Hey guys, after almost a year, I have returned to blog! This time, I will promise to blog more often! So anyways, this is my review of the Samsung Galaxy Q. I have owned this phone for just over 2 weeks and this is a review of my experience. The Samsung Galaxy Q was released in August 2011, this might not be the newest phone in the market, but it is a pretty good phone. The Galaxy Q has a 3.2" screen, which is just a little smaller than the iPhone 4/4S. This phone is a compact phone, it might not have the huge screen you are looking for, but it is pretty good for its price! I picked this phone for $200 which is not bad in my opinion. It has a 3.15 MP camera, with zoom and LED flash. The camera on this phone isnt good at all. It does take decent sized pictures but the quality isnt that great. For example, during class; I take a lot of pictures of sheets, newspapers so I can go home and continue my homework, this phone takes bad quality pictures and the text is not readable. My old Huawei phone had a 3.2 MP camera and it took much better pictures than this phone does. Also, it does not have a front facing camera but you can make voice calls via Skype. This phone runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) but some come with 2.2. Mine came with 2.3. This phone has a full slide out keyboard which makes texting much easier, but it does make the phone heavier in weight and fatter. And with a case on, its even heavier! Battery life on this isn't that great but it lasts me a couple of hours with music running and receiving/sending texts. This phone has a single core processor, which is good for running some applications, games also work on this like fruit ninja however, games like Temple Run do not run on it. The default browser is slow, Opera Mini works best. Chrome and Firefox aren't available from the Play Store, but you can try the APK download and install. According to the Play Store, a lot of applications are not compatible but its not true, most of those apps do run; an example would be Instagram. Speakers on this phone are amazing and the sound quality is pretty good. Music does sound better with the Power Amp application. This phone is equipped with a 3.5 mm head phone jack and Samsung does throw eabuds with mic with the phone. It also comes with a 2GB microSD card. Internal memory is horrible and a lot of applications are not movable to the external storage. 150 MB is the internal storage but only about 80 is available. Due to that problem, I had to delete the Facebook application because its not movable to SD card. This is a problem, but it does have a fix. It does take a long time to get the hack and does not require Root. This phone also as the option to capture the screen without any applications. By holding the Back + Home + Power button, you can capture a screen shot. However, that method is really clumsy and is a trial and error because pressing back + home will most likely take you to the home page. Downloading Screenshot UX is my recommend, it takes a screen shot and does not require root. The only problem I've had with this phone is far is the WiFi problem. So say for example, you are chatting with someone on KIK messenger, you leave your phone for 2-3 minutes for whatever reason, you probably think no one is replying to your KIK message, that might be the case but it might not be, the phones disconnects from WiFi automatically, it tells you that its connected but its actually not. All you gotta do is disconnect and connect but its really annoying. Well guys this is my review, hope you liked it! Thanks for reading.
