Samsung Galaxy Golden Review

Samsung Galaxy Golden I9230 brings the innovation the world has, since long, been looking for. The same boring candy-bar design for cell phones lacks creativity. Although smartphones are getting thinner and larger with every generation, there is no “wow” factor to impress potential buyers. The Korean company has, on the other hand, succeeded at creating a unique flip design which instantly catches your eye. Furthermore, the feature-rich device stands as a winner in the market.

Read more about this impressive phone below and discover the remarkable features of this high end gadget.

Traditional Flip Design:

Let’s begin with the most exciting feature of the smartphone—its creative flip design. You have an external touchscreen in addition to the regular screen which is revealed after flipping open the phone. What’s more? The phone also packs an old-fashioned keypad which most users are still accustomed to. Therefore, the phone is good news for everyone! Swipe across the touchscreen or type error-free messages and enjoy the ultimate convenience. In other words, whether you are a fan of multi-touch gestures or a tradition keypad, the phone serves you well in any case.

Top-Notch Screen:

Now let’s come to the details about the top-notch screen. Both the external as well as the internal screens offer Samsung’s classic Super AMOLED capacitive technology with multi-touch support. Owing to the capacitive screen’s sensitivity as you swipe across it smoothly, the visibility in sunlight at different angles remains undistorted. Both the screens have the same 16M colors brightness with a resolution of 400 by 800 pixels. The size, however, differs with the external screen, being 3.5 inches, and the one inside has 0.2 inches extra.

Now doubt, Samsung Galaxy Golden price is very high, but it is owing to this innovative design which brings the perk of dual display to the innovation-loving users.

Commendable Performance:

The phone’s performance is appreciated owing to its top-notch processing and perfect user-interface. A dual core Krait processors runs at an impressive speed of 1.7 GHz to perform all the functions so fast and smoothly. Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset further contributes to its remarkable performance.

In addition, Android’s Jelly Bean 4.2 operating system also contributes towards making the phone exceptionally superb. Just use latest Android apps and download updates from Google Play Store whenever you like. The user interface is considerably attractive and very easy to work with, so that the new I9230 can be appropriate for a variety of audience.

Outstanding Camera:

After paying a high Samsung Galaxy Golden price in Pakistan, you would expect both the software and hardware to be exceptionally good. This wish comes true in the form of the phone’s perfect super-class camera which is supported by photo editing software for taking wonderful stills. Use the primary 8 MP camera for high resolution pictures enhanced by LED flash, autofocus, and face & smile detection. You can download a number of free photo editing software applications from Play Store to add more enhancements and artistic effects.

The camera at the front offers a considerably good 1.9 MP resolution. Use it as a mirror, for self portraits or for video chatting. The functionality is not limited.

In addition, make videos and enjoy surround sound recording. The videos are recorded with 1080 p at 30 fps (Frames per Second).
