Samsung Galaxy Young Duos Review

Introduction:

The Samsung Galaxy Young Duos is at the bottom low end of the Android spectrum - an extremely affordable device that offers the functionality of a smartphone without such bells and whistles like a premium display, good camera and ultra-fast processor.

Now that we know all the things it’s not, it’s worth pointing out what the Galaxy Young comes with, and that’s a 3.3-inch screen, a 1GHz processor and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It’s also much more compact than the current crop of high-end devices, and comes with the benefit of dual SIM card support to lower your monthly bill.

But how does it stack up against the rampant competition on Android and other smartphones? We’re about to find out.

Design:

The Galaxy Young is a compact little youngster. A typical Samsung device, it’s of course made of plastic. It fits comfortably in the hand with its rounded edges and has a surprisingly solid build and feel given its light weight of just 4 ounces (112 g). It’s a chubby little thing measuring 0.49 inches (12.5mm) but while that would be a huge disadvantage for a larger device, for the compact Galaxy Young it’s not much of a drawback. The handset comes in three colors. There is a white, metallic silver, wine red and a deep blue version.
