Review Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Smartphone

Speedy, white, comes with LTE. The Samsung Galaxy Express seems to be made to stir up other mid-range smartphones with its ultrafast 4G internet connection, great battery life and the Samsung Galaxy S3?s fancy chassis. We venture to have a closer look....

Great battery life ; Enough performance for almost all tasks ; More than decent speech quality ; High-contrast display ; Superb viewing angles ; Numerous pre-installed apps

Bloatware ; Chassis made of plastics ; Just one color available

How many high-end features Samsung manages to incorporate in such a decently priced mid-range phone

Samsung Galaxy Express review: Jelly Bean Express

The Samsung Galaxy Express represents an interesting mix of features. The latest Jelly Bean flavor, the impressively fast processor, the LTE connectivity, the spectacular 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen, and the Galaxy S III looks are all...

Quad-band GSM, 3G, and LTE support ; 21.1 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA support ; 4.5" 16M-color Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen of WVGA (480 x 800 pixel) resolution ; Android OS 4.1.2 Jelly Bean with Nature UX ; 1.2 GHz dual-core Qualcomm...

No dedicated camera key ; Preinstalled video player lacks DivX video support ; Poor low-light camera performance ; WVGA resolution wears thin on the 4.5" screen

Throughout our examination of the I8730 Galaxy Express, we've touched again and again on the dual-core processor under the hood. We've seen quite a lot of Samsung devices with the latest of Android on comparable screen sizes, but it's really the Krait...

Samsung Galaxy Express (AT&T)

Though the Samsung Galaxy Express looks uncannily like a junior-size GS3 , the handset is actually a midlevel phone with a bargain price.

The Samsung Galaxy Express runs on 4G LTE, has good call quality, and a decent 5-megapixel camera.

The Galaxy Express is preloaded with too much bloatware and its screen has a bluish hue at certain angles.

With its reasonable $100 price tag, AT&T's Galaxy Express' solid performance and respectable specs are a good deal -- but pass it up if you want a more powerful camera.

Looks good but not really

I thought I would save money and do without a few features by compromising for the Express instead buying the S3. Now with the Express I've been in the store several times trouble shooting the wifi, the ringtone, and many other problems. I hate to say...

So much for upgradable to Jellybean

I chose this particular phone for my upgrade because it is supposed to be upgradable to Android 4.1 JellyBean. I've had Jelly Bean on my tablet forever and consider Google Now essential to a new phone.

Samsung Galaxy Express (TM) - Titan Gray

I really like the phone. It is exactly what I wanted but the only thing that bothers me is that I cant find a cute case for it. The choices are minimum :(. But other than that I really like my phone. Very happy!.

This IS the (an)droid you're looking for!

Got this phone as an upgrade from my flip-phone, and am very pleased with it. My daughter got one as an upgrade too from her basic, instant-messaging phone, and she loves it! (Thanks for the great deal!) I found it very easy to figure out and use, and...

Buy another phone !

I do not like the ordeal I have had to go through with this phone. The phone will not lock in the vibration mode. The slight touch of the left sided volume key, will take it out of this action and go to sound or mute. In either case , this is NOT what...
