Galaxy 5 is one of the best Android phones of its time. Performed well, supported most of the apps while it existed in competition. Later did not even supported the Angry Birds game which was there for the phone earlier. In-built storage was not adequate to accommodate more than just a few of the apps. Used the phone as my first smartphone and is pretty impressed with the battery performance, design, call quality, interface and music. Disappointed with touchscreen for inability to use it while there is a bit of sweat on the phone.
Just bought it last year and it is a remarkable phone!
It could support the latest andriod 4.1 with many things scaled down. (find how yourselves) Battery life is so-so after kept listening to music and reading comics, but shockingly long when left it by itself(lasted about 4 days without offing it).
Games on it is nice as it could run Gameloft games.
Oh, the inbuilt memory space is small so be sure to invest in a memory card---8GB is best and apply swap if you want 30+ apps on this.
A perfect cheap andriod phone for starters!!
Cheers to G5!v (^3^)v
If you are looking with a good smartphone with lots of features than this is a great phone for you.
It comes with android 2.2 and can be found on Amazon for under $150 for an unlocked phone.
I have had mine since Feb. 2012 and have dropped it once 3 feet off the table onto a tile floor (the back popped off and the battery fell out but other than that it was fine and did not receive any major damage) :)
If you do buy this phone you will want to also get a protective cover for it because the back does get pretty scuffed up even by just taking it in and out of your pocket.
As mentioned below the main con's are that it does not support flash and there is no front camera so you wont be able to make video calls.
It works great for playing games, watching movies, listening to music, browsing the internet etc.
Overall it won't replace your laptop :) and it is defiantly not a monster smartphone but for the price and the features it has it is a nice little machine!!!
