Conclusion
|
The Galaxy Y could find vocation as an emergency replacement for when your mode advanced smartphone breaks or gets lost or stolen. Who knows, with a better screen we might have been able to recommend it. |
It would be cruel and unusual to compare this phone to the Galaxy S3, HTC One X or iPhone. The Galaxy Mini 2 is an inexpensive, good-looking device that will be a good buy for anyone who wants a smartphone that's easy-to-use and that lasts past lunchtime. The trade-off, however, is a mediocre screen and a camera that makes you wonder what decade it is. |
The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 may not be a surprising or innovative phone but it does its job well. In fact, it's one of the best entry-level smartphones out there. Samsung has taken good ideas from its various product ranges to build an improved budget smartphone (apart from the camera) that takes the original Ace forwards. This updated model will no doubt please users looking for an inexpensive smartphone with good performances and a great battery life. |
