Technology Review

The Samsung Galaxy 5 is the newest addition to Samsungs growing Android based Smartphone range and is expected to be released in the UK come July; however, with the Samsung Galaxy 3 being released around the same time how does the Galaxy 5 compare? With many mobile phone deals online, quite a lot.

The Samsung Galaxy 5 does not distance itself considerably from the Corby family and is pretty similar in terms of design and style; it sports a 2.8 inch touch screen with 240×320 resolution. One of the most desirable features of the Samsung Galaxy 5 is the fact that it offers the user both 3G and Wi-Fi. It is surprising how many Smartphone’s are coming out now that only offer one or the other so the addition of both is a welcome feature. Find Galaxy 5 deals online from comparison sites like Moby1. You can also find mobile phone with free gifts.

Perhaps one of the most disappointing aspects of the Samsung Galaxy 5 is it’s camera; whereas the Samsung Galaxy 3 offers a decent enough 3 mega pixel camera, the Galaxy 5 will only come equipped with a 2.0 mega pixel one, without flash. Although it does have Samsung’s lauded Social Hub which means that you will be able to keep constantly up to date with your entire social networking updates and status changes. Furthermore you will have full access to the growing Android Market which you can find around 70,000 apps from just about everything from medical apps to GPS. It may not be as extensive or universally admired as the iPhone app store however it is a growing open source community that can only get bigger over time.

The Samsung Galaxy 5 isn’t a bad phone per se however some features, most noticeably the camera, leave a lot to be desired. However both 3G and Wi-Fi, as well as Social Hub means that the Samsung Galaxy 5 will certainly appeal to those who have already converted to Android.
