Samsung Exhibit II 4G T679 - User Reviews

  • I've had this phone since 2012 and aside of the fact the battery doesn't charge as well as before things are working fine.

  • It's now 2018 and I've had this phone for 6 years. It was replaced years ago as a phone, modded with cyanogen and I've been using it as an mp3 player for audio books. It's dented and the back cover has pieces missing from being dropped so many times, but the phone's still working. Samsung did a great job with this cheap little phone.

  • Mine fell off my pocket and slept all night in the grass. I thought I lost it but next morning I found it, full of dew, but functioning the best it could haha

  • great phone takes really good pics n videos. now the phone is acting up after 3-4yrs of use

  • A strong one, no cracks over the past 3 years after dropping it several times, survived even after falling into the toilet, just changed batteries, installed CM11 and is still kicking.

  • Hard resting samsung sgh-t679

  • Been a good phone for over 2 years. But it is slow

  • hi this phone is amazing!! i like it :)

  • this is the best phone i've had ever, i've dropped my phone well over 50 times, the screen is so cracked, but this thing is so durable that it refuses to die, i've owned it since its release and by far it makes other droids go to sleep. i've owned i phones and what not, but no way no how can the compare to the durability of this phone...

  • samething happen to me with my htc and I just pressed the on bottom for a few minutes and it came back alive

  • How to reset from computer

  • my samsung galaxy exhibit is turn off and i can turn on plsss hepl me

  • Unlocked version. Awesome with AT&T service, serious lag and slowdown with T-Mobile service and added programs (T-Mobile account, scanner, etc)

  • Omg!! I seriously dont know how many times i've thrown it but everytime i pick it up it's in a perfect condition. Must say very strong phone. But its worth to be banged into a dustbin.

  • Very slow and laggy phone.

  • Simply horrible. Slow, fails to perform most basic function, calling. Utterly unresponsive. Throw it in the trash.

  • I don't think I was the target consumer for this phone because I hated it almost every second I had it. It is slow, unresponsive, and runs software and hardware that was outdated even when I bought it (Fall 2012). The keyboard can be glitchy (e.g. key presses produce no on-screen letters), and apps either ran poorly or did not function at all. Memory and space are limited on this phone. The camera focus is SLOW and the photos are of medium-to-poor quality-- the camera app also forgot settings every now and then, especially with regard to image size. Often the camera would switch from the 3MP size to the 640x480 size on its own, meaning you could have a day of photos completely ruined by low resolution. The biggest culprit is the selfie mode, which automatically switches the phone to 640x480 and keeps it that way even when switching back to normal shooting mode. Imagine going out on hike, taking great high resolution photos of the area, doing a quick selfie, and then forgetting to switch the settings back once you return to the rear camera. Super disappointing. Sometimes it would take up to TWO MINUTES for my contacts list to populate, or even show up. Usually, in the time it would take for certain music apps to load, I could already be at my destination. Every now and then hitting the 'call' button resulted in no immediate action, only to have the phone try to make calls about FIVE MINUTES LATER. And if you hit the call button more than once, it would queue all the calls and try to do them in succession, so you would have to repeatedly hang up each call individually. Other times the phone just shut off randomly, or froze to the point where you had to take the battery out. Or got stuck on 'media scanner.' Or... you get the idea. I recommend this phone strictly for people with no desire to do anything but call or text. The web browser is slow and the Google Search app is buggy as heck (after searching and browsing results, the app would sometimes randomly send you back to the search bar and not allow you to return to the page or results you were looking at). A relatively young user, like college or high school student, will likely find this phone inadequate to keep up with their social media needs. Plus, the thing is not stylish at all. Just very basic with a cheap feel. I honestly have no clue how I managed to use this thing for two years without smashing it with a hammer.

  • Just an OK phone as supplied by T-Mobile. This runs on Gingerbread (i.e. ten Android versions old!) and it is loaded with junk you don't want / need. Absolutely the way to go is to root the phone and install Cyanomod 11 (based on Android KitKat 4.4). KitKat was optimized for smaller RAM sizes and it really flies compared with the stock Gingerbread ROM. One you root the phone and install Cyanomod all the preinstalled garbage from T-Mobile is wiped and you have a totally clean up-to-date Android OS that you can customize as you wish (Google Play Store is your friend, lots of good free apps). Just don't turn on the ARM compiler as the small RAM can't handle it if you have a lot of apps (but WOW, it files with ARM compiled apps). Rooting is not for nervous newbies, but it is not that hard. Read the instructions over at the XMA Developers Forum carefully (including the part about making a backup) and you will be fine. My rooted Exhibit II runs much faster than my wife's stock iPhone 4S and has loads more functionality.

  • The mega pixel does not work

  • Not exactly anything I'd recommend. It's an entry level phone, that is very dated. It seemed that no matter what I did, it always ran slow, due to the lack of memory. Pros: -Unlocked Bootloader -Can run Android 4.x -Decent camera -Can run minecraft PE alright on the stock GB ROM -Easily obtain SwapSD support (The feature I miss most) Renable USB Mass Storage through Mods Cons: -Very small size (For some this is a pro) -Ancient specs -Struggles to do minute things -Spotty Network (Mostly would be using 2g\Edge) -Manual Camera focus takes a minute to adjust then snap photo. I lost patience with this and ended up smashing it. To end it all, It's an okay starter phone for someone who wants the basics, a decent camera, music, and lightweight gaming, but if you want to have facebook, skype and various resource hogging programs running, then get something else...... and also make sure the bootloader is unlocked! because MOST companies will force crippled, resource hungry versions of android on phones and lock the bootloaders making them just as useless and slow as this samsung was.

  • Plaes help me my samsung galaxy exhibit ii 4g it can not accep 3g or 4g but can accep with 2g or gsm i'm from las p.d.r what will to do

  • I installed recently custom ROM into this mobile. My new one burned, so I was forced to return after year to this phone. It has almost three years now. It was slooow and slowing down. After some tries I installed Slim Bean 3.1.0 Ancora ROM and this mobile is flying. I'm runing Skype, Fring, Oovoo, Viber, IM+, IMO, wifi tethering, weather widget plus other aplication simmultaneously and this phone is working without lagging. When I compare it to my previous quad core phone it is practically same speed. It is Android 4.1.2 anyone annoyed by slow speed of this mobile please go for it.

  • the phone works great..in the united states...it supports 4g perfectly...in the united states...t mobile its great..in the united states..please people..understand that if there was a t mobile network in your area..wherever the heck it is..nepal...buenos aires..etc..this phone will work great...but since there isnt...it wont.....i am in peru..it supports 2g perfectly..no complaints here phone is great..but it will be greater if i was in the united states of america

  • Its pretty good actually and it doesn't freeze doesn't have network problems and I really like this phone :-)

  • It is not even up to 2G or H.If it is up to 3G then please show me the process

  • My problem is mine is not even 2G ,talkin abt the data....It is only Edge.Please help me to get 2G or 3G

  • The best phone I ever had, It's got all the features we want, It has two cameras and flash What more do we need from a phone that It has everything I've been having the phone for almost 4 yeares and nothing happened to it it never got broken or got screen scratches it's really a good phone that I wouldn't exchange it with any other new phones, I am satisfied with it.

  • My screen touch has blocked, so what can I do?

  • I had one for three years and it functions well even today as we speak. The one problem I had with it is that it's only 3 a megapixel camera. Considering I bought it new for $150, it's an amazing phone dollar for dollar. I'm actually selling it now in Europe for 60� that is about $80. Not a bad investment.

  • I bought this phone two years ago. It was decent at first but the longer I had it, the slower it became. It got to the point where making a call took 5-10 tries, with restarts. However, I will say... rooting this phone changed everything. It now runs apps and such smooth as butter.

  • In my phone 3G is not running . I am in Nepal using NT 3G data facility

  • Please you guys re confusing me ooo coz i want to buy one of this phone..

  • this fone does not support 3g or even H. the battery is also very weak it lasts for a maximum of 4hrs. Would never recommend this fone to anyone. Have regreted ever buying it.

  • Are we sure that it has Wireless N 5Ghz? I don't recall ever being able to connect to my 5Ghz equipment through any of the roms I've loaded onto it including stock. Also, this battery will last about 3 days in this phone, and comes with a larger back cover for the added depth the battery uses.

  • You can get the Digitizer from ( thats the touch screen) from

  • Cannot handle multiple apps and since android apps always automatically restart it slows down the phone considerably. Ramon

  • salam to all viewers ,i am frm pakistan i have bought this fone.it is so good but now its touch panel has been damaged due to my ngligency. plz any one help me that from where i can bought its touch panel.plz plz plz plz

  • this phones 3G and 4G won't work outside america, their network is set up differently.

  • Do not get this phone, it's slow, very very slow and later on has very bad issues, mine was almost bricked not once, not twice but 4 times in the last 24 hours. It will randomly be in a bootloop and if it handles too many apps at once, it won't just close some, it will restart the entire phone. After it freezes it also usually restarts. I love android and the first few months with this phone were awesome, but I'm moving on, and i need to.

  • did the manufactures used this phone before taken to market? because if u connect the internet u can't make calls with it, freezes and no sound when playing music and no 3g or hspa too.

  • Dail *2767*3855# to format and choose new language

  • The Samsung Exhibit II 4G is a good phone. Its speed is very good and the service is acceptable. It has some pretty interesting features.

  • Do not buy this phone. It is the slowest phone you can get in your life. I click on text and takes 6-7 seconds to open and type. Listen to me. Slowest phone ever..

  • Hi all, I show this mobile is very good need to reduse price due to chaines is very low price same futures. Thanks & think about it. Rajesh Kumar.

  • This phone actually uses regular sim cards, not mini sim.

  • we have 3g for now.

  • Two reasons:- 1. you have a locked phone. The GSM bands are sufficient for 3G & 4G. 2. Is 3G and 4G available in Ghana?

  • its for use within the t-mobile network on usa

  • the phone doesnt support 4G network not even 3G here in ghana. what a hell is this problem?

  • this fone really sucks, it doesnt nt browze 3g or 4g. freezes more often. jux a bomb here in ghana.neva recomend to a friend

  • I accidentally got the German language on my phone. Have read the manual back and forth and have been unable to do it, since everything is in German. Can anybody help?

  • overall performance is good but how to get on to 3g network ?plz cn anyone answer..I stay in india and all towers in my city supports 3g..

  • It's probably because the 3G frequency of your mobile network doesn't match the phone's 3G frequency.

  • I'm facing issues with 3G connectivity in Russia - has anyone fixed it? is it possible or it's hardware bug?

  • how can i use the 3g in this phone cause it only works on edge which is very slow ..... it totaly bored me and am starting to hating my phone

  • all in all i hate this phone! some of you said that the problem is network towers but why other phone work on 3g with this towels. the issue is that the provider of this phone could fix this common problem of 3g

  • Exellent phone,i live in hollywood,florida,speed test: 6 Mb download and 2.2 Mb upload,skype work with both cameras ,front and rear,i used a lot with my childrens in Colombia,make sure has a good signal, some areas is not good signal and speed and the videocalls drops,this phone is not real 4G is hdpa+ is 3.9G,but is good speed network,the real frecuency work is 850mhz and 1900mhz, or aws 1700/2100 this is only used fot t-mobile,thanks

  • Me too.......its sucks.....n thats 4g its jst a crap......i hate my phone

  • Me too.......its sucks.....n thats 4g its jst a crap......i hate my phone

  • if i were you I would have bought the lg op from tmobile it is $200 bucks. Well, if you already got this phone you MUST root it and delete the unwanted apps. After that you will be fine. But otherwise, it is not worth it .

  • Is it really that bad? I have a T-mobile Prism but it wont turn on anymore. My dad just ordered this phone for me. Is it really that bad and will I regret buying it?

  • This is the worst phone i've ever seen, it freezes a lot, go off on its own, starts vibration without a call coming in nor anybody touching it. Infact the phone is a disappointment, i regreted buying this phone from Tmobile.

  • phone have 3g & 3.5g signal capability(put this code to check & select supported networks *#*#2263#*#*) Due to unknown reason this phone cannot get 3g & 3.5g signal.

  • I use this phone. I'm in Nigeria, & use airtel, but can't get 3G or 4G network (thr is 3G & 4G) hw do I go about this & get 3G showin on my phone?

  • tea bag ,,, i believe the reason is the towers in ur area may or may not be 3g towers. there must be 3g/4g service on towers in your area for you to be able to recieve it.

  • Hi emepher, I have the same phone, I just checked CyanogenMod 10 and the Exhibit II 4G is not on the list. Can you please tell me which one you did pick? Thanks, Ranco

  • I use this phone but i donot get a 3g network...how would i get the 3g network

  • this phone is really good. i think its one of the best 4g without lte . there is nothing it won't do pretty much. reception is perfect and when streaming its really clear and good.

  • am also using this phone but cant find a radio

  • i am using this with 3gi without trouble. what is problem with your phone. i mean what is the err you getting?

  • hello, im also using this phone too.. Dialog ? Is there anyway to connect through 3g ?

  • The specs actually aren't all that bad. The camera is the one real weak point - it is deecnt, but not what I'd call good. Screen is pretty good. I just upgraded to CyanogenMod 10, which runs great. With a custom kernel the phone overclocks like crazy. I am running at 1.5ghz stable. Haven't tried faster but others run even higher OCs. Good phone considering I only paid $100 (like-new used), and now pay $40/month for unlimited everything (SimpleMobile, using T-Mobile network). For somebody like me who is value-minded and has some tech ability, this is a great phone. Of course, if I were paying $80+/month on contract I'd get something bigger/better/faster, and the stock Gingerbread is a bit lacking.

  • contact u service provider for separate internet n mms vpn settings

  • i cant send or recieve MMS .. Any reason why?

  • u have to turn it ON before u can see other than that u have to call ur network company.without that it will only as "edge"

  • I,m uesing samsung exhibit 4g in ghana but the 4g and 3g is not working pls help me and we have the 4g n 3g in ghana

  • bitting a phone to fix a software glitch? thats a new one me. but seriously tho, i get pissed off with slow software and connectivity all the time and trust me bitting it wont fix anything

  • I am using this mobile in Saudi arabia but mot supporting 3G network so what should i do?

  • worst phone every I have used I had LG ms695 metropcs and this phone is even worst then LG. It has very slow responding time. Lets say you tap to maps you need to wait at least 6-7 seconds to use app. I got pissed of and bite the phone and its broken.

  • Does not get on 3G network in India. I have tried it as I use the same phone.

  • Cheepest unlock site, sim unlock.

  • I m using this phone in sri lanka... This only working gprs.. not work 3g and wcdma

  • i m using this phone in pakistan its amazing man...i love it...

  • Can I use this phone with Mobilicity in Canada?

  • I am in Canada. Will this phone work in Canada with Mobilicity?

  • can i use this phone in Malaysia? do i need to change to t-mobile or keep on using the local telecommunication system such as celcom, maxis or digi?

  • This phone doesn't support the 3G in Band I (2100) hence it won't be able to connect to 3G network in India and in most places in Europe.

  • it can not be locked to 3g for 2100 band(only 2g), i am in tanzania, east africa...anything i can do?

  • Its 4g im on it now

  • only 1700 and 1900 mhz band is supported for 3g, 2100 is not supported.

  • I use this phone in the SF bay area an 4g is avalable in 90% of the cities. I recommend it. For the price speed and coverage is good

  • hey frds i want this phone so tell me how can i do plzzz tell me.

  • I cant even get 3g on my phone. is there something i should turn on to get this?

  • i get 5 gigs of 4g, then unlimited at 3g

  • Thats interesting, t mobile says it skips 3G. That's why I am confused. I went to the store and called on the phone. The store said 2g is very slow. That is scary,

  • it will go to 3g if you are not in 4g range. other than that they even throttle you down while in 4g and not even close to limit. so its still 3g to me

  • How are you using 3G with tmobile, they say it goes to 2g on the prepaid plan after hitting 4g maximum.

  • From what tmobile told me, this phone is 4g until you reach the limit you pay for then it goes to 2g, not 3G. No one can tell me why? Can I unlock this phone and use on AT&T prepaid plan. 3G unlimited data?

  • yes u can unlock it, no matter the carrier

  • I mainly bought this phone because it has 4G. It works great and have not gotten any issues.

  • It works on 1700 and 2100 Bands so it should work in India. I am using it on US Tmobile and ATT on 3G speeds (HSPA+ sometimes).

  • Will the Samsung Exhibit II 4G work in South Africa? If it is a T-Mobile can I unlock it?

  • Dude, M already using this cell in INDIA, works like a charm on GSM network. But never tested on 3G network or tried to use 3G. as 3G is still costly while u can use ur laptop's internet free through pairing lappy and ur cell VIA WI-FI :)

  • The Samsung Exhibit II 4G no longer exists. Well, actually it does but since it was having TONS of problems, Samsung decided to do this: The phone will be known as the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit from now on. It seems that the Android version they had installed on the original phone was incompatible with the phones software.

  • It will probably only work on Edge using GSM on 1900Mhz in India unless they have WCDMA on 1700 for "4G" as T-Mobile calls it. It won't work on 3G at all in the Phoenix, Arizona area since it doesn't do HSPA or HSPA+.

  • That's easy for you to say buy the Samsung Galaxy W but it's only available in Europe!

  • The review is not accurate at all. They say the phone gets 3G and has a 2100 Mhz band but that's not true. T-Mobile has no 4G service in the Phoenix area and the phone can't get 3G so it useless except on slow Edge or wi-fi.

  • You mentioned that Exhibit II works in India. Do you mean you can use it on 3G network or only for GSM, GPRS etc. Has it been used (or tested)? I am having an Exhibit II and want to know if it will work on 3G network in India. Thanks in advance for info.

  • I believe that the review of the Samsung Exhibit II 4G given here is spot on. Thank you!

  • i dont hve this Samsung Exhibit II 4G but i do hve galaxy W i knw they look the same but W is much batter then this Samsung Exhibit II 4G..soo i say buy samsung galaxy W

  • Just erase some or all app it will work like new. the app slow the phone down

  • I just got an update to 2.3.6 & they changed the name to the Galaxy Exhibit It also has a new default ics theme

  • For those who want to update EXHIBIT II to 2.3.6 Recommeded OS for smooth operation is, WINDOWS VISTA and OR WINDOWS 7 Step -1, Download SGH T679 usb driver fro below link, Step-2 Download Latest Version of KIES Step-3 Now after install both just reboot your system once Step- 4, Go to setting -> Application -> Developement -> USB debugging should be UN-CHECKED (Not Enable) Step-5 Now connect your USB cable to phone to pc, open KIES software as well Step- 6, After sometime when your phone will get connected with phone, KIES will automatically promt to UPGRADE to 2.3.6, NOTE: Make sure you have Good Internet connectivity without restricted sites

  • The ExhibitII is not that bad, but I must agree that there is tons of bloatware. Root the phone and it will fly with lightning speed and for the $ it is not a bad phone. Rooting is a must, though because of the amount of RAM and ROM built into the phone.

  • I had the same issue intermittently and I just installed another photo app and problem was solved. I have no idea what became corrupted, but I downloaded FishBucket and I'm able to send/receive images once again.

  • I am an Android fanatic and this is by far the best android phone I've ever owned. It may not have a huge screen or a dual-core processor, but it's still a high quality product especially in this price range. The only thing I've found it to lack is the amount of RAM available at any given time. High demanding games or applications occasionally cause it to reboot, still a great phone though.

  • US T-Mobile user. Unable to send/receive MMS. Do not want to turn on Packet Data. Suggestions?

  • does the gps talk?

  • Yes it will work in Africa - Ghana but you have to unlock it first if you got it from ATT or T-mobile.

  • This phone is piece of sh*t. Everything is kinda there, but nothing works as it should. Mine is from T-mobile, bloated with T-mobile software. I rooted the phone and removed most of the T-mobile software. Still, phone constantly hangs using Skype video calls or using ooVoo for video calls. It is sloooooow any annoying to use. I have to constantly reboot the phone which is most of the time by removing the battery since phone doesn't want to turn off. I don't have a bad copy it is what you get for the money you pay.

  • This how phone makers and are supposed to make phones, with no ugly logos or carrier branding on the front

  • Plug your phone to a PC (or Mac) and look for your phone in "MyComputer/Computer" usually "Drive (E:),(F:),(G:)" or download "Astro file manager" from the Android/Play Market.

  • Connect it to PC with the included USB cable. After Windows recognizes it (may take a few minutes the first time) you'll see two new drives appear in Windows Explorer. The first one will have your pictures in DCIM folder.

  • Yes Sure, Please referring to Androit Applications Store - You Can download free for using your wishes. Thanks,

  • Can somebody confirm me that it can support skype video chatting !!, the OS 2.3.5, front camera and processor speed all supports this claim, but I need a positive confirmation... pls...

  • Best budget smartphone ever came across .. luckily i own one ..

  • hi everyone, somebody tell me please is this phone only for US market or for europe too? thank's.

  • Nope, it's standard 3.7 RGB LCD. The ORIGINAL Exhibit (not the II) used a 3.5 pentile AMOLED screen though.

  • Try using the volume rocker to zoom-in/out while you're using the camera.

  • im ready to take a pic...the mountians are too far away to see on my screen..i want to zoom in on the mountians before i take the pic..why is there not an option to do that?

  • there is no zoom while taking pictures, but you can zoom in once viewing the photo

  • Yes,3g works in india I dont know about fm radio Lgs optimus black is an great sustitute of this phone and is avaailable for only 19000 inr and approx 365 dollars

  • You must reduce the resolution of pic capture in options provided then zoom will work

  • I am using this phone for last 2 weeks, but seems there is not zoom (digital zoom) while taking the photos, or i have to do some setting ? any one facing the same problem.

  • This Phone acutally has 4GB ROM not 1GB as stated above

  • How to Root the phone ? any harm in doing so? There are just too many T-mobile apps which are of no use !

  • Root your phone and remove the useless crap T-Mobile put. Also, remove CIQ, if you don't want T-mobile knowing your whereabouts.

  • The reason you cant find the other GB is that the smartphone only utilizes 3 GB and the other GB is used strictly for the filesystem (like bios) with remainder space incase a new update comes out. Mike

  • Guys, pls help me with some info. 1. I want to buy this phone from US and use it in India. Will it work in Indian 3G network? Is it a wise decision? 2. Does this phone have FM radio. Its not mentioned in the review. 3. The unlocked version is too costly on Ebay. Plan to get the locked version and buy the unlock code. Would u recommend against this? 4. Y I want this phone? 1Ghz, 3.7 HVGA, Front cam. Is there an alternative to this phone in India, any suggestions? Thanks.

  • I just bought this phone 12-16-2011 and I really love the phone but my biggest problem is the battery it's always draining to fast even if i'm not on it.

  • I got this phone, good one!! T-mobile site says it has 4GB of ROM (i.e. Internal storage ?), but if I check in task manager, it shows - 1 GB for System Storage and 2 GB for USB Storage !.. where is the balance 1 GB :( Thanks in advance !!

  • dude! this phone has frequency compatibility of BAND I (1700MHz/2100Mhz) so it will work with 3G in Europe and Other ASIAN country. u can check specification please. Only guys from Europe and ASIA need to do manual setting for using GPRS for 2G/EDGE/3G as automatic setting of LOCAL SERVICE provider will show an error because they dont have addded setting into the server as this phone it only US version. DUDE! don't miss guide anyone!

  • Is "PENTILE matrix" used on this phone's display? (fake forced pixel count/arrangement that makes browsing small text not as readable as true "RGB" ie. blocky blurry indistinguishable text when zoomed out This is a deal breaker if you want to browse for extended time

  • For those of you looking to use this phone outside the USA, the voice features should work since this phone supports all 4 common GSM bands, but the data features (3G/4G/UMTS) will likely NOT work because UMTS Band I (2100 Mhz) which is the most common band used in Europe and Asia is not supported by this phone.

  • yes it will work but you have to unlock if its not unlocked already. unlock it in CS or call t-mobile customer service and tell them to unlock it because you want to use it in CS.

  • no radio i jst got it 4 $200

  • when will this mobile come to INDIA,shall i use this mobile with anynetwork providers in INDIA,how much will be this mobile in INDIA,i need reply guys,would u guys?

  • Hey man i'm from costa rica too, if i'll buy this phone from amazon, will it work with mi chip here in C.R? dosn't matter if it's Prepaid T-Mobile?

  • If purchased in US, can this phone be used in India. Thanks in advance.

  • Good phone ,I bought it as a spare phone...u will like it

  • need to know if the Samsung Exhibit ii 4G works in Costa Rica with the bands 2G: GSM 850 and 3G: HSDPA 850, without using an unlock code or something ... Thanks for your help

  • hey you can go go to the phils and we can unlock any phones here so definitely you'll be able to sue the phone wherever you are or whatever sim/provider you will use

  • does this phone work in india?

  • if brought in US for $199.can this be unlocked and used with local service providers in India? pls reply

  • Get the original Galaxy W which this phone was based on instead. It has better specs; a 1.4GHz Processor, 4GB internal storage, and a 5 megapixel camera that records in 720p HD.

  • I intend to buy this mobile but I would like to know its battery timing. Can anyone please tell me about it. I will be very thankful

  • I plan on getting one of these and unlocking it also.I have contacted cellunlocker.net they are able do this.

  • (Bell Canada - Samsung Galaxy W - AKA SGH-T649M) This phone is extremely awesome! It is packed with options. This has got to be the best value smart phone available from Bell. Only cost me $40. IMO it is slimmer and more powerful than my wife's iPhone 4.

  • I just bought this phone ... in the specifications it lists having FM radio but I can't figure out how to use it. Has anyone used it and do you know how to get to it?

  • if brought in US for $199.can this be unlocked and used with local service providers in India? pls reply

  • samsung is very banded

  • hi. no. there is no micro sd nor headset. only the device - wall charger - usb cable- activation kit (sim card and t-mobile stuff) i bought it from walmart $199.98

  • Can this phone be used with a European sim card in Europe?

  • i wish samsung launches this phone in India as well :(

  • No. There is no micro SD included. Btw, the max. video capture resolution is 640x480. For some reason, that's not listed in the specs.

  • Anybody know what gel case goes with this phone? Is there a screen protector for it? Is it precise to the Galaxy W for these accessories?

  • samsung u cheater.u cheat all of middle earn people all over the world.first u show dream that u give this phone only£150.i try hard and sole and last save this amount.now u call for £250.why u break ours dream.samsung u know how to profit,but u don't how is hard to earn money such like bangladesh.ple samsung dont show dream.because u don't know what is anguish pain if a sweet dream is devastate.

  • Does it come with a preinstalled microSD card in it in the T-mobile box in walmart ?

  • So I Got a New plan with t-mobile and i didn't want to spend a lot of money so t-mobile had this phone for $29.99 so i said let me get this phone. To make a long story short I have Had the phone for 2 days now and I'm testing the battery and all in all the phone is full of features with android and yet the battery still keeps on going. I started using the phone at 6:00 and it is now 9:43pm, with a full days use of listening to music, using the web, WiFi, tethering to my g slate and the brightness on, i still have 30% battery left with out charging at all what so ever. hands down this is the best android phone in terms of battery life.

  • the design somehow similar to galaxy w. only the buttons are different.

  • I bought this today at walmart under prepaid boxing,nice phone for $200...my recommendation is good for back up phone.

  • Bought this today from WalMart for $199 and for $30 monthly plan (prepaid). for $30 we get 100 mints talk time and 5GB data for 4g speed. Phone looks awesome.

  • it is good mobile.i bought it.

  • What were the old prices? And what are the new ones?

  • yeah why is there a new price, did they change their mind or what?

  • i'm not happy...u hv increased price...for this mobile

  • u know that this is galaxy w, right? but with smaller camera...

  • Really nice for the price, comes with latest version of gingerbread, everything runs smooth, no problems with any downloads or installed software. Good value phone, no complaints.

  • Hope this phone makes it to the Philippines! Really nice features.

  • mean of t-mobile dear ????

  • whats mean of t-mobile it will work at india or not???

  • I could not get a cleat answer by T-mobile tech support regarding the UMTS bands of this phone, its listed with the same frequencies as ATT phone which is very odd, but if it does not have Band I 2100mhz is no use in Europe. Btw I have it in my hands now and comes with 2.3.5/512mb ram/1gb internal memory. Display looks like AMOLED.

  • Its 3G includes 850 and 1900, so it works on AT&T too, if unlocked.
