Don't Ever Buy This Phone

Posted: Mar 25, 2016, 10:12 PM

Phone owned for more than a year

With the time that I had with this phone, it was absolutely terrible. I would never recommend this phone to anyone. The battery was probably my biggest issue with the phone, as I stated next to the battery quality. Losing up to 20% trying to turn on my phone is absolutely ridiculous.

What I like

Easy to carry.

What I don't like

Almost no phone cases for it.
Small Screen (the keyboard especially, I have small fingers so it wasn't too much of a problem).

Entry Level Phone with Great Value

Posted: Jun 18, 2015, 1:07 AM

Phone owned for less than a month

I got the Samsung Galaxy Light for free when my aunt bought the Galaxy S6 for MetroPCS, so I decided to take advantage of the offer and see was paying $36 up front was a great deal, and must I say it was quite a steal! Despite it's smaller screen and entry-level features, it performs well above it's price point. The 1.4 GHz quad-core processor is quite snappy and responsive paired with 1 GB of memory, which shows little to no hesitation when multitasking. The only disappointment I have with this phone is the camera, in which color reproduction fails to be sharp and accurate with photos. If you have small thumbs and can be pretty concise with typing on the on-screen keyboard, you shouldn't experience any problems when texting, surfing the web, or composing an email. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Light is definitely a great smartphone experience without breaking the bank!
