Currently, the mobile device market offers a huge choice, and there are often difficulties. Flagship phones are just great, but there are people in the world who can't afford them at all. Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Win is designed for such users. It was announced in the spring of 2013, immediately after the Galaxy S4, to which it is very similar in appearance, size and design. From a distance of several meters, not everyone can distinguish them. Of course, the filling of the device is inferior to the flagship, and there are no funny excesses, for example, a barometer or a thermometer. But its cost is noticeably lower.
Briefly about the device
So, Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which are already appearing, is a classic glossy device from this series. It is half the price of the flagship, equipped with quite decent hardware, and its battery is quite capacious. The screen resolution is quite good, color display is excellent. But the camera in the Samsung GalaxyWin can be disappointing.
This phone model may be gray or white. The device looks very stylish and attractive. The case is collapsible. You can easily remove the back cover, it is very thin. The battery is removed. All connectors and buttons are standard. The buttons on the front panel are touch-sensitive, and one is mechanical, but the first ones are almost invisible without backlight. This is easy to fix by setting them to glow for as long as the screen is active. The Samsung Galaxy Win phone weighs only 144 grams, and its official dimensions are 70.7133.39.65 millimeters. The camera protrudes a little, but not too much. There is no LED for missed calls.
Insides
Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which have already appeared, is equipped with an average processor from Qualcomm today. The Snapdragon 200 MSM8625Q quad-core chipset with a frequency of 1.2 GHz each, together with the Adreno 203 video accelerator. RAM is also quite sufficient - one gigabyte. In real life, such hardware works quite normally, does not slow down, the performance is only pleasing. There are eight gigabytes of internal memory, of which five are available in most devices of this model for storing user files. Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which are quite eloquent, supports memory cards up to 32 gigabytes. In this model, you will not find a light sensor, as well as such pleasant frills as a thermometer and a barometer, but there is a compass, an accelerometer, and a sensorapproximations.
Communication
The specification indicates the speed of mobile 3G Internet 7.2 megabits per second for reception and 5.76 for transmission. This is considered not too high, but most operators do not support high speeds, so it will be quite enough for use. 3G is available only for the first SIM card and it cannot be programmatically redirected to the second, it is only necessary to physically swap them. This can be considered one of the shortcomings of the Samsung Galaxy Win i8552, reviews of which will show the rest of its characteristics. The device was equipped with single-band Wi-Fi with average sensitivity, that is, there is nothing to complain about in this case. There is also Bluetooth 3.0. The smartphone connects to the computer via USB only in MTP mode.
Screen
Theoretically, the Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which are mostly positive, has such a weak point as the screen. With a diagonal of as much as 4.7 inches, there is a very modest resolution of 800480 pixels. The specification says that the matrix is \u200b\u200bused by TFT. However, usually on such screens, color inversion is visible, and there are also not very good viewing angles. There are also quite good viewing angles, there is no fading of the picture on either side. The screen is juicy and very pleasant to look at. And the permission available here is quite enough. Of course, if the letters are very small, then their outlines seem slightly rough. However, most users do not feel particularly strong discomfort when usingapparatus. The brightness of the screen is such that it is comfortable to use in both dark and bright environments.
The five-point sensor is very decent, it responds just fine. It is possible that a special coating has been applied to the screen, as it is very slippery, and fingerprints are easily erased from it. The manufacturer indicated that the surface is made of plastic, but it is of such high quality that it can compete with glass, and there are almost no scratches on it.
Samsung Galaxy Win operating system
User reviews speak about the ease of use of this device, because it has Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, quite fresh for the fall of 2013, with the addition of traditional elements from Samsung. Installing applications is possible only in the main memory of the device, this cannot be done on a memory card. There is not a lot of pre-installed software, but there are a few applications that cannot be removed.
Battery
Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which may be interesting, is equipped with a 2000 mAh battery. According to the results of the work, he is at the S4 level, although at some points he even surpasses it.
Phone features
There are no problems with communication, good audibility and video in Skype works at the level. Since the phone is dual SIM, there are certain nuances of its operation, however, there is an active mode in the settings, that is, it is able to receive calls to both cards even during a conversation.
Photo and video camera
Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which generally speak of its high quality, is equipped with a 5 megapixel photo and video camera. It is worth noting that at this price, most users want to see something more substantial. The camera with autofocus does not shine with quality, even in very good weather and under ideal shooting conditions, the frames are “soapy”. And if you shoot in low light, then everything looks very sad. In macro mode, the quality is noticeably better, but this is provided that the smartphone focuses exactly on what interests you.
Video recording is carried out only at one resolution - 480720 and 30 frames per second. The resulting clips can be called not very high quality, while autofocus is completely absent.
There is also a VGA-resolution front camera, it's better not to say anything about its quality.
Navigation features
Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which are quite interesting, does not support GLONASS. He catches satellites with a fairly good speed.
Use as video and audio player
Don't use the pre-installed video player as it doesn't show everything you want to watch, sometimes there may be no sound and so on. You can install a good MX Player program, with which everything works just fine. You can even watch high-definition video with it, but at the given screen resolution, this simply does not make sense.
If you talkabout the capabilities of the audio player, the sound quality here is quite normal.
Working with the Internet and games
Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which are very numerous, displays the content of Internet pages quite well. If you do not use too small fonts, then it will be difficult to notice any problematic points. For reading Twitter and news, the device is quite satisfactory.
On the one hand, this device is fast enough to run almost all games normally. On the other hand, it is difficult to install some big game due to the fact that there is simply not enough space in memory for it. However, for most of the games that exist at the moment, there are enough resources.
Results
As a result of using the Samsung Galaxy Win as the main smartphone, we can conclude that it is very convenient with it, and its functionality does not raise questions. Of course, you may want a more powerful camera, as well as the ability to install software on a memory card, since the resource can be exhausted very quickly. Another point is the price, which may seem slightly overpriced with such a set of characteristics. However, it is important to note one thing: if you want to buy an A-brand with such a screen diagonal for ten thousand or less, it will be difficult, and perhaps impossible to find a suitable option.
Samsung Galaxy Win is aimed at users who are looking for a larger smartphone, but are not ready to buy Fly or similar, whilewilling to put up with a lower screen resolution and the main camera. This device is aimed at cautious buyers who are not ready to spend too much money, but at the same time who want to try out a large diagonal in action, and who also appreciate Samsung products. This model is not intended to turn the heads of millions, leaving its noticeable mark on the history of gadgets, but it will be able to participate with dignity in a segment where there are no first-tier devices. The ability to use two SIM cards at the same time is a huge advantage of this smartphone, as you will always be in touch with all your contacts.
