Samsung Star S5230 review
Anyone for a cheap alternative, for example the LG KM 900 searches, which indeed is currently the best touch screen phone is who should make use of the Samsung S5230. I felt the same way. At first I had the LG KM900 Arena in the eye, which seems to me, but still too expensive and too many things such as speed and battery time talking to me, however. So I continued searching and I landed on the Samsung S5230 and I've read several reviews.

I was surprised pronounced as the cell phone came to me. With just under 100g and a definite good design is the damn phone (!) Well in hand. It is light, the display is nice and big thanks to LED lighting really very bright and clear colors with a resolution of 240x400 pixels really enough room for everything. Ingenious part is that it does not need a stylus to operate. Everything can be wonderfully operated with your fingers, because the OS - system is well prepared to represent the elements appropriately.

The phone works very quickly. So far I could not have any speed - find load problems. Also the phone is switched on and the camera is completely fixed to the camera, press - button in just 2 seconds ready to fire. Even my old Nokia lasted for up to 5 seconds. The image is stored after the trigger relatively quickly and then you can directly make more images.

The settings in the phone are also very individual. I guess I still can not find anything that can be set for everything. Samsung offers the user there really a wide variety of personal home screen design, menu and theme.
                             
I have my Samsung S5230 by a 4GB Micro SD card expands, which easily works with the phone together. The mobile phone according to the manufacturer support up to 8GB, but I've read that it will support 16GB SD cards. With 8 GB should certainly have more than enough if you do not want to carry all of his music on the phone with him.

The best thing about the mobile phone, which I already have very commendable, is the keypad to select and write the keypad for SMS! One has since not even really get used to the new touch screen, it is precisely designed in principle as a key - Mobile Phone. Simple class made by Samsung, when I think of Sony Ericsson comes to me grin! School Rating: 1!

Otherwise, there a lot of gimmicks. Image processing, image mode, the camera properly (almost smooth) video recording in 320x240 pixels and a very nice MP3 player, games and other applications. Also a lot of "widgets" that can be displayed on the home screen even in a sidebar. A nice gadget for the home screen is the 3-piece desktop. It has a total of three desktops that you can switches back and forth. Just great solution.

Here is my short Best:

+ Fast Camera
+ Very good touch-screen - Keypad Keyboard and SMS
+ Very nice contact management
+ Individual adjustment
+ Very stylish design, very robust
+ Very clear and bright display at 240x400 pixels
+ Good sound quality for music and hands free
+ Pleasant speed (no trailer)
+ Very good battery life
+ Very nice price / performance - ratio

I think the price in the price / performance - more money than good. Samsung has again brought a good alternative to more expensive models, and if you like I can do without things like Wi-Fi or GPS, and give more power to the battery like eight, then you will be happy with the Samsung S5230.

Samsung Galaxy S III i9300 Smartphone, 8 mega pixel camera, Android OS, dark blue Review

The Samsung GALAXY S III draws us into its spell. And though it's the little things: the screen remains active when you look at it, and you can keep in touch with friends and family. It was designed for people is more than just smart and fulfills your needs by how you think and how you act.
    
Voice S
Why should not answer your phone? Wake it up! Or better yet, tell the GALAXY S III, it will turn off the alarm for a few minutes and you can still get some sleep. Do you accept calls (or reject it), adjust the music volume and tell the camera to trigger when they.
    
Social days
now you can more easily maintain contact with friends and family. With social day, you can associate faces in your photo album with the corresponding streams of social media. After setting you must see only the image and the current status of the person you are.

Direct
The Samsung GALAXY S III even knows when you want to talk. If you are writing a text message and call you prefer, you only have to hold your phone to your ear and the Direct Call function automatically redials the number for you. You no longer need to call or contact lists to scroll. Let the Galaxy S III do the work.

Finally I got it; the S3 of me longed Galaxy.
In the review, I will use my first experience with the device to share with you. My review is once again relatively long, so here is a brief overview:

-1 - Test the components and main functions.
-2 - Comparison of the Galaxy S2 and S3
-3 - Positives and negatives of the S3
-4 - Conclusion and Review


-1 - Test the component and main functions

Appearance and workmanship:
The material of the back is made of polycarbonate, which is up to 300 times more resistant than regular plastic, and a comparison of the two materials is inappropriate to do so here a few 1-star reviewers.
The testimony of some, the S3 would seem inferior because of the plastic back, I can not confirm, to me it makes a very sophisticated look and if you take it in your hand you realize that it is very solid and handles well.

I also like the Galaxy S3 optically very good and despite the large display, I find it not to be too large because the frame is very narrow. Overall, it would make a fine impression, only the susceptibility to fingerprints on the back of some disturbing, but not me personally.

Display:
The S3, with its large 4.8-inch display is one of the greatest smartphone on the market.
The colors of the display are very strong and alive and very little work is shown very sharp. The fears of some, that would have built instead of an RGB display Pensile display a blurred image sequence, were unfounded. The display is razor sharp really. From the side, so when viewed obliquely can be seen on the screen everything very well.

Processor:
Thanks to the built-in quad-core processor you need about lack of speed of the S3 does not have to worry.
It is very fluid and fast and I have not yet had any stuttering or short waiting times.
In normal smartphone applications so only a fraction of the power of the S3 is required. The full performance is only rudimentarily been exhausted, when, for example. Very complex 3D games played, or HD videos look while still using alongside other programs, thanks to what the function 'Pop up Play' is possible.

Camera:
In Galaxy S3, as well as the S2, an 8 - and 12-megapixel camera built not what some had hoped. Only the software side has done. The release time of the camera is extremely fast, so you can make a lot of pictures in no time. There is also a function in which 8 images are taken in sequence and automatically picked out the best and will be sorted out, for example, where you. Has blinked. That worked for me so far in really well.
I still find positive that you get even less light really good pictures. This is probably due to a back-illuminated sensor was installed.

But there is also a flash, so you can make images even in complete darkness.
The picture quality is very good and the videos I've taken are very good in terms of quality and detail has become, the recording quality is high and you can choose between 1080p and 720p.

Thanks to the quad-core processor can also be recorded and videos are shot simultaneously images at full resolution, which I find personally very well.
Without the function might be even in hindsight to pick a specific image from the video, but it would not be of high quality.

Battery:
The battery has a capacity of 2,100 mAh, which is relatively much for a smartphone.
This set out the battery life is noticeable. A normal working day keeps the S3 is very good. It pulls out, according to test reports, approximately 10 hours at a phone or watching videos, surfing or 5 hours in the internet.

Checks I have this information yet, but I can confirm that the battery lasts for intensive use (phone calls, gaming, surfing the WLan) more than 8 hours.

What I like very much the way the S3 to charge wirelessly. It just puts it in the charger the charger in and it is charged by induction. How well does the load function I can not say yet, because the special charger will probably not be available until September ... pity.

Another thing that I like the battery is the ability to exchange it can be. For this is unfortunately not in smartphone, of course. This can e.g. be. Buy a second battery for twice as long to get by without charging. But even if the battery should not need to break down sometimes, as with the iPhone, sending the whole unit, but can simply buy a new battery.

MP3 function:
The S3 has of course to create a very good MP3 functionality with the ability play lists, sort music by artist and much more. I've been missing until now no function of the music player. It also functions as the song lyrics display like that very much. In for listening to music are already relatively well supplied earphones. Even the built-in 2 x 2 watt speakers deliver excellent sound quality and allow you to legally listen to loud music.
    

My press highlights of the new features:

Pop up Play: This function allows watching a video while you eg. Retrieves emails, or surf the Internet.
So if you just looked at a video and you get a new e-mail sent to you just press the 'play' icon pop up and the video is already reduced, so that you can answer the mail.
The video can be moved as desired, e.g. if it. Just in the way and block the view.
I personally like this feature very well; I use it frequently and find it very useful.

S Voice:
This function is similar to the IPhone Siri 4s. It is basically like a voice control, we know from personal computers, only much smarter, because you can speak in normal sentences and the meaning of what is said is understood anyway. And it works in most cases quite well. One can thus, for example. Enter a date, set the alarm, open a program, dictate a text message or dial a number can be ...

In practice it is found that S voice is not matured to 100%. Although all the standard functions work very well, but when you talk normally with the mobile phone, or asking a question, it is sometimes misunderstood or must formulate his questions differently, so they will get a good result. But there will certainly be ongoing updates to S voice, so it does not bother me that the feature is not yet ideal.

Call quality:
The evaluation of the quality of conversation reminds me of a 'non-professional' bit hard because I have no way to compare it with many other smartphone. But my subjective impression of voice quality is very good. (As a test partner acted the Galaxy Ace S5830.)

Other:
The S3 has indeed some new useful features, like me for example. That it is recognized that one just looks at the display. It is in fact why not even if the display is already a long time has not served.

The release function of the Galaxy S3's good. It detects when you take it back into the hands vibrate and then, if, for example. Has new messages, or someone is calling. The so-called 'Notification LED is very useful because you can see by now that there is something new, and above all, what exactly. Because the LED has 3 different colors (blue, yellow, green), as a charge indicator, a battery for the display and as a notification for new messages.

You can also specify the various LED's own functions.
So you can adjust to, for example, that the blue LED is lit when there is something new in Facebook, the yellow and green for new SMS for new emails, etc. This only works with an additional free app from the Google Store Play 'Lite Light flow' name.

Thanks to the Notification LED's can be expected when the Galaxy S3 for example. On the table, just in passing, whether it is news without having to take it into your hand.
The Led can also be disabled by the way, if you feel it as a nuisance.

Vital statistics
the nexus of Samsung Galaxy weighs 5.29 ounces and measures 5.33 x 2.67 x 0.37 inches. Its 1850 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 12 hours talk time and up to 150 hours (6.25 days) of standby time. It runs on the Verizon Wireless LTE 4G network and EV-DO Rev A and 3G CDMA 800/1900, where the frequencies of 4G LTE are not available.

The Galaxy nexus is running Android OS 4.0 (called Ice Cream Sandwich), which adds powerful new ways to communicate and share while enhancing the best features of Android: easy multitasking, notifications rich, customizable home screens, widgets of variable size, and more.

The new ice cream sandwich interface has a navigation bar on the screen that replaces the hardware buttons for back, home and menu found in more phones with Android. And with the integration of Google +, you can video chat with groups of up to 9 friends, and easy to upload and share photos and videos.

There are phones with larger screens (Galaxy Note), faster CPU and GPU (Rezound), thinner profiles (RAZR), more memory and longer battery life, but the Galaxy Nexus (version Verizon LTE) gets a respectable amount of all together in one package, and leaves me almost nothing to complain about.

SUMMARY: This can be one of my longer comments, so in a nutshell: BIG, but nice touch, but begs to be used with both hands. The screen is impressive (bright and clear) and the keyboard is correct. No problems with signal coverage. Average levels of volume. Android interface feels smooth and polished smooth. Very good camera, but cam vide has a lot of issues. "Typical", ie the LTE battery life varies depending on use, at best a day on one charge.

Android 4.0 operating system:

Highlights: The operating system they feel integrated, fast and mostly intuitive. Unlocking the face is not just a gimmick, which is mostly reliable (though not to bad light), and is very quick to take me to the home screen. Pass-like gestures similar to the Web OS Palm not made through change management and recent applications. The ability to expand and customize the widgets screen is not only fun, but really useful - for example, I created a display of "home" where I am more interested in time, and G + Facebook updates, and feeds on my bike forum, as my "work" screen has quick access to certain websites and applications you use regularly. Icon animations to display transitions are subtle, but just enough to give a kind of front-end 3D effect. The selection of the "live" funds is clear, but some of the most graphically intensive stop the phone just a little - and as great as they look, they still opt for cheesy (and static) pictures of children. We expect this to be a Nexus device, new OS updates coming with regularity and speed of Google, Verizon promptly - but keep in mind that this can be a bit more of a beta device, as it believes that the first width of the entire distribution.

You need to know that because the operating system is new, not initially application incompatibilities. This is not a coup against the Galaxy Nexus - is something that early adopters should expect a new platform. I hope this will last only a short time, since new Android 4.0 devices are in the pipeline for release in the coming months.

Phone deposit:

For starters, I like 4.0’s largest "clean" dial pad. It is also easy to spot from any of my contacts, as selected from all sources (personal Gmail, corporate email via Exchange, G +). But I prefer to use voice dialing, because I'm often leads to call, and I prefer the voice of the Blackberry wing confirmation (Android 4.0 still forces me to look at the screen to confirm). External speaker sound quality is strong enough for most cases, but only a little quiet and flat compared to other phones (not a problem on my visor mounted Bluetooth speakerphone or headset), and my voice quality is apparently clear and strong on the receiving end. I live and work in a well covered urban, so the signal is seldom a problem with any phone.

However, I have a couple of "dark spots" in remote areas where I work, and the National Guard has lost an appeal to me yet. LTE coverage has been equally strong with data rates fantastic, fantastic, * but * 4G Verizon antenna is literally in the building where I work in is not enough to say "faster than the telephone line" as in some aspects is faster than my home cable (longer latency, however).

(Note 22.01.12: Have been numerous reports (confirmed by Verizon) of the signal problems, either in marginal or in-building coverage that I personally have not had any problem with this, either Voice calls are reduced (CDMA/1X) or drop data connections (LTE/3G) but there is a small "no data" timeout when the phone switches to 3G LTE, or vice versa.

HOWEVER, out of curiosity I checked my signal strength 3G in Settings> About LTE (must be turned OFF to read signal strength 3G, 4G, otherwise the reception will be shown) and is observed consistently -10 to Nexus -15 dBm Weaker than some other Verizon Android and Blackberry devices that had access to. And to repeat, I am in a well covered and have had zero problems with connectivity.)

Camera:

It was not long ago scoffed at the idea of a "good" in the cell phone camera, but increasingly I have come to rely on the handle of photos is always **** me - and the Nexus is a sniper. The switch to camera mode and the time from shot to shot is off the hook quickly, and the result is excellent. Yes, a tiny lens and low light shots still require a very steady hand and a constant theme. The dynamic range is still a challenge in situations involving the brightest spots combined with dark shadows. But the focus is usually sharp, the colors are quite accurate is not too bright and grainy "noise" is kept to a minimum - especially in the dark details. While the lens + sensor can not freeze a child engaged in a dimly lit indoor situation, super fast shot to shot times almost guarantees that at least one shot will no motion blur.

"But only 5 mega pixels?"  ... compared to previous phones, these photos look - greet - in resolutions typical of least see my 24 "monitor home PC after uploading to Picasa and Facebook Flash is wonderfully bright and properly light a subject of pitch black,. When over-illuminate a subject that is too close. And automatically upload photos from my phone on the ethereal "cloud" through my G + has, almost like an Eye-Fi SD, but better! And with an editing function, which can cut, filter and "fix" my pix before they share.

The camera is certainly more complicated to use than any other current phone, but this complication some flexibility is provided. The shutter fires very fast on the release (not forthcoming), and exposure seems to be compensated in the center (ie, the lighting conditions at the center of the image will determine how the image is exposed). This allows an image of 5 steps in the process of making difficult lighting situations (ie, the brightly lit scene):
- 1. Move the camera around the object to get exposure on the screen I want
- 2. Hold down the shutter button to lock the exposure
- 3. (Without releasing the shutter) recompose the shot if desired
- 4. (While pressing the shutter button) tap the topic that you want the camera focus on that can not be what was originally intended to, or no longer be at the center of my being (if desired)
- 5. Release the trigger to fire

On the other hand, can only burst to release the shutter and hope to get the shot I want. Honestly, outdoor shots do very well with not as much as a quick tap of the trigger. Decently lit indoor shots and shots with flash, when the issues are arm lengths away * are * pretty good, without too many exceptions. Are those first shots in the photos with flash and dynamic light that take time and care to shoot well?

Video Camera:

The video camera, on the other hand, leaves something to be desired. The image is presented is "clean" but also known as the blind "Jello Effect" is indeed present when moving slowly. There is a kind of oscillation which appears to be an artifact of some type of electronic image stabilization.

There is also a problem of intermittent stutter / pause - not bad, just very brief and remarkable. It is less clear when recording in 720p at 30 frames per second, versus mode HD 1080p @ 24 FPS. And finally, there is a weird fisheye effect when panning smoothly if there is an object at close range is not as evident in the long shots. If you are planning on using the video camera function a lot, you want to see this in person before buying - or see if software updates to correct some of these issues. On the plus side, I can vouch that the video images are very focused and good color.

Video:

I love the You Tube app, in this, that integrates seamlessly with the desktop favorite You Tube and lists of subscribers. Videos to expand to take full advantage of the 4.65 "screen, and have a minimum buffer only in the introduction (assuming a 4G or Wifi), without blockiness and artifacting / pixelation associated with my previous phone. Or with Adobe Flash installed, I can access desktop versions of sites such as ABC or NBC to watch full episodes of TV shows.

Browser:

The stock browser is very fast and really makes the substitutes, like Opera Mobile and Dolphin HD unnecessary and, frankly, dull. Pages pinch zoom smoothly and without delay. The displacement is equally soft. Tapping the expanded text format the columns to fit the screen width to eliminate side to side scrolling. With Flash installed and desktop mode selected in the user agent settings, I have access to almost everything I can surf on my laptop. However, there are some pages that are not done correctly (actually, only one in particular that I use for work) that forces the dolphins.

Pros

1.Bigger most notable screen than I expected, since it is only 0.3 inches larger on paper. Writing is a little better, but it remains difficult in portrait mode. It feels more colorful and vibrant, but that could just be me (maybe I'm in the way of hallucination "Wohoo my new phone"). The resolution is equal to V.

2. Better processor/OS-200Mhz higher and 2.3 Gingerbread (VO is 2.2). Much fewer delays in applications. It can handle desktop websites better (with some delays) with flash (wireless recommended). Auto switching between landscape and portrait is much faster than V, so it really became the difference in the improvement V. large video playback. I did not need to download additional codec’s to play videos converted.

3. Flash-Phone support is not powerful enough to handle big sites like daily show / Colbert / etc in high resolution video (audio only ice cream), but he managed to handle South Park, gaming sites, etc. Recommendations on the Wi-Fi only.

4.Slimmer design expected to be no big deal for me, but once held I can definitely feel the thinness compared with V.

5. Better 5 mega pixel camera compared to 3, with support for flash LED. Flash is bright enough to take good pictures in dark environments (in the door anyway), and focuses the camera on the camera mode (or you can focus manually by touching the screen). V auto focused after pressing the shutter button, so that takes pictures of Elite 3 ~ times faster. Is almost instantaneous. It also has micro mirror for self-portrait.

6. Bigger storage for applications, 900MB ~ exclusively for applications. More space if you move your applications (applications that support App2SD).

7. Better/louder sound-speaker sound is heard in the telephone conversation (do not know his name. Ear speaker?). Is strongest, and most importantly (at least for me), you can listen to music while the phone is looking up. OV was sound output on the back, so many times; I either put upside down V or leaned toward him somewhere to hear it in full volume. No more with the elite.

8. GPS-places faster than my V. Google Map is the mildest form that V.

9. Supports most 3D games are in the Play Store. Have not tested because they do not care about them, but they are there unlike V.

10. Faster MicroSD speed up load photos and videos much faster than V.

11. NFC Pay passes credit card support. It can be useful if I forget my wallet at home, but not many stores have really PayPass. I've seen some in McDonald and gas stations.

Cons

1.Shorter life this battery can be YMMV, possibly depending on what applications you have downloaded. I'm using most of the same applications that are used in V, and the battery life seems to 1.5 / 2 times worse in the elite. No Juice Defender, Elite absorbs 3.6% per hour for waiting. V generally used ~ 10% per hour with 3G/WiFi, while the elite are using 15-20% per hour. I am now using Elite JD, and all off (including location data and background data).
