Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670

SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT S5670 REVIEW

The Samsung Galaxy Fit is a budget smartphone running Android 2.2 (Froyo). Normally these kinds of phones are a bit disappointing, with so many compromises made to meet the price, often hiding the true power of Android and making for an uncomfortable user experience. But for the first time, Samsung have managed to distil the essential features of a high-end smartphone into a fantastically cheap package without really cutting back on any essentials. Samsung’s latest addition to its Galaxy range is the Android 2.2 Samsung Galaxy Fit. The phone's specification suits its budget price - it has a 600MHz processor, a small 160MB of onboard storage and a 3.3-inch 240 x 320-pixel display. At 110x61x12mm and weighing just 108g, it's a compact and lightweight handset. The phone feels well made and seems like a more high-quality proposition than HTC's significantly more expensive Wildfire S. The chassis may be completely plastic, but the combination of the device’s metallic edging and ribbed back panel save it from looking cheap. You know, we weren't expecting a lot from the Samsung Galaxy Fit, but we're very impressed. There's really nothing more that we could ask for at this price. A higher screen resolution would be the bees knees, but even the more expensive HTC Wildfire can't offer this. In fact, we're thinking that the Galaxy Fit could take over from the Wildfire as our favourite budget Android phone.
