Samsung Galaxy W i8150

If you haven't got the dough for Samsung's Galaxy S2, then the more affordable Galaxy W is definitely wroth a look.

Great screen, Fast performance, Good camera, Affordable price tag

TouchWiz UI looks a bit flat, Build quality could be better

Samsung Galaxy W Review

The Samsung Galaxy Wonder very much surprised me when I began using it; for my conclusion I am going to use the quotation I used to describe it to my brother: “it's like the Galaxy Note is the powerful dad, the S2 is the athletic son and the Wonder is...

Samsung Exhibit II 4G review: Second time around

The Samsung Exhibit II 4G is aimed primarily at commitment-challenged consumers. Being one of the quickest product sequels we've seen in a while, the device is marketed mostly as a Pay as you go phone, which offers you the full Android functionality at...

Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G support ; 14.4 Mbps HSDPA; 5.76 Mbps HSUPA ; 1GHz Snapdragon CPU; Adreno 205 GPU; Qualcomm MSM 8255 chipset ; 512MB RAM; 1GB ROM; microSD card support (up to 32GB) ; 3.7” LCD display with WVGA (800 x 480 pixels)...

Design is a bit dull ; 3.2MP camera with lowly VGA video recording; no dedicated key ; All plastic construction ; High amount of preloaded apps from T-Mobile ; No memory card enclosed

Samsung Exhibit II 4G (T-Mobile)

The Samsung Exhibit II 4G gives T-Mobile customers a budget Android cell phone with both contract and prepaid options.

Good balance of features and speed for the price. Wi-Fi calling works well.

Poor camera. No voice dialing over Bluetooth.

Multimedia, Camera, and Conclusions The top edge holds a standard-size 3.5mm headphone jack. My 32GB SanDisk microSD card worked fine in the memory slot, which Samsung located underneath the stiff battery cover. There's also 1.02GB of free internal...

Samsung Exhibit II 4G Review: Solid 4G Phone for Value-Minded Buyers

How often do you use your phone to call people? Odds are, you want a smartphone for all the "smart" things it does with the mobile Internet connection, not for the "phone" itself. That's the idea behind the Samsung Exhibit II 4G ($200 contract-free;...

Good selection of preinstalled apps ; Inexpensive ; Fast 4G connection

Not enough RAM, can be sluggish ; AMOLED display has poor viewing angles ; Short battery life

The Exhibit II 4G offers great value for a cheap 4G phone, but don't buy it expecting the same performance as you'd get on a high-end smartphone.

Samsung Exhibit II 4G - marine blue (T-Mobile) review

T-Mobile has taken an interesting turn with the Samsung Exhibit II 4G, and I'll tell you why. The original Samsung Exhibit 4G (which was quite good) only received the breath of life in June, and it's already being subsumed by a sequel. Moreover, the...

The Samsung Exhibit II 4G has HSPA+ speeds, good call quality, and a lot more bells and whistles than you'd expect from an Android 2.3 Gingerbread phone at this price.

A cheaper-looking design keeps the Exhibit II from being a lustworthy handset, and photos lack a little brightness.

A surprisingly full feature set makes the Samsung Exhibit II 4G ideal for Android bargain-hunters; just don't expect the best of the best.

Samsung Exhibit II 4G Review

Wasting no time in bringing the Samsung Exhibit II 4G to market (its predecessor first busted onto the scene this past summer), it's being introduced this time around as both a prepaid and postpaid option. With the former, it's being blessed with an...

"Completely useless lump of fecal matter"

My wife and I changed over to t-Mobile a whileback from Verizon. I have no problem with t-Mobile except with the free phones upon which we were saddled. Since we have had the phones, we have experienced: random reboots that never stop, an operating...

I will be upgrading my phones soon.
