Samsung Galaxy Pocket S5300 review: Happy meal

Samsung are back to basics and they say there's always room for one more in the low end. Especially one that doesn't take too much space. The Galaxy Pocket makes the Galaxy Mini look like it's on steroids and the Y series like a bunch of semi pros...

  • v2.3 (Gingerbread
  • 832 Mhz processor
  • 2.8- inches
  • TFT capacitive touch screen
  • 2 Megapixels camera
  • No Flash
  • 3GB internal memory
  • MicroSD card slot
  • expandable up to 32GB
  • Standard Li-Ion
  • 1200 mAh battery
  • 3.5 mm audio jack
  • Standard 2.0 USB port
  • Stereo FM Radio with RDS
  • WiFi,...
Cons:
  • It has a small display
  • topped up with a poor resolution
  • making the display crude and harsh on your eyes
  • The device has only 2 mp camera
  • that too with no flash or auto focus

Mr. Mo reviews the Samsung Galaxy Pocket

The Samsung GT-S5300 Galaxy Pocket is a diminutive touchscreen device targeted at the low end market. There is not much to be expected in terms of hardware at this price point, but then all the software goodies of Android are in there.

This is my first smartphone so I wasn't sure what to expect and also didn't want to spend a lot of money in something I wouldn't use a lot as I hardly make lengthy phone calls or forever check Facebook etc when out and about.
Pros:
  • value for money
  • reliable brand
Cons:
  • no usb cable included
