this phone is great everything moves in it pretty fast. The battery isnt great its the same size battery as my photon 4g not sure why they did that. Reception for this phone is poor indoors not sure why also wifi signak is weaker then most phones usuallt the same signal no matter what samsung version you have.
Not what I was expecting. The reception is not that good even with plenty of bars, and the Battery is constabtly dying and I have to charge it a few times during the day.. The built seems ok visually, but feels like a toy in my hands.. I went back to my Samsung EPIC 4G Touch.. Not sure I wish this phone on anyone or even my kids.. :
This phone kept me from getting an iPhone and I am happy I did. The size and Basic Raw Andriod is great. Not having unwanted bloat ware is wonderful. I have discovered more and more things I can do and that I can make this phone do. The build is great even without it having metal and being plastic. It is light for it size and I have not had it get warm or hot and that is a big plus. Overall I would not trade it for another phone unless it was a GSM Galaxy Nexus.
This is the greatest phone I ever owned battery life is not to great but over all it has many cool features I love the that it has Google built in and the search bar at the top of the screen you would not believe how cool this phone is love it so much I'm using it to write this review great job Samsung you made the greatest phone of all time.
I must admit, when I first received this phone I did not like it because of the Google UI. I am used to most of everything that I need coming preinstalled on the phone. Now that I have the phone customized to my liking, I can’t put it down. I have had many High end phones and I will say that this is the best looking phone I have ever laid eyes on! Everything about this phone is top notch. The phone is very quick and responsive and I don’t even have LTE yet…..that includes Internet usage too. This is important to me because I didn’t want to need the LTE on a day-to-day basis to enjoy the phone because of battery life....which has been really good too. I take it off the charger in the morning before leaving for work and put it back on when I return from a 12 hour shift…..that’s with moderate use. Oh yeah, no bloat ware (no apps that you don't want or don't need)! Love it, love it, love it!!!
ok this is my fifteenth android phone and my favorite, the only negative is the signal strength meter seems to be a bit lower than phones I have previously owned but I have not had any connectivity issues I think ICS is awesome and LTE will be too once it is available
Overall, I would say this phone is just alright. It seems to have signal issues just like every other Samsung phone. That in itself is almost a deal breaker. The display is nice, is the usually Samsung display. Battery life is just alright. Typical of an Android smartphone.The battery seems to be in the top 75% of Android phones. It is good, but not nearly the best. The build quality is cheap. Some people prefer plastic, and the truth is, it will be able to withstand a few drops because of the plastic body, but it just feels cheap. Samsung likes to put some texture into the plastic to give it the illusion it is of better quality, but the truth is, the body is cheap, and feels cheap. The battery cover is ridiculously flimsy. Gorilla glass, the usual. ICS is nice, it finally feels like Android is a full OS, and it finally has the features it has been missing forever, such as multitasking ( multitasking that actually works, it is not of much use if there is not easy way to switch back and forth between apps, see what is open, and close what you dont want open.) It is nice to not have Samsungs Fischer Price Themed overlay. Stock ICS is nice. Some people actually like touchwiz, but It looks so childish IMO. Stock keyboard is great. There is some noticeable lag in the OS. It does not always lag, but it lags more often than it should. Physical buttons would be nice. I know this is a feature of ICS, but the screen occasionally stops responding, and the only fix is to actually pull the battery. Something that should not happen, but it does. ( There are not extra apps installed on the phone, so not sure what the issue is )
