Samsung Galaxy Fit Mobile Phone Review

We love the Samsung Galaxy range and always feel excited when they announce a new model, so we were almost beside ourselves to learn that their latest is a budget handset that supposedly offers all of the luxury of a mid-range smartphone. But following our disappointment after the release of the Galaxy Mini we were a bit apprehensive about giving our heart to the Fit, but does it redeem the Samsung Galaxy name?

It appears that the Samsung Galaxy Fit was created as a mid-range to budget smartphone that can take the regular phone user from a standard phone to a smartphone with minimum confusion and if we’re honest, it seems to work! We found that the overall appearance of the phone is quite stylish and is very well-designed. The size makes it a comfortable feeling in the hand and the quality of the handset overall was good, so you don’t feel as though it’s going to break whenever you use it.

The screen is a great 3.31 inches, which isn’t the biggest or best we’ve come across but it fits the bill and is quite impressive for a mid-range handset. We found that the screen is really quite clear and crisp so browsing the Web and navigating menus is really effortless and quite enjoyable. After the disappointing 3.2 megapixel camera on the Apollo we were pleased to see that the Fit offers a 5 megapixel camera that is incredibly quick in use.

There are a number of modes to get the best shot, including macro and portrait settings, and with smile detection on-board you can get some great pictures of your friends and family. We weren’t as keen on the fact that there was no physical shutter release button, but we’re pretty much used to using an on-screen control now.

The Samsung Galaxy Fit is a promising phone with good features that could compete with today's latest. Samsung hasn't lost the mobilephone market yet and they also have a free TV with contract phone that might change your mind when buying the phone you have in mind.
