We thank ' ' for smoothly providing us with a testing sample. A look inside reveals: the Galaxy Beam is not quite up to date. Being powered by a dual-core processor with 1 GHz per CPU, 768 MB RAM, Android 2.3.6 and a 4.0" display at a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, it can't quite compete with top...
Pros:
  • innovative idea
  • with a decent implementation
  • two batteries + docking station
  • long battery life
  • sturdy workmanship

  • "old" Android 2.3
  • mid-range hardware

Samsung GALAXY Beam

The Samsung Galaxy Beam confirms once more that technology has advanced a lot. And that Samsung is as clever as ever. This projector they included on the smartphone is a neat idea. It certainly makes things fresh. If you plan on buying the device just for that, you're free to do so.

Samsung Beam is a great buy for professional who need to give presentations on the go. This phone doubles up as a projector, is easy to carry and does not require any power or display cables. It is an excellent replacement for pocket projectors too. And as of now, has no viable alternative.

Samsung Galaxy Beam review

Smartphones often like to focus on a single "killer feature". Some claim to have screens as good as cinemas, others are the perfect iPod music player alternative. The Samsung Galaxy Beam, however, is really a movie projector. It's on sale now for around £390.
Pros:
  • Built-in projector
  • spare battery supplied
Cons:
  • Projector's not great quality
  • old version of Android
  • pricey for a midrange handset

A perfectly good droid AND a pocket TV

If you're looking for a razor-thin phone, bleeding-edge speed and the greatest camera, look elsewhere. This is a chunky mid-range performer with all the usual Android features.. a nice enough touchscreen, great sat nav, an average camera.

One of the best phones I have ever owned!

I used to work in a mobile phone store so used to the latest tech, so my expectation of a phone that's not top of the range was quite low. But this thing kept up with my galaxy note 2 and my s3 for almost everything. RAM a little low but only because I use so many apps on it.

The issue is that most online trade-in programs will alter the payout amount after you have sent in your phone without giving you a choice. At www.smartphonecashin.com if you disagree with the payout amount, they will send you your phone back at no cost to you if prefer it.
