I love this phone. It does all the things I need it to do a few are. Monitor tide charts and Google spreadsheets. I love the navigation my wife had a I phone and quite often her nav is wrong and mine is not. Thank you samsung!!!!
I really don't have anything bad to say about this phone. My one frustration is that I previously owned an iPhone, iPad and iPod and in doing so I owned a lot of music that I had purchased thru iTunes. When I changed to Samsung I lost my ability to listen to my music. Because of this I think I will be going back to the iPhone because of this. That is unless I can find a way to play all my music onto my samsung phone.
I had android then went to IPhone. I decided to go back to android. I chose this phone because of samsungs reputation and quality of products. I love my phone and if there is a problem they are there to back up their products
This smartphone is great in that it works well to help me accomplish my tasks in an efficient way while still being stylish. The screen size is perfect for me in that it is large and not bulky. The Samsung voice feature is helpful while I'm trying to multi task and it recognizes voice very effectively.
Love my phone!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, screen size is just right
You will definitely have to purchase a protective case for this phone. I have never had problems with a phone getting damaged but I have had to replace 2 phones from broken screens from dropping them. Also I have had problems with the ear piece not working. I have to turn on the speaker to use the phone.
I like the phone now that I've learned how to use it. It does a lot of things quite well. The learning curve is slow because there are some many things to setup as default. The default is a memory and battery hog. There are too many apps already loaded most of which I use other downloaded apps to replace them. I wish they would either have a tutorial as to these programs to let the operator download them rather than have them pre-installed without any way of uninstalling them; they are there forever!
I'm really aggravated because the latest system upgrade will not allow apps such as Goodsync etc. to sync folders & files from my PC to the extsd card. This has been a setback which really ticks me off!
The cellphone portion works quite well but not as sensitive as my previous phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, like the camera
Cons: to many resident apps installed., cell phone needs better sensitivity, does not deal well with the external sd card, needs a bigger battery option, camera needs better setup for picture size., picture dpi should be at least 150dpi
Overall, this is a good phone. I think there is a learning curve for battery management with apps. Some of the preinstalled apps kill the battery so I just disabled them. Mostly a smooth OS. Voice to text has proved a challenge as it doesnt seem to translate my speech correctly most times. Sleek & pretty
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, with a case fits perfectly in my hands
