Samsung Galaxy 3 Android Mobile Phone

The Galaxy 3 also comes with built-in GPS and A-GPS support. It can be used with Google Maps or a third party application of your choice. For the camera it allows for Geo-tagging.

Misc. Features
Samsung has included quite a few handy tools with the Galaxy 3. The Write and Go app is by far the mot handy when it comes to taking notes. It also lets you either send the notes as a message or update it to your FB account, save it as a memo or to you calendar. Speaking of the calendar, it can sync with your Google/FB account to keep you updated with upcoming birthdays, appointments etc. Other handy apps include ThinkFree Office that allows you to view, edit and create documents that you can store in an online account or access from your SD card.

Camera
Another feather on the Galaxy 3’s cap is the heavily loaded 3MP autofocus camera. Features range from the basic like White balance and effects to a variety of scene modes to shooting modes like Samsung’s Auto Stitch Panorama, Action shot, Smile Shot and plenty more.

Image quality for a 3.1MP phone camera is really good in both outdoor and indoor conditions.

Macro shots are tend to be quite detailed.

Battery
The battery life was outstanding. With a talk time of over 5 hours on an average the Galaxy 3 fared really well on this front too. I didn’t need to charge the handset for over two days with regular usage. Very impressive.

The Bottom Line
I’m happy that Android powered devices are becoming more affordable all the time. Samsung’s Galaxy 3 comes with a price tag of Rs. 12,300 (MRP) but is available in certain locations for Rs. 11,900 (MOP). It might not as cheap as Spice’s Android offering but it offers a little more and fares just as good (if not a little better). Ultimately it’s your personal brand choice that will take precedence. The Galaxy 3, although I don’t think to be a great looking handset and a bit slow, is still a feature rich device that’s great for Multimedia and a lot more. As Android handsets go, it’s a great option. I say go for it.
