Samsung Galaxy W I8150 preview: First look

 

With the latest of Android and TouchWiz, the Samsung Galaxy W I8150 takes a support-and-assist role to the company's flagship – the S II. The Galaxy W is powered by the same 1.4GHz processor we know from the Galaxy S Plus...

Bottom line is the Galaxy W is a Galaxy S Plus in disguise: it looks good but doesn’t come with any SuperAMOLED awesomeness. It’s a modern and understated Android to offer some high-end services on a midrange budget

Samsung Galaxy W I8150

 

Flying the Samsung-branded flag for the mid-range smartphone market is the Samsung Galaxy W, a handset also known as the Samsung GT-I8150.

Speedy processor ; Compact, rounded, comfortable design ; Impressive camera results with flash ; Implements Android 2.3 well ; Fast, fluid browser

Narrowed display ; Slow autofocus on 5MP camera ; Poor VGA forward-facing camera ; Flimsy plastic back panel ; Poor speaker and audio output

On the design front, the high, central positioning of the lens makes shooting content a tricky task when trying to avoid unwieldy fingertips sneaking into shots. Next Page: Media
