.5 mm jack, still did not get excellent sound quality. in fact my brother's Nokia C5 has got incredible sound quality, even better than old sony ericsson W series phones. That too with those crappy samsung earphones. With sony earphones, the C5 gave lovely music, crisp and deep.
Also, to delete sms, u have to touch 3 to 4 times till the sms is deleted finally. I think android 2.5 or 2.6 ones will be perfection in the coming future.
Camera is OK, autofocus does its job, but its 3.2 mp lens is not comparable to nokia's 3.2 mp carl zeiss
lens.
There are millions of applications on the market. First thing I did was start wi fi and go to market from phone and downloaded around 25 apps. I think androids will definitely defeat iphone in applications.
I am in Dhanbad(out of bad luck, not choice) in jharkhand, and I could never get the gps to show My location on the dhanbad map or anywhere in the world for that matter. Also it does not work in offline mode which u can do with ease in Nokia Ovi phones with gps. But that problem is solved by google in latest gps platform in android 2.2. If only I find the way to upgrade my phone to 2.2 version.
Without flash, I dont even have a torch in my phone.
Battery: It is 1500 mah, but touch screen phones use up lot of battery even in flight mode. So with moderate use it will last at most 2 to3 days. And it takes more than 2 hours to charge!(same with galaxy S, in case u were wondering). To compare, the nokia C5 goes till a week easily with medium use.
Still best touch screen phone that too with android!
In fact nowadays the mobile phones are not that durable I asked so to all company guys, Even companies expect consumers to change handsets in 1.5 to 2 years. So whats the point in buying a costly Rs 20000+ phone which wont last more than 2 years?
I had my share of costly phones(N70, N72, N95, SE K800, W900, HTC TOUCH 2 etc) and to see all of them turn to junk even with utmost care, made me decide to never buy a phone worth more than Rs 15000 EVER.
So just buy this mini Galaxy S phone and be happy that you got a 30000 worth phone for 11000, what a bargain!
NOTE: If you want an android phone, don't even look at LG or micromax, they suck terribly!
