Samsung Galaxy W - User Reviews

  • I bought three Galaxy W 7 inches and I am in Canada using Freedom Mobile .My problem I ca not use my new phone I love so much BUT I can not use my phone .How can I upgrade my phone.I test other net weak in Canada like Telus,Rogers,Fido Chart ect all those does work using my phone.Please help me I can use my new phone

  • I have had my Samsung galaxy W for 3 years now and I owned a Samsung galaxy Mega 6.3 and they use the same battery!!

  • looks like the ancestor of mi max 3

  • 7 inches ????

  • Its sept 2018 and i still use this gadget everyday. I wish this could be updated to nougat or oreo. Stuck at jellybean.

  • where can i buy this one? galaxy w??

  • Where can I buy the phone

  • Why I can not use my Samsung Galaxy W on Freedom ( Wind ) cell phone .What should I to use the Samsung Galaxy W

  • Why do I can't upgrade version. It's difficult to use some application.

  • I use this more often than my Note5.

  • Galaxy W should be using the same battery model as Mega 6.3, you might want to check with your local agent or reseller for more details.

  • You need to find the battery in Korea. Even here, that battery is really scarce. The price of the battery would force you to choose buying new tablet.

  • I have carried a phone and a tablet for work for the past few years, saw this on EBAY and bought it. Runs on ATT for me with no issues. I'm trying to locate a spare battery with no success, any out there that knows where a battery can be located please post a comment.

  • I have the 6.3..I love it..nd I use it daily as a phone..I would love a 7in phone..tablet..where can I ger it..I know it was only available in korea..is it in the states yet

  • Does Samsung pay work on this phone?

  • I have this phone. It came with two covers.

  • I'd buy this to use it as a tablet, because compared with those low priced tablets, this phone is way superior.As for the specs it can be compared with high-end Samsung tablets, but way cheaper, because it's advertised as phone.Let's be serious, who finds a phone this huge comfortable and practical to use?It's great as a tablet, I'd buy it without hesitation, but to use as a daily phone?No way!I have a Note 4 and it's still huge with 5.7 inch,even the Nexus 6 is too big and starts to be impractical, but at 7 inch it goes to a whole new level.

  • 7 inch. Is it a tablet or a phablet, judging by the size of the screen it is undeniably a tablet but due to some odd reason it looks like a phablet.

  • need a hard case for this phone

  • Do they make cases for this phone yet?

  • I agree

  • How do you like your phone? Was thinking about buying it. Can you connect with a Mini keyboard

  • I bought the phone about 3 months ago...and use it with Tmobile data plan. Everything works well. No complaints.

  • I've also been looking at this phone on ebay and really am thinking about getting and I live in New Jersey and I have MetroPCS which is now T Mobile's prepaid subsiduary so basically MetroPCS is running on the T Mobile network being that you already have the phone I wanted to ask I w how was service especially 4G LTE service I currently have the Samsung Galaxy mega 6.3 and I know this phone would be a little bit bigger which is exactly what I'm looking for I happen to do Security so I use my phone a lot free streaming movies and TV like I said I do security so I'm basically sitting around not doing anything for a couple hours lol any info about the service that you're getting would be helpful bro I really appreciate it I hope to hear back from you have a good one

  • Bought this on Ebay from South Korea. Using it on T-mobile network in NY. Had a Galaxy Note 2 before and wanted something bigger. It's huge. Too big to carry around but I'm getting used to it.

  • Looking at the specs sheet makes me wonder... how come this Galaxy phablet did not become MAINSTREAM?! I've been looking for a Samsung-only 7-inch phablet with decent specs, found this, but where is this available/sold? BTW, isn't it that there was a smartphone (NOT TABLET) that was EXACTLY NAMED like this? Google it.

  • this phone avaible at malaysia? because i want to buy it. i look at the specs look very good . may i know when this phone come to malaysia and the price of this device?

  • it's too large

  • this is trully most inspiring cellphone as ive been waiting the longest for the largest screen for samsung galaxy phones ive got the galaxy mega 6.3, only 8 gbs but im also interested in the galaxy mega in 32 gbs or 16 gbs-but this samsung galaxy W is the best one yet for me love the large screen and the beautiful slim design as well

  • I want one too i have the 6.3 but need this one now

  • guys in asia where can i buy it online?

  • Is the phone Samsung Galaxy W T255 already available in Malaysia this 2015? Thanks.

  • To my understanding right now its not in the states; only in south korea but you can order one through ebay. They did give a warning to make sure the korean based network is compatible with the US network because the seller would accept returns based on that. I think it premiered last summer so I'm not sure the reason it hasn't made it to the US yet, but i specualte it has soemthing to do with the premier of the iphone6 and 6plus coming out next month.

  • Hello ! Radio: TBC. What is mean ?

  • Where can buy this phone? I really like it, almost like Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3, but more bigger.

  • this phone avalible in Malaysia

  • Is it has arabic language at face

  • Come Baby... I'll Tell U The Features...♥

  • What Is The feature Of This Phone?

  • Not in US yet mid 2015

  • Would love a W! Finally, a real phablet! Why are American carriers so reluctant to carry big cell phones? Obviously people really want them.I see more and more people using the Samsung Mega and if Apple was making a bigger phone than the 6+, it would be a huge success. The argument that big phones don't fit in pants pocket is the wrong argument. If people really want to put their phone in their pocket they buy a small phone but most of people men and women, carry bags where they put their phones and tablets in.

  • Hi, What vs of Android use your W? Do you have options of Call Forwarding on Settings? On my W not show and need it to move my sim to another smartphone to disable a number on call forwarding :(

  • no updated model , this is the last 7 inch mega

  • I came from a Mega 6.3 to this Model. Nice 7' Display & it can pretty much do all the basic functions of an Andriod Phone. I loaded it up with Movies in the 64GB SD Card i installed & its the perfect size to watch em when im out and about. LTE Capable as well as all other Data Speeds available. Cant wait for the updated model when or if it comes out. So far its the perfect model for me coz you dont have to lug around a seperate Tablet!!!

  • i bought it from ebay . i am in greece

  • Plz can anybody tell me ..where to buy this mobile...really interested.

  • Hi..where to buy this mobile..interested. .where u bought from ..is it available in uae market...thx

  • Asus Fonepad is 7" and available since 2013.

  • It is the biggest phone android phone till the date shattering the previous record of 6'4" of xperia Z ULTRA.

  • Yes, i have it and is fabulous :) Is like Mega but bigger! Still, little than a 7.0 tablet.Is a perfect combination between a smartphone and a tablet.With bluetooth car or headphones is perfect, no need to holding in your hand.Of course, not to put in pocket of your jeans only if you have LARGE jeans�About performance is like Mega 6.3, a litlle more powerfull thanks to quad-core and good memory ram 1.5(1.3 visible).Run more games like RealRacing3 or Asphalt or NFS and Leo Fortune and runs great and smoothly.Have NFC and 4G LTE.Surfing on the net without lag or crash.Is a great phablet, still a little bit than 7.0inch were amazing�6.5 or 6.6�but is ok for those who need a tablet and don�t want another smartphone.Battery keep GREAT, about 3days if you don't use games or 3g/4g internet, only a few short calls and 1 day if you play 3-4h of games and surf net, bluetooth activate,etc...and this is great,i just used it until the evening after a full day. Still a BIG minus�have TFT screen display :( Is not that bad, colors and contrast are ok, HD 720p is ok but�not compare with amoled or ips or even s-lcd like on Mega. I really love this phablet and i gave it 9points/10.With a full hd display amoled or s-lcd would have been a blow in the markets�

  • Whaaat.. is that a 7 ' phablet? I have a 6' 3 Galaxy Mega and that's a little too big in my pocket. I have problems with the phone switching off and the volume button with the phone in my pocket. Would be nice to see a 5'8 phone with Kitkat and a camera over 10 megapixels :)

  • A tab with removable battery

  • A tab with removable battery

  • This smartphone suffers gigantism

  • Good phone, use and through

  • dat size!!!!!!!! o.o

  • this is very nice and smart phone ..so buy this phone any tention..............

  • good to use but inconveniences are constant. :-)

  • Hillarious

  • AGREED!!! Me too im waiting mega6.3 upgrading to batter spec but NOT upgrade to bigger size like 7"! This is stupid!!!

  • I think this is getting ridiculous. 7" is too big for a phone and also under spec as well. What I'm looking forward to is the upgrade of Mega 6.3 with better spec. I think most people will welcome it.

  • This is my own opinion too - Wanted is Samsung Galaxy with screen size 6 to 6.5 inch with premium specs! eg QHD, Snapdragon 805, etc.

  • I want samsung phone with premium specs and screen size 6" - 6.5". Something like overgrown note3. I would changne my sony xperia z ultra with that kind of phone.

  • No Glonass and Beidou support? Only GPS? No good.

  • Why is it that Samsung will never make any phone of screen size above 5.7 inch to have full HD?

  • Very Nice & Super Futures

  • very nice phone

  • its look ferbulas shining smooth opreating system

  • It's hard to handle for most Asian people.... But SAMSUNG is my favorite brand... But I suggest to samm to do a big difference to phone designing... if u can do that today... you'll get 75% of smartphone market to your hands...

  • why would anyone buy this? about as practical to carry around as a pocket dictionary. such a large device (how can i call this a phone and not laugh) yet such a poor battery. not on the latest android release. poor screen resolution. 1.5 gb ram? anyone in the market for a tablet u can make phonecalls from should just buy a huawei product or something similar

  • Not very practical on the go!!

  • Once you start using a big screen phone all other phones with smaller screen will be too small to handle........ Since I've been using my galaxy mega 6.3 i cant go back....... Samsung W is another beautiful beast and it look nice. Thumbs up Sammy.

  • You don't like a phone doesn't mean it's a crap....... All HTC devices and I phones look alike too don't condemn a phone just because you don't like it.

  • Omg its huge a laptop to the ears lol.pass

  • Huawei MediaPad X1 ia much better than this. take a look at spects.here..

  • According to ShameSink increasing Display size and lags in a phone is innovation...lol

  • Nice one.Samsung

  • A tablet folding like a book would be perfect, but technology is not ready yet. Wish i could have one.

  • Why so much bashing ? It is just a tablet that you can use as a phone. I thought i would not like a big phone too, but now everything smaller than my Mega 6.3 seems like a toy. Huge screen is sooooo nice to use. Only pb is you cannot put it in your pocket, so what ? Girls' dress don't have pockets, so they have to bring a purse or a bag, no big deal. And you cannot put your laptop in your pocket but many people use them everywhere. Small phones look ridiculous now, especially for a man...

  • It should be called Lagwiz or Touchlag.

  • W = WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? W = Wtf W = Weird W = Wide W = Way too big W = Whale

  • Total waste I would prefer a tab instead of this

  • wow!! finally i got a bat from samsung to play.. looks like they wanna merge their tv size into their handset size.. and W stands for "weird" with same old design...

  • Thats what i like about samsung, always trying to do something weird, cant wait for more

  • Lols

  • this one is like a phablet.. oooohhhh sooooo biiggg!!

  • Duel Sim or Single sim

  • Phablet with specs of Tab 4, old Snapdragon 400 1.2Ghz Quad Core, still same old 720p display, 8MP Cam, might as well just get a Tab4 7" since it had phone function, best of all cost 2/3 or this resurrect Galaxy W...lol

  • This is very nice and good better than mega 6.3 with design. I think this Indian price is high.

  • samsung Gonna Made So they Launching Big Screen Phone..

  • it appears that samsung is trying to compensate for something with huge phones...probably they compensate for their crappy devices....srsly now...that is one ugly phone...i will be ashamed to go out in public and to have to answer on this phone...samsung should tick to their TVs and leave phones for the grown ups

  • Samsung inc. has totally gone Mad.. what kind of "Toy" they are Launching.. A huge display, big size and a low budget phone hardware specs.. Samsung you should be shame on yourself.. and u should also ashamed on your ever Lag user interface which is called Touchwiz :-\

  • samsung needs a doctor......

  • What A Crap By Sammy ..They Are Totallt waste ..They Are Launching Same Specs and Device ..And All Devices looks same ..Sammy plz Be innovative plz make something worty and STylish Handset ..Or You can copy HTC

  • i think its quite a good phone

  • Seriously, that's the size of the nexus 7. That's not a phone, it's a tablet

  • Exactly like my great Mega 6.3 but even biiiiiigger !!! Once you go big you don't go back...But I think Mega 6.3 is the max size to be usable as a phone .

  • What-the-heck-is-THIS? Like, do you actually put it next to your ear, and make calls with IT???

  • Huawei Media Pad x1 better than

  • Wanna know the difference between this phone(!) & tablets??? OK here U R: This phone: 191.8 x 99.6 mm Galaxy tab 7.0 plus: 193.7 x 122.4 mm What a BIG difference!

  • the guy in the picture is laughing, may be he knows that the one in his hand is a tile instead of a phone.

  • Fabulous Design.......

  • The fall of Samsung will automatically be the rise of HTC world wide. thank you Samsung continue to kill yourself. HTC for life no matter what

  • Samsung W? I think W stands for Weirdest. Or Wacko. Or whatever. This is going to be the wackiest smartphone in 2014.

  • it's better to get Huawei Mediapad X1 it's better in specification and with lower price and better screen and lighter weight just look at this compare link

  • You gotta be kidding by introducing this 7" phone. Yet it only run on quad core 1.2MHz with 1.5 GB of ram. Really can't fit into your pocket. Samsung really need to concentrate on improving Mega 2 instead after taken them by storm last year.

  • You gotta be kidding. A 7" phone. For which market? Furthermore it only run on quad core 1.2GHz with 1.5GB of ram for a phone of this size. Common!! Samsung really need to concentrate on Mega 2 after taken it by storm last year.

  • This is Another spam by samsung.
