Samsung GALAXY Gio User Reviews

Its very good phone , and my first smartphone. I suggest this phone to new smartphone users. There is no much cons. Only camera need led blitz. And it will be better when will can create folders on menu view.

119 euros in holland with Samsungs great service you cant go wrong.
The phone feels solid and has a decent crisp 3.2" screen.
Its fast enough to do most games although heavy 3d games is a bit to much.
This should be enough for everyone.

Nice phone, only con is low internal memory, though that's not a problem for most people.
There are reports that the gps is bad, and I've never noticed that, I use it a lot and it works great. It only sometimes takes a little longer to find sattelites when I've not used it for a while, and that is normal.

I think this is a very nice phone but most of my text has been written under the rating :)
It's definitely better than the Wildfire S but of course not better than the galaxy Ace.I've had both the Gio and the Wildfire S and I think the Gio is better,but I would go for the Ace- better camera,bigger display and looks better. So if you're really not so desprate wait for the Ace :-) But still one of the best phones I've had!

This is my first smart phone and I've only got one thing to say . . . EXCELLENT! I can easily say that with the new Android 2.3 firmware (after you update it*) it is easily comparable to an iPhone in every way shape and form! Highly recommended to get if you love touch phones which do NOT lag, have a lovable interface, and design, and has good call quality, internet and display resolution!

everything is fine, appart from the fact it turns itself off constantly at random times (3 or 4 times a day) then wont turn on unless i take the back off and take out the battery, then turn it on. also the bottons at the bottom dont work from time to time, have to turn the phone off and back on to get them to work

I am very satisfied with this phone. It is really fast and the menu's are smooth and slick. The camera are not top quality, but it works. The battery lasts for a quite long time with little use. I bought this phone as a replacement for the Nokia 6700s and it is a huge difference. The only thing I miss is led blitz. I also got a iPad and android is a much better Os than the iOS. This is not the best phone on the market, but at the affordable price, this is an awesome phone and I love it. I wanted a small androidphone and I am very satisfied.

Very nice smartphone, The 3.2” LCD display sports the decent for its size 320x480 pixels resolution, and is of quite good quality. It is bright, with good viewing angles for a regular TFT-LCD screen, and rich color.
this 800MHz CPU is very good, and have Android froyo 2.2.1,
The quality of the photos taken with the 3MP camera was a nice surprise, even on the dark,

Very good smartphone, I like my samsung Gio but this phone can't support adobe flash,,, The camera very standard, and this phone is very good display with 16 M colour,,, Samsung Gio is value for money, Good froyo 2.2.1 and I hope I can upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread...

Good phone
I have used his cell phone, this is awesome cell phone to use but low battery life annoys me more then any thing else. Internet runs smothly. I tried to get flash player from android market but also this is not downloadable. Google maps 5.0 are not available yet for this so you have to stay with 4.5 without voice navigation.
but overall in this price range,the smartest smartphone.. I'm lovin it..

I recently bought this phone...and i must say..it fits perfectly to my needs...This is one of the best phone running android...which is affordable....It comes with all essential features such as GPS, WiFi, 3G, Flash support, integrated social networking sites...hotspot..capacitive touch screen...navigation, maps, multitasking multi touch, ambient light sensors accelerometer, proximity sensors..3.2 mp camera with 15fps 320x240 recording...fm radio..plus the revolutionary android market and the samsung app store.

i bought it 2 months ago after inquiring its specifications from the internet. it fell in my range economically and functionally as well so i decided to take it finally. after using it i can say that it's a nice phone overall but having deficient camera result at night or in less light because it has no led flash light and rest of the features are great. i found it a nice phone for internet and daily usage.

Superb phone in terms of features and functionality. Touch screen is very responsive, it is a 3.2", so texting is sometimes annoying, but you can get used to it after a while. Phone comes preloaded with Swype keyboard, which makes life much easier typing on the screen.

Screen is clear and readable in sunlight if you turn the brightness all the way to the max. Overall and in general, the screen is nice and pleasant to look at.

I wish the phone had any type of front facing camera, then I would be able to use it in Video chat.

For the great price of this phone, there is going to be some comprises. For example, despite having an 800MHz processor, the phone can sometimes be a little bit laggy while in the menus. The SoC in this phone is made by Qualcom and the processor uses the older ARMv6 instructions set, while most of the new phones come with ARMv7 CPU's. And with 150MB of internal memory, you will run out of space very quickly. Ofcourse, the device can be rooted, and then all apps can be installed on the memory card by default.

I never ran out of RAM with the 278MB RAM that the phone has.

The phone design is simple yet beautiful, weight and dimensions are perfect.

I am very pleased with my phone, I have it since 1 month and still can not put it down.
