Introduction of samsung galaxy y
The Samsung Galaxy Y is a smartphone approved for all audiences.
Perhaps in hindsight, our Galaxy Note review should've been rated PG.
But well yeah, we're always wiser in hindsight. Anyway, you don’t just
wake up one morning wanting a superphone like the Note. You need a place
to start.
The Samsung Galaxy Y is one little step above dumbphones. It won’t be
long before you know how big this step really was. Android is friendly,
especially in a package like the Galaxy Y, and highly addictive. And
there's plenty to explore.
The Samsung Galaxy Y is most likely someone's first smartphone. It
comes on the cheap so you don't have to ask yourself if you really need
all the extra features. Soon enough, you'll be wondering how you could
live without them.

And no, the Galaxy Y isn't full of the latest tech. It keeps things
neat and simple at a very reasonable price. There's a good package of
preinstalled apps and a full connectivity set. The reasonably fast
processor and the very recent Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread are a bit of
surprise. This is a basic smartphone but one that looks up-to-date.

on the bright side, it does offer the full smartphone experience within
budget. Aimed at the young and novice smartphone users, it focuses on
the connectivity and good social skills. The screen resolution and
sub-par imaging are the most prominent among the inevitable compromises.
