Samsung Galaxy R I9103 is a high-end member of the Galaxy line of Android smartphones. Although high-end, the Galaxy R pales slightly when compared with Samsung’s flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S II. Compared with the Galaxy S II, it features a slightly smaller display, a lower resolution camera, a less powerful processor, and a less sexy design. However, the Samsung Galaxy R comes at a lower price, which will work for quite a number of consumers.
A Powerful Gingerbread Smartphone
Samsung Galaxy R features Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) on a 1GHz dual-core processor with 1GB RAM, which offers smooth and fast performance. Expect comparable performance to that of the Galaxy S II from this phone.
Samsung Galaxy R features TouchWiz UI on top of Android with Social networking hub, Music hub, Readers hub, and Games hub. Like most Android phones, it comes preloaded with Google Apps like Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Talk, YouTube, and Picasa, with more apps available at the Android Market.
Display and HD Camera
Samsung Galaxy R has a 4.2-inch Super Clear LCD touchscreen, which is slightly smaller than the 4.3-inch touchscreen on the Galaxy S II. Although the display falls short of being a Super AMOLED Plus display like on the Samsung Galaxy S II, it is bright, colourful, and is readable under direct sunlight. It features the same WVGA (480 x 800 pixels) resolution as S2.
Samsung Galaxy R sports a 5 megapixel camera on the back with LED flash. The camera records 720p HD videos and comes with features like autofocus, face detection, and Geotagging. Samsung Galaxy R also has a front-facing VGA camera for video calling.
