Also known as Samsung i5500 Corby Smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Europa, Samsung Galaxy 550, the Samsung Galaxy 5 is very unique and has a texture and shape which is very much different from the traditional smart phones. The phone seems to be an incarnation of Samsung’s Corby which is very sleek. The shape of the phone trims down as one gradually moves to the end of the phone. The phone is designed in the traditional Samsung way of having a glossy plastic material for covering the back area of the phone. The phone can be said as below average in respect of looks but when it comes to display of the phone, the phone is over whelming and attracts every generation.
The phone has a 2.8 inch capacitive touch screen which allows great screen touch use... The phone operates on Android 2.1(upgradable to 2.2) which acts the soul of the phone and renders great experience to the users. TouchWiz 3.0 has also made some significant contribution towards the superiority of the touch use interface.
Samsung Galaxy 5 comes with a 2 MP camera which offers great photo capture and video recording. The camera allows additional functions such as multiple shots and also other forms of shots which include shots in negative, sepia and grayscale form. The phone shoots videos at 15fps which is very good from an android phone’s version.
The music player in the phone is also very good which allows choice of tracks and selection among various playlists that yet again proves the user friendliness of the Smartphone. Presence of 3.5 mm headphones is also a key component as it can very well be used with other kinds of headphones which have the same jack. This adds flexibility in operations of the phones and its use.
The phone runs on a 1200mAh battery which has a talktime of 9.5 hours and on standby basis the phone can go for 520 hours. The phone has also been provided with a better connectivity system which includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G. All these packages makes it an ideal Smart phone to purchase, added to it, addition of internet browser helps one to stay connected to the social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Orkut.
Samsung Galaxy 5 is priced somewhere around Rs.8,500 and it makes it an ideal item which needs to purchased at any cost. The facility provided in such a range is almost like a steal where people should think themselves to be lucky in availing such phone at such low prices. The camera could have been better but still it is not bad along with the configuration of the phone.
