Wonderful compared to it's price

Islammashaly has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

I've been using this phone for over 2 months and it's working well. Although it's got a high speed processor it's RAM isn't that good (I have to restart the phone it a couple of times per day to restart it's ram). The video quality is super cool but somehow in the still camera shoots i've seen better 5MP cameras.
However I recommend this phone for people with heavy daily usage of smart phones and for people who don't want to pay much and enjoy a great deal of features.

Total garbage

stilllooking has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

The most expensive and easily the worst phone I have ever had. Have had to have it exchanged three times in four months because it keeps failing. Overly sensitive when you don't want it to be - no sensitivity when you want to actually use it. Piss poor functionality - too complicated, difficult, functions too hidden. Does things you will never need but can't do basic obvious things - like delete draft messages! Microphone keeps failing, rubbish reception, rubbish battery power, rubbish screen time. Hate, hate, hate it. Total dross. People just get seduced by looks over function.

I own and love this phone!! I highly recommend purchasing the Samsung Galaxy W!

kendrac has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I should start by stating that this is my first product review ever but I am doing this because I am that thrilled with the Samsung Galaxy W. My concern is that the phone does not stand out visually when placed next to all of the other aesthetically pleasing androids; therefore I can see it being scanned over quickly and not being selected, which is unfortunate because it is truly a fantastic phone.

I purchased this phone as a replacement for the Galaxy Europa and before that I owned a blackberry curve. So far I am thrilled with this phone, it's fantastic for customizing, texting, phone calls, social networking, emailing, browsing and has a ton of fantastic applications as well as widgets. I read the reviews about it being tacky and cheap, however I find it to be absolutely fine and also quite comfortable to handle. My friend has owned the Samsung Galaxy S for a couple of years, his phone has a thin backing as well and it has not been an issue for him; even after it has been dropped multiple times.

My last android was gorgeous and slick in appearance but had a tiny screen, I could barely use the keyboard,I would have to unlock the screen during a phone call and it took a long time to respond to the most basic commands or would freeze completely and shut down; therefore I would take a plain looking phone that is amazing over one that is simply attractive.

I also have to say that as far as the camera goes, it's fine and plus who cares when most people own cameras...

I also have to say that as far as the camera goes, it's fine and plus who cares when most people own cameras anyways. I myself own a DSLR and a canon power shot and rarely ever use camera phones. I am also not sure what people are talking about with the poor sound quality during calls. I have made a good amount of phone calls and have not had any issues with it at all.

I am so happy to have a phone that works as well as it does and that I did not have to pay a small fortune. I highly recommend purchasing this Samsung Galaxy W!!

Battery 8/10 I find that it has the same battery life that any other smartphone does, it depends on your use and if you keep the wifi running.

The SII in a realistic size!! Galaxy W fills the gap!

Vyker has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

The Galaxy W I8150 is the perfect phone for users that are unsettled by the larger brother, the Galaxy S II.
When I researched a new Android phone to replace my old one, I had looked at a whole range of phones from the LG Optimus to the HTC Desire S, and even within the Samsung range itself.
The W has a 3.7" screen, which is the perfect sized screen for users that just want a good fast phone, I'm not keen on carrying a large phone like the SII, and the compromise for giving up an SII for a W are not difficult.
One core CPU clocked at 1.4ghz is more than enough for anything. It's done everything I want flawlessly. The CPU allows for really clean smooth homescreen switching, even with loads of widgets and a Live Wallpaper.

The phone sits in the mid-upper range of the Galaxy line-up. But in reality, what it lacks to be classed as a premium phone really isn't enough to ignore this phone and pay double for a step up.

You're basically getting a top end phone for half the price - insofar as using a phone for a phone, calling and texting. At half the price of an SII, its a no brainer.

If you're struggling to choose between this phone and any of the following phones, then struggle no more! The Galaxy W is the phone for you.
Phones I looked at before buying the W:
HTC Desire S
HTC Desire
LG Optimus 2x
Samsung Galaxy SII
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Samsung Galaxy S
Nexus One
