Great Phone...Fast and sweet

 

Samsung Galaxy S Advance, i've had it for a couple of days and must say, this is a quick phone, no lag, loads all apps quickly and rendering is overall great, Android is very easy and intuitive, in my case i was looking for a 4" screen as this is...

Good cell

 

Good piece, feels well in hand and has overall good performance. Good screen and fast response.

Consumer review by:

Great phone.. and it's the 8gb version!

 

Despite what some people wrote, this is the 8gb version. You get 3.91gb of freely usable memory and 1.9gb system memory (i guess that's for apps) however, the rest of the 8gb is reserved for the operating system etc.

Luv it!

 

Just as described, the AMOLED screen is great, very vivid, and the blacks are really black. Phone responds quickly to commands and has no drawbacks. I do have a first generation Evo, but this phone is perfect for travelling!

Great Phone

 

The phone has clear screen...responds fast and sound quality is clear. So far no drop calls....signal strength is high. Its a great phone.

Consumer review by:

Excellent phone

 

Very light, easy to use. Screen is vivid, responsive and clear. Only missing thing is that it's not ICS. Overall worth the money paid.

Excellent Product!!

 

I just received the phone and is great, just like the other person who wrote his comment in the spec says that the phone has 8GB and the box also says it has 8GB of internal memory but it only has 4gb.
