Extremely poor, in practice

Posted: Sep 14, 2014, 4:45 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

PhoneArena's glowing first-impressions review misses all of the problems with this model (hardly "midrange", but a clearly low-end bargain Android device), which only show up after actually using the phone for a while.

In short, with a pathetic 256M RAM complement and only 512M internal storage, Samsung seriously skimped on the device and rendered it underpowered to the point of near-uselessness. Installing more than one or two apps was a recipe for near-unusability, or even boot hangs/loops that if you were lucky would clear in the space of a half hour or so.

(If you were not so lucky... well, I had to factory-reset my device at least 3 times over the course of its life.) I eventually chose to root it and install a decent recovery only BECAUSE of the problems encountered when running unrooted stock Android 2.2. Rooting and some tuning helped with the stability problems, but they couldn't overcome the device's crippling lack of memory.)

Not a good phone at all.

This phone lacks in processing power, RAM,and battery life. It lags 90% of the time when doing tasks as simple as typing a text. applications almost always quit due to a lack of RAM, and the battery rarely lasts over 6 hours. However, at least the keyboard is good. It is one of the best keyboards on the market. But if you are looking for a smartphone, make this your last option.

A good phone

I have had the phone for almost a year now. It is a good phone that has a solid build. The call quality was no worse than any other phone that i have had. The built-in browser is not the best. But if you use another browser (such as Opera Mini) then it works just fine. The main camera takes great pictures but I haven't been able to use the front facing camera for video chat yet. The slide out keyboard was probably one of the best on a smart phone so far. Overall the Samsung Transform is a good choice for a mid-range Android smartphone. If you don't mind paying $10 extra bucks for 4g then I would recommend the HTC evo shift 4g.
