Ok after we've check the specs here comes my views... :)
I was supposed to get a Samsung Galaxy Grand before i finally decided to get this Galaxy Win for some financial consideration. heheh Tight budgeting here...
But when i got to hold this gadget and get to check it all around i got the feeling of "contentment" right in the way. Yes, honestly I've been so happy using this phone for quite a while now.
In my case, I'm always been keen on the usability and practicality of a gadget for my daily usage. So far, this Galaxy Win, surpassed my expectations. The speed of browsing and surfing the net is really awesome, no lags and glitches I have encountered along the way. I guess that is because of its Qualcom Snapdragon 200 system on its chip and its QUAD Core architecture. The size is just so perfectly fits on my palm and my pocket. Who would want a bulk on their pants aside from the one on the center thingy.. :-)
The camera is just okay with its 5 megapixel, it is good enough for all your selfie moments, and other catch up up moments of your life.
I guess Android 4 and up is the basic standard OS nowadays for an average smartphone android user as this gadget has its Android 4.1 Jelly bean sitting on its core i have no problem downloading my favorite apps which is mostly compatible for Android 4.
The battery is also good enough for me to use it until night time before i go to bed even if I always run my Mobile internet on.
The only thing that gave me a "tsk tsk tsk" moment for this gadget is the front cam with only 0.3 MP specs, it really doesnt make you look good on your selfie moment most specially at night. But nevertheless, i can always use the back camera to get a better looking photos of myself....
