Samsung Galaxy S Advance

“The Galaxy S Advance must've cost Samsung nothing to build. It's a mix and match of designs and features. In fact, it's the same package as the latest projector-phone by Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy S Advance is for customers who wouldn't care to check what the competition has to offer. Good looking and reasonably powered, the Samsung Galaxy S Advance is for people who don't actually care about how many cores and which version of Android there is inside.”

“Overall, the Galaxy S Advance is a good, all round package. It's got decent performance thanks to its dual core processor, the screen is excellent and the camera isn’t half bad either. Why the middling score then? The problem is that Samsung's pricing seems a bit off as you can find the company's own Galaxy SII on contract for a similar price, while the likes of the speedier HTC Sensation XE is cheaper when bough SIM free. As such, the Galaxy S Advance falls between two stools, at least until Samsung lowers the phone's price a bit.”

“Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S Advance has absolutely no major drawbacks, which makes it a splendid mid-range Android device. We are more than content with its design, the hardware has no troubles handling every day tasks with ease, and the in-call audio quality is absolutely ear-pleasing. Add the smartphone's well-justified price tag to the equation and you get a clear winner in this category. It may be a bit disappointing to see that the aging Android 2.3 Gingerbread comes pre-loaded, but having the handset's capable hardware in mind, we really hope that an update to Ice Cream Sandwich will come sooner or later.”

“The Samsung Galaxy S Advance is a better option in this price range. The 5 megapixels camera with LED flash, 1 GHz dual core processor and 768 MB RAM along with all latest features in-built gives edge to this phone in these segments. The 4 inch screen size and super AMOLED display is impressive too. But this phone lacks with Android latest 4.0 ICS version and the plastic back cover is not that tough.”
