Description

The Samsung Galaxy SL GT-I9003 is basically the latest variant of the beloved Android powered smartphone, but instead of finding the instantly recognizable view of a Super AMOLED display, it’s favoring a Super Clear LCD display instead. In addition to the new display, we find it sporting a higher capacity 1,650 mAh battery and increased thickness - 10.59mm compared to the original 9.9mm thickness of the Galaxy S I9000 model. Aside from that, the Samsung Galaxy SL GT-I9003 remains roughly the same in terms of specs.

This device is also known as Samsung GT-I9003

Phone owned for less than a year

Super LCD is slightly down than Super
Amoiled Yet its very nice and bright..... i think at the price of 450$ its the best android 2.2 froyo currently in the market with multifarious features, fast processor and amazing display and I must say that I find this an excellent phone for it's price range. UI is quite impressive and very easy to use. A lot of free apps in the Android Market. Video playback quality and speed is excellent. Audio player is very good too using the headphones that comes with it.

Phone owned for less than 3 months

Overall a very good phone for just Rs.18,000. Much better than Symbian.
Not that good with most of the third party applications. Batt drains faster only when using data network. Processing is very slow when using torrent downloader. Else, the phone is awesome. Gaming is good.
