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.
