The Good:
-handels everything that you throw at it and is a great machine for multitasking without lag or hiccups
- has a ton of great features like multi window(have two apps opened on screen at the same time), pop-up play (see a video while playing a game or browse the web and etc.), s voice (the Siri variant from Samsung) and etc.
- the internet connection is really good through wi-fi and mobile data
- no problems with GPS and navigation although it takes a bit (15-20 seconds depending on where you are) to connect to the satellite.
The Bad:
- Battery: After a full day of using this phone it turns out that I finish the day with just 1% from the battery. You might think that 2100 mAh battery is too much but it isn't for a quad core device.
- RAM: This device has 1 GB of ram. Actually it let's you use about 830 mb of ram the rest is used for the system to run on. You can't use all of those 830 mb because 620 of them are used by apps and UI (user interface).
- UI(user interface): The user interface is Samsung's Touch Wiz version 4.0
It brings a lot of features and widgets but uses 350 mb of ram.
The ugly:
- design: Now the design is based on the theme : "Inspired by nature".
The phone is mostly curved and it's plastic build makes it feel cheap although is very expensive.
In conclusion this device is good for normal or heavy usage if you ignore the bad things that aren't making it shine as it would be without them.
Time has passed and now more people are pointing their attention at the next generation galaxy phone which is rumored to be much better. This device was part of the high end smartphones of 2012 and my favourite.
