A 4-core processor, which, although built on cortex a5 (45nm), still has 4 threads and for undemanding programs that make up the main daily load on a smartphone, weak multi-core greatly helps to get rid of long delays in the execution of commands or lags. A 4.7-inch touch screen with a resolution of 800*480 is certainly not the ultimate dream of graphomaniacs, but for TFT the colors and viewing angles are very pleasant, it is easy to confuse with pls screens of Galaxy Tab2, although pls, for my taste, has better rendering of gray tones. The process of reading and watching movies is not complicated by pixelation, especially from good sources, even though the dots per inch are more than 180, and this is the former standard for a comfortable picture in a PDA. Finally, a budget smartphone has 1GB of RAM, yes, it’s LPDDR2, but programs or games that need RAM work

Beautiful, perfect size, functional, fast. I've been using it for 3 days, and this is my 1st smart. For a beginner it is very easy to use, I thought it would slow me down, but no. It's simple :) The price is quite consistent with the product. I bought it for RUR 11,990.

The device's charge drains very quickly. Sometimes Bluetooth is glitchy, which doesn’t make you happy when you need it most.

I’m afraid of software updates, because I’ve not only heard about some malfunctions in programs due to this, but I’ve also encountered something similar on the Galaxy Grand Duos, there’s a review right there on the market
You won’t be able to play games for too long, since the processor, loaded with utility programs, and even a powerful toy to boot, eats up a 2000 max battery very quickly

there is play in the back cover, or rather in the upper left corner.. but it is tolerable.. when you buy, make sure there is no play... it takes a long time to charge.. my former Sony Neo V was charged in 1 hour, and the VIN in 3-4 hours. .

Still there is.
1. The most important and annoying drawback is the difficulty of connecting to a computer via USB (probably this is only for those who “have the wrong Windows, or don’t have drivers, or don’t have Player 10, or don’t have Service Pack 3, or don’t have anything else” Overall a dark forest :/
No matter how you twist it, the computer won’t see it. Although I found other ways to solve this issue, I still struggled for 2 days... It’s unpleasant.
2. As they wrote, the battery is rather weak, but it is weak for all beautiful smartphones. There was a choice between ugly, but tenacious, and beautiful, but insatiable, I still chose the second)))
3. The screen glares too much and gets dirty pretty quickly. It is difficult to watch the video, + the video image sometimes slows down. Well, it's all bullshit.
4. The 5 pixel camera is still rather weak. Camera settings from

General characteristics

Deciding on the type of device (phone or smartphone?) is quite simple. If you need a simple and inexpensive device for calls and SMS, it is recommended to choose a telephone. A smartphone is more expensive, but it offers a wide variety of options: games, videos, the Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, its battery life is significantly less than that of a regular phone.

Before purchasing, check the specifications and equipment with the seller.

Thus, the Korean manufacturer offers all kinds of solutions in various price categories. It doesn’t matter how much money the buyer has, in any case he can choose the right model.

One of these assortment offers will be the Samsung Galaxy Win, which has average characteristics, among which, first of all, it is worth highlighting a large screen with a diagonal of 4.7 inches and two slots for SIM cards. Samsung pays a lot of attention to the card processing mode; it is traditionally well-designed in all the company’s smartphones, this model is no exception.

Equipment:

• Smartphone


• Battery


• Charger


• Cable


• Stereo headset

Design

The model is made in the spirit of the company's current line, when it is difficult to remember the names and appearance of smartphones, they are very similar to each other. At the same time, this is a typical Samsung: the combination of a glossy white body and silver edging, a standard control scheme and rounded shell features have become recognizable parameters.

Case dimensions are average: 133x71x10 mm, weight 140 g. The smartphone is quite wide, so you won’t be able to cover the entire touchscreen area with one hand; this is the reverse side of a device with a large screen. The case is slippery, so when operating a smartphone, there may be a fear that the device will accidentally fall out of your hand. So it’s still more convenient to hold it with one and press the screen with the other.

Above the screen there is a silver speaker grille and a set of sensors. There is no sensor for automatic backlight adjustment in the smartphone.

At the bottom there is a large, convenient mechanical Home button, flanked by a pair of backlit touch keys.

Other mechanical keys are located on the sides, they serve as volume control and screen lock.

At the top there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, at the bottom there is a microphone and a microUSB connector for the cable.

The camera lens protrudes from the back in the center, with a flash and speaker located on the sides.

The panel is fixed very tightly, so to get inside you need to pry it off from the side, after which the battery is removed. On opposite sides of it there are two slots for micro SIM cards and a slot for a microSD card.

Screen

The display is 4.7 inches diagonal and has a resolution of 480x800 pixels. TFT matrix with good viewing angles for a display of this type, the picture is not distorted. Against a background where the resolution is the same, but the diagonal is even larger, the image looks a little better. For your money, this option can’t be called anything other than a compromise; they saved money on the screen, which is not uncommon.

Outdoors, the image fades; on sunny days, the data on the display is very difficult to see. For some reason there is no sensor for automatic brightness adjustment; the backlight is changed manually. This looks strange, especially considering that the smartphone has an intelligent standby mode, when the smartphone does not turn off the backlight while the user is looking at the display.

Performance

The smartphone has a quad-core Qualcomm MSM8625Q Snapdragon 200 processor with a frequency of 1.2 GHz, Adreno 203 graphics. The amount of RAM is 1 GB, its memory is 8 GB, and there is traditionally a compartment for a memory card. The smartphone also detects large cards of 32 or 64 GB. The smartphone runs Android 4.1.2 JellyBean, which is a relatively old version, although most users who don't keep track of new versions won't notice it. The shell works stably, the speed does not disappoint, there are no jerks. This is not surprising, given that such a chip also works well with higher-resolution displays. The performance is enough to run all modern games here; due to the built-in support for DivX and XviD, the smartphone looks promising for those who like to watch videos on the go. Quite a lot of file types are played here without third-party players, this traditionally sets Samsung products apart from the rest.

Interface

On the lock screen, in addition to service information, three shortcuts are displayed that will allow you to quickly launch the necessary applications. Widgets are also brought here and wallpaper can be customized.

At the top there is a line with shortcuts to quickly disable various functions. Several modes are supported for unlocking the device, ranging from finger gestures to turning on the front camera.

The user has 7 desktops, which are used to place widgets, shortcuts, and create folders for icons. Moving between screens is smooth, without delay. If desired, you can remove extra desks by organizing your workspace in a way that is most convenient. The icons at the bottom of the screen are customizable; out of 5 shortcuts, the first 4 can be changed, and the last one is invariably responsible for accessing the menu. You can change the size of widgets by stretching them on the screen.

The smartphone menu consists of 20 icons, which are placed in a 4x5 character matrix on several virtual areas. The background is the picture on the main screen. You can set your own wallpaper on your smartphone for the lock screen, but it may differ from the image on the desktop display.

The font size and style are customizable, there is an intelligent standby function, when the smartphone does not turn off the screen backlight while the owner of the device is looking at the screen, there is gesture control.

Contacts and calls

The general list includes contacts from both the phone memory and the SIM card, as well as data from your Google account or other accounts. An unlimited number of fields are assigned to a contact. From the phone book you can quickly call or write an SMS; there is a division into groups.

Call history is sorted by date. By selecting a subscriber, you can see what calls were made and how many times they were made. The number is dialed using a virtual keyboard. When you enter a number, the phone automatically displays on the screen the contacts stored in the device's memory that match the numbers.

The smartphone can use two SIM cards, the first supports 3G/2G, the second only 2G. There is only one radio module, so during a conversation using one card you will not be able to call the second. But Samsung offers a built-in forwarding service. To do this, you need to specify phone numbers in the smartphone settings, and also select the operating mode: calls from one SIM to another for each card or only for one of them. After this, incoming calls will also be received during a conversation, but it is better to check with the operator about tariffs.

In the settings, the name of the card is specified, and a visual icon is assigned to each of them. In the menu, calls from different cards are highlighted with numbers, everything is simple and clear. To quickly switch between cards, you need to click on one of the buttons in the top drop-down menu, a simple and convenient solution. The smartphone receives different melodies for SIM cards, not only the call signal changes, but also the messages. Wallpaper can also be customized, you can quickly understand which card is active, you just need to remember your color design.

Messages and mail

When sending a message, the phone can display the last used numbers, thereby greatly simplifying the search for the recipient. A message can be sent simultaneously to several subscribers or to a group created in the smartphone’s memory. The device combines correspondence with subscribers into dialogues. A smartphone can automatically delete old SMS if there is no desire to store thousands of archives on the device. As you type text, you can cut, copy, and paste it.

For typing, a standard Samsung keyboard is used, which now has continuous input, a kind of analogue of Swype. There are quite a lot of text settings that make it easier to type; vibration feedback, sound, and automatic placement of dots are turned on if you double-click on the space bar. The language is switched either with a separate button or with a space bar gesture. There is also voice text input, which works very well; you can simply dictate phrases without resorting to the on-screen keyboard.

The mail client works with various servers, everything is quickly and easily configured. You can work with attachments; you can upload pictures or documents and view them on your smartphone. It will also be possible to send some data from your phone.

Calendar

By default, the current month opens, where all important events are highlighted. They are easy to see; there will be a small mark in each cell on the screen. If you select the one you need, a to-do list will be shown in the lower area of ​​the screen. The current date is highlighted with a blue square. All days of the week with black font except Sunday, these days are given red color.

A tab with categories opens on the side: goal, month, week, day, agenda, task. It helps you quickly move around the calendar. The smartphone helps to add additional data using Google, Facebook, Exchange to synchronize events. The new entry is assigned a name, interval, repeat (one-time, daily, every weekday, weekly, monthly, annual). A reminder is set that will work in advance. Additionally, a picture or note is attached.

Gallery

The image is broadcast via DLNA, sent via MMS, email, Bluetooth to social services or file storage. Sets the music and animation for the slide show, as well as the data display speed. Once you open the picture, it will be displayed in full screen. The image is set as the background wallpaper of the main screen or lockscreen, and can be assigned to a contact. It happens that pictures open with jerks, and it is noticeable that the application does not always work smoothly.

Music player

The smartphone plays various formats, these include MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, AMR, OGG, AC-3, apt-X, FLAC. It can play almost anything, including very high-quality recordings, without loss of quality. The player has several categories: all, lists, albums, artists, mood, folders, external devices. You can add additional groups: genres, authors, years, or remove unnecessary ones. The speed of music playback is adjusted and the timer is turned on.

Repeat mode starts for one song or the entire album, as well as mixed music playback. The volume can be changed using the side key or a separate icon in the menu. Among the equalizer settings you can find the following parameters: auto, normal, pop, rock, dance jazz, classical, vocal, bass or treble boost, 7.1 sound, externalization, cafe, concert hall, custom settings.

FM radio allows you to search for stations manually or automatically, and supports creating a list of favorite frequencies. The smartphone can also record broadcasts and save data to a memory card.

Video

The smartphone supports DivX, MPEG4, H.264, H.263, VC-1, VP8, WMV7/8, and can play almost any video without third-party players. In any case, out of several dozen tested AVI and MKV files, not a single one caused problems with playback. While watching a movie, a scroll bar appears on the screen indicating the duration of the video. The film can be broadcast to an external device, the image adapts to the boundaries of the display.

Camera

A 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash is used for shooting. As usual, there is no dedicated button, so the application is launched either through the lock screen or from the menu itself. However, you can take photos using the volume button. There is a front 0.3 MP camera. The smartphone takes good pictures during the day, while analogues from Chinese manufacturers can offer higher quality shooting for the same money. It can also be noted that there will be no problems with shooting texts or documents.

At the moment, the mobile device market offers a huge selection, and difficulties often arise here. Flagship phone models are simply excellent, but there are people in the world who cannot afford them at all. The Win smartphone is designed specifically for such users. It was announced in the spring of 2013, immediately after the Galaxy S4, to which it is very similar in appearance, size and design. From a distance of several meters, not everyone will be able to distinguish them. Of course, the hardware of the device is inferior to the flagship, and there are no funny frills, for example, a barometer or thermometer. But its cost is noticeably lower.

Briefly about the device

So, Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which are already appearing, is a classic glossy device from this series. It is half the price of the flagship, is equipped with quite decent hardware, and its battery is quite capacious. The screen resolution is quite good and the color display is excellent. But the camera on the Samsung Galaxy Win can be disappointing.

The phone of this model can be gray or white. The device looks very stylish and attractive. The case is collapsible. You can easily remove the back cover, it is very thin. The battery is removed. All connectors and buttons are standard. The buttons on the front panel are touch sensitive, and one is mechanical, but the former are almost invisible without backlighting. This can be easily fixed by setting them to glow for the entire time the screen is active. The Samsung Galaxy Win phone weighs only 144 grams, and its official dimensions are 70.7 * 133.3 * 9.65 millimeters. The camera protrudes a little, but not too much. There is no LED indicating missed calls.

Entrails

Connection

The specification indicates a mobile 3G Internet speed of 7.2 megabits per second for reception and 5.76 for transmission. This is not considered too high, but most operators do not support high speeds, so it will be quite enough for use. 3G is available only for the first SIM card and cannot be redirected programmatically to the second, you only need to physically swap them. This can well be considered one of the shortcomings of the Samsung Galaxy Win i8552, reviews of which will show its other characteristics. The device was equipped with single-band Wi-Fi with average sensitivity, that is, there is nothing to complain about in this case. There is also Bluetooth 3.0. The smartphone is connected to the computer via USB only in MTP mode.

Screen

Theoretically, the Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which are mostly positive, has such a weak point as the screen. With a diagonal of as much as 4.7 inches, there is a very modest resolution of 800*480 pixels. The specification says that the matrix is ​​used TFT. However, usually on such screens it is visible and there are not very good viewing angles. There are also quite good viewing angles, there is no fading of the picture on either side. The screen is juicy and very pleasant to look at. And the permission available here is quite sufficient. Of course, if the letters are very small, then their outlines seem slightly rough. However, most users do not feel particularly strong discomfort when using the device. The brightness of the screen is such that it is convenient to use both in the dark and in brightly lit environments.

The five-point sensor is very decent and responds just fine. It is possible that a special coating has been applied to the screen, since it is very slippery and fingerprints can be easily wiped off. The manufacturer indicated that the surface is made of plastic, but it is of such high quality that it can compete with glass, and there are almost no scratches on it.

Operating system Samsung Galaxy Win

User reviews indicate the ease of use of this device, because it is equipped with the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean axis, quite fresh for the fall of 2013, with the addition of traditional elements from Samsung. Installing applications is only possible in the main memory of the device; this cannot be done on a memory card. There is not a lot of pre-installed software, but there are several applications that cannot be removed.

Battery

The Samsung Galaxy Win phone, reviews of which may be interesting, is equipped with a 2000 mAh battery. According to the results of work, it is at the S4 level, although at some moments it even exceeds it.

Phone features

There are no problems with communication, good audibility and video on Skype works well. Since the phone is a dual-SIM phone, there are certain nuances of its operation, but in the settings there is an active mode, that is, it is able to receive calls on both cards even during a conversation.

Photo and video camera

Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which generally speak of its high quality, is equipped with a 5 megapixel photo and video camera. It is worth noting that at this price, most users want to see something more substantial. The camera with autofocus does not shine with quality; even in very good weather and under ideal shooting conditions, the frames turn out “soapy”. And if you shoot in poor lighting, then everything looks very sad. In macro mode, the quality is noticeably better, but this is provided that the smartphone focuses exactly on what interests you.

Video shooting is carried out only at one resolution - 480*720 and 30 frames per second. The resulting videos can be called not of very high quality, and autofocus is completely absent.

There are also VGA resolutions, but it’s better not to say anything about its quality.

Navigation capabilities

Samsung Galaxy Win, reviews of which are quite interesting, does not support GLONASS. It catches satellites at a fairly good speed.

Use in and audio player

You should not use the pre-installed video player, as it does not show everything you want to watch, sometimes there may be no sound, and so on. You can install a good program called MX Player, with which everything works just fine. It can even be used to view high-definition video, but given the screen resolution, there's simply no point in doing so.

If we talk about the capabilities of the audio player, the sound quality here is quite normal.

Working with the Internet and games

The Samsung Galaxy Win smartphone, which has a lot of reviews, displays the content of Internet pages quite well. If you do not use too small fonts, it will be difficult to notice any problem areas. The device turns out to be quite satisfactory for reading Twitter and news.

On the one hand, this device is fast enough to run almost all games normally. On the other hand, it is difficult to install any large game due to the fact that there is simply not enough space in the memory for it. However, for most games that exist at the moment, there are enough resources.

Results

As a result of using the Samsung Galaxy Win as the main smartphone, we can come to the conclusion that it is very convenient to use, and its functionality does not raise any questions. Of course, you may want a more powerful camera, as well as the ability to install software on a memory card, since the resource can be exhausted very quickly. Another point is the price, which may seem a little high for such a set of characteristics. However, it is important to note one thing: if you want to buy an A-brand with such a screen diagonal for ten thousand or less, it will be difficult, and, perhaps, it will be impossible to find a suitable option.

Samsung Galaxy Win is aimed at users who are looking for a larger smartphone, but are not ready to buy Fly or similar ones, while agreeing to put up with a lower screen resolution and main camera. This device is aimed at cautious buyers who are not ready to spend too much money, but at the same time want to try out a large diagonal in action, and also appreciate Samsung products. This model is not intended to turn the heads of millions, leaving its noticeable mark in the history of gadgets, but it will be able to participate with dignity in a segment where first-tier devices are not represented. The ability to use two SIM cards at the same time is a huge advantage of this smartphone, as you will always be in touch with all your contacts.
