Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (T-Mobile)

The Samsung Galaxy Exhibit isn't all that exciting, but for the least expensive Android phone on T-Mobile, it's a pretty good value.

Good call quality. Decent camera. Inexpensive.

Average specs and performance. No LTE. Cramped keyboard.

Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (MetroPCS)

The Samsung Galaxy Exhibit is one of the first MetroPCS smartphones to run on T-Mobile's network, and is a decent choice if it's available in your area.

Works on T-Mobile's network. Good call quality. Wi-Fi calling. Inexpensive.

Extremely limited availability. No LTE. Average specs and performance. Cramped keyboard.

Samsung Exhibit 4G SGH-T759 (T-Mobile)

The Samsung Exhibit 4G is a svelte alternative to larger Android phones, yet it still has 4G and a high-resolution screen.

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) OS. True 4G data speeds. Fast CPU. Stunning battery life.

Screen is a little small for typing. Not a very good camera.

Multimedia, Camera, and Conclusions There's a standard-size 3.5mm headphone jack on top, plus a welcome, side-mounted microSD card slot. Samsung throws in a great set of wired stereo earbuds and a 4GB microSD card, and my 32GB SanDisk card also worked...

Samsung Exhibit 4G review

As the carriers dash to strengthen and expand their 4G networks, more high-quality 4G-capable phones are hitting the market. T-Mobile's Samsung Exhibit 4G is the sixth 4G phone for T-Mobile's HSPA+ network. Like the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G , the Exhibit...

The Samsung Exhibit 4G is a fast, comfortable Android 2.3 Gingerbread handset with two cameras and a 1GHz processor.

The Exhibit lacks a camera shutter button and the virtual keyboard will feel cramped for some. A lag in the camera software caused us to miss some good shots.

A great price makes the Samsung Exhibit 4G a compelling option for Android fans on the lookout for a deal, without sacrificing features.

"Not bad at all"

I found all the features I wanted to use without paying $400 for a phone. All the features work just fine. I am sure there are faster phones out there but for the price I am quite happy with my Exhibit. I can take pictures and movies and the quality is...

Not expensive, has all the features I need (phone, camera, internet, messaging, touch screen)

Smaller screen at 3.7"

Consumer review by: Blosef85 (cnet.com)

Slow, unresponsive, useless camera flash. Avoid.

I have had this phone since February 2013. To say the least, my opinion of Samsung has changed drastically for the worse as a result of this device. Don't expect this thing to hold up to average wear and tear. Its performance was OK at first, but after...

Inexpensive

Lack of durability Extremely slow Unresponsive Below average camera with a useless flash

Not a good buy. Kicks you out frequently

Save yourself some time and trouble - get a better phone.

Price, but that's debatable. No barbain.

Mail is clunky - not a good phone for emergency use. Freezes, scroll doesn't work well at all l- either too fast, or will fail to go to top of scroll bar.

"Worst phone ever!"

I've been with T-mobile for many years and as soon as this contract is up I will not be with them anymore. Whoever gave this phone a good review was either on drugs or was paid to do so. Sure, the phone worked awesome for the first week or so, then...

My contract is up in 3 months, I can get a new phone that hopefully does have some pros to write about

Freezes up several times a day, apps suddenly close for no reason, calls disconnect for no reason, and the not so "friendly" t-mobile support is a joke.
