Samsung Galaxy Y review

'Y' stands for 'Young' in Samsung's Galaxy-branded mobile universe and this diddy handset is clearly designed to fit into tiny hands and pockets. You don't need a very big wallet to own the Samsung Galaxy Y. It sits firmly at the budget end of the Android smart phone spectrum -- it's free for around £10 a month on a two-year contract, from £60 on pay as you go or £120 SIM-free. Are you young and easily impressed? Yes? Good, you'll need to be. The Galaxy Y is so wee that only the tiniest of fingers will be happy poking its 3-inch, low-res display. Likewise, the diminutive chip means you'll need the imagination of a tech ingénue encountering the exciting world of smart phones for the first time to be wowed by all it has to offer. The Samsung Galaxy Y looks like the kid brother of the Galaxy S2. For kids who currently own a feature phone, the Galaxy Y would make a nice stepping stone into the brave new world of apps and the mobile web. But Android devices in this budget price bracket are generally getting more powerful and capable -- so make sure you check out the reasonably priced competition because your money may well go further elsewhere.

Samsung Galaxy Y review

We've now updated our review to reflect our findings with a fully working version of the Samsung Galaxy Y - including a price drop to under £90.Samsung wants to cater for a range of users, not just those wanting the biggest, fastest and most media hungry phones and the Samsung Galaxy Y looks to bring functionality to the low-end range.The 'Y' stands for 'Young', which clearly signals the market this phone is targeted at. The Galaxy Y sells itself as a budget Android device which allows you to keep updated on the go, from poking your friends to tweeting what you had for lunch.The Samsung Galaxy Y replaces the Galaxy Mini at the bottom of the Galaxy range and this puts it head to head with the Orange San Francisco 2, HTC Wildfire S and Alcatel One Touch 990.The Galaxy Y is low on specs, but this means it is also low in price – available for free on contracts starting from just £9.99 per month, or £90 on PAYG, making it very competitive. A SIM-free option will set you back around £115.The Galaxy Y is a dinky device measuring 104 x 58 x 11.5mm and housing a 3-inch QVGA (240x320) TFT touchscreen.

Samsung Galaxy Y Review

Phones these days have all kinds of bells and whistles on offer, but if what you really want is simply a handset that you can make calls on and send texts with, along with the added bonus of some apps and access to the internet, then the Samsung Galaxy Y could be the phone for you. There is a 3.5mm audio jack along with a USB charger port on the top of the handset, while the volume rocker sits on the left and the power button on the right side. On the back of the device (which is textured plastic with a metallic-effect finish) you'll see a snapper. The phone will fit nicely in most pockets, being 11.5mm thick and weighing only 97g. But for the less careful among you, the plastic lightweight body may not stand up to being dropped on the ground, for instance. The Galaxy Y looks like a Samsung device – its curves, flush buttons, light body and easy-to-negotiate menu make this obvious. It has a 3in screen, which has onscreen back and menu buttons as well as a physical Home key at the bottom middle of the device. The operating system on offer here is Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which is really easy to find your way around – Back and Home speak for themselves, and the onscreen menu key shows what choices you have in any screen or app.

Samsung Galaxy Y review

O2 sent us a test version to review and the firmware is not final. We'll update this review - with a score and more detailed points - when we get the final version in very shortly, as per our reviews guarantee.Budget Android smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy Y are an attractive proposition on paper. Who wouldn't want to spend less than £100 for a smashing PAYG Android mobile phone?The competition is rife at this end of the market. HTC is in there with its Wildfire S and Samsung has a couple of fingers in the pie already with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Europa and Samsung Galaxy Mini. The one to beat is still Orange's San Francisco though. So, how does the Galaxy Y stack up?O2, whose version has a slightly tweaked chassis design, gave us an ex-test unit for a detailed look. Selling at £89.99 on O2 PAYG, we aren't sure the Samsung Galaxy Y is a bargain.The first thing you notice is that it has a tiny screen. Just three inches across diagonal corners. And it has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. That's just too low for a serious smartphone. Text looks a bit fuzzy, there's not enough real estate for serious web browsing or video viewing. It feels under specified.

Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 review: Everyone's invited

The Samsung Galaxy Y is a smartphone approved for all audiences. Perhaps in hindsight, our Galaxy Note review should've been rated PG. But well yeah, we're always wiser in hindsight. Anyway, you don't just wake up one morning wanting a superphone like the Note. You need a place to start. The Samsung Galaxy Y is one little step above dumbphones. It won't be long before you know how big this step really was. Android is friendly, especially in a package like the Galaxy Y, and highly addictive. And there's plenty to explore. The Samsung Galaxy Y is most likely someone's first smartphone. It comes on the cheap so you don't have to ask yourself if you really need all the extra features. Soon enough, you'll be wondering how you could live without them. And no, the Galaxy Y isn't full of the latest tech. It keeps things neat and simple at a very reasonable price. There's a good package of preinstalled apps and a full connectivity set. The reasonably fast processor and the very recent Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread are a bit of surprise. This is a basic smartphone but one that looks up-to-date. The Galaxy Y won't win any awards for innovation and performance but on the bright side, it does offer the full smartphone experience within budget.

Samsung Galaxy Y Review

We’ll skip past the “Samsung, why?” jokes about the new entriest level Android handset from the Koreans, the Samsung Galaxy Y, since entry level doesn’t necessarily mean a subpar device, and such devices often sell by the boatload. The Y stands for “young”, and means an affordable handset for teens or emerging markets in the sub-$180 price bracket. Some of the Galaxy Y’s specs are marginally better than the Galaxy Mini, for example, like a slightly faster 832MHz processor and less weight, but the camera is 2MP vs 3MP in the Mini. The biggest improvement actually seems to be the Android OS version – we are running Gingerbread on the Galaxy Y. We also have a design that is not your typical cheap black plastic handset, but is this an event enough to earn big sales in the low-end Android range, considering it's always crowded down there? Read on the review to find out...The outer appearance of the Samsung Galaxy Y stand out with a silvery back cover and chrome-like rim around the screen half – only the front is black. Alright, one for the design team here, since it found a cheap way to break away from the mould.

Samsung Galaxy Y

Are you young and short on cash, but rich in longing for a Samsung Galaxy smart phone? If so, the Samsung Galaxy Y could be just the ticket. It cuts down on some higher-end specs so that it can come at a lower price. The exact pricing and availability haven't been confirmed yet, but the Y will sit at the bottom end of the Galaxy range, so we expect it to be free on a £10-per-month contract.The Galaxy Y is instantly recognisable as part of Samsung's Galaxy range. Quite apart from the Samsung branding, it looks rather like a short, stumpy Galaxy S2. Black and grey tones are splashed all over, with a subtle chrome effect on the edge of the handset. The Y is all very 'Samsung', which is either good or bad news, depending on your taste and whether or not you like the other Galaxy phones. It's certainly not an ugly phone, and we reckon it has a smidgen more class than HTC's Wildfire S, which is arguably the Y's closest competitor. The camera has a fairly lowly 2-megapixel resolution. The phone is only 104mm long and weighs 98g, so it's certainly small enough to fit into even the tiniest of hands, and will slide into those skinny jeans without too much trouble.

Samsung Galaxy Y

Samsung keeps churning out smartphones as if there's no tomorrow, stuffing the channels with sometimes marginally different handsets six months after it introduced the previous crop.The Samsung Galaxy Y is not an exception to this strategy – about half a year since the company launched something like the Samsung Galaxy Mini, for instance, it announced the Galaxy Y, which, according to the new naming scheme, should be an affordable handset for teens or emerging markets.Some of its specs are marginally better than the Galaxy Mini, like a slightly faster processor and less weight, but the camera is 2MP, for example, against the Galaxy Mini's 3MP, while the screen resolution is the same (QVGA). The biggest improvement seems to be the Android OS version – we are running Gingerbread on the Galaxy Y, but this is not a huge advantage, as software can always be updated.So does Samsung's fresh naming scheme an event enough to merit a new, largely unchanged, low-end Android entry from the manufacturer six months later, considering it's getting somewhat crowded down there? Read on the preview of our non-final unit to find out...

Samsung S5360 Galaxy Y preview: First look

Smartphones at parent-friendly prices mean that a kid's first phone can be a smartphone, just like dad's. The Samsung S5360 Galaxy Y is part of Samsung's youth-oriented lineup and promises the Android experience at a bargain. The Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 was just announced this week and it will be some time before it gets the market. However, we have a pre-production unit in our hands so we decided we do a quick preview just to get you started. So without further ado here's the overview of the key features. The Galaxy Y is probably the first step on a journey that may well end at the latest generation of Galaxy S available. It packs enough to provide the full smartphone experience but was put together with a low budget in mind. The full-blown TouchWiz 3.0 has the software side of things well covered. Take out your rulers, we're going to measure up the Samsung S5360 Galaxy Y. What follows is a brief stop at software. The Galaxy Fit S5670 is compact and simple – a smartphone that novice users will be happy to explore. At 102.9 x 57.9 x 12.2 mm, the handset weighs 96.8 grams: easy to handle and with a reasonably solid feel.
