User Reviews
I can just describe how good this phone is in one word:Amazing. Gingerbread runs fast,no problems done. Sure the battery life sucks,but i can use a samsung t249 charger. That charger can get this phone to 100% in a hour! The speed is just great,and no problems with mine,except for one in the system. After having it for 3 years,the keyboard goes away,so i cant type anymore. But the phone just is Samsungs greatest phone on T-mobile!
- Internet.
- 8 megapixel camara.
- Video power.
- And everything else except the battery.
- Battery life. Stock charger SUCKS!
Battery Life is Terrible: I purchased this phone to upgrade from my old LG and at first it worked pretty well but soon the battery began draining quickly. I use a few apps that run in the background which quickly run the battery life down in this phone. So I bought a backup battery that I try to keep charged when the one in the phone dies. Then the batteries would constantly overheat and then restart over, and over, and over. Then I bought a portable charger, which only gives me a small boost in emergency situations and you have to keep that charged too. If I don't charge my phone at night and go to work, it will be dead by lunchtime.
Ram is not adequate: Simply waking my phone from sleep to enter the passcode is a challenge. The screen is halfway there, waiting for the keyboard to appear, but if I press the screen too quickly it will choose the emergency dial. It is so frustrating. Even if I close all running apps, I still have this problem with lagging screen and keyboard. Apps freeze, the phone randomly shuts down, and is even unresponsive at times. The keyboard freezes in the wrong direction if screen rotation is activated so I always turn it off. Frustrating!
Sound quality: Decent, but speaker is in the back so I often have to turn the phone around to get a better sound.
Texting: This can be extremely frustrating because the screen/keyboard lags and you have to wait to text, but then it enters craziness and you have to start over, and hurry up and wait again.
I am constantly loaded with extra batteries, wall chargers, car chargers, portable chargers, looking for an outlet, I'm done. I just bought the HTC 816 so hopefully I'll have better luck with that one.
- Good quality pics
- Call quality
- Internal memory
- Screen is scratch resistant
- Very sloooooow
- Keyboard slow to appear and disappear
- Battery overheats and drains within minutes as above poster stated.
- Slow to switch between messaging/phone calls/apps
I purchased this phone new for $300.00. it was loaded with ICS. This phone is an absolute steal at this price point. This is a quality, high performance phone by anyone's standards. I'm extremely pleased. In my opinion ....the best "bang for the buck" in smart phones.
