I am very fond of gadgets and automobiles. I have changed nearly 3 mobiles in one year. I had the samsung star for almost 8 months! I am a complete user.ie, I use all the features of the mobile. but for some reasons, I think tat the samsung star is not tat good a product. in the 8 months of usage, I used the phone as in stock for nearly 6 months. then, I started to flash it with different firmwares.
I can say only one thing. the samsung star is the best mobile tat simple phone users who need just a touch phone can buy! otherwise, if u download games or use the phone to its full capability, this is not the phone to go for! in this phone, u can’t download good quality games as it doesn’t support much graphics! the touch response though resistive, is not so good. the processing speed is slow, especially in the gallery. there’s a lot of lag during scrolling when u have a big list. and when u put in a fully loaded 8gig micro SD in it, it becomes too slow!
But the pros of the phones attract most of the buyers. the display is gr8 for such a budget touch phone! the phone can run for 2 days after a full charge!(well, in my case, it drains at the end of one day itself!).
and if u use the phone only for calling and txting, the battery may last even for as long as 4-7days which is gr8 keeping in mind the fact that this is a touch phone! the sound quality is gr8 too!
I would wrap up my review saying only one thing. if ur a simple phone user, then the samsung star is for u! if not, u should have a look at nokia(5233, 5230(i hav this currently) or samsung’s galaxy fit or pop!
I’ve uploaded some pics of my samsung star S5233! the pics were taken with my kodak C140! pls read my review on the kodak C140 here-
