Samsung Galaxy Prevail 2 - User Reviews

  • I used to own one of these, and am in fact getting a new one soon, but this phone is one of the most indestructible phones you can buy. Last one fell 20 feet off of my balcony onto concrete and the screen did not break.

  • I have had this phone for a while and it is awesome

  • I would suggest Walkman... its not on playstore, but its really good! :) And if you dont like that one, you can search "default music" in the playstore. :)

  • i Think this is one of the best Samsung Galaxy of all my mother has one of it and it has no preoblems yet so i recommend to buy one of this one if u like the Galaxies !

  • any other music players other than play music?

  • I don't see how it could be much simpler to set up. I think this user might be new to smart phones. If you want a simple phone, there are other options. For a smart phone you don't get much simpler than Android or iOS (which is imprisoned and stuck with all kinds of arbitrary Apple limitations... and you pay a huge premium for the style factor only. Won't get near a new iOS phone for the price of this unit.)

  • Picked it up for around 85$ at Radio Shack to replace my Galaxy Rush which I paid more for a year ago. Nice little upgrade at a great price. No problems so far with my unit. I have a 10inch nvidia tegra quad core ASUS MemoPad Smart for power non-phone use so I can't complain.

  • Can I use it without activating it?

  • Too slow. Speaker not even loud. Maybe for a teen.

  • I was with Verizon for ten yes. I switched to boost because I could make calls deep in the woods were I couldn't even get a dial tone on my verizon smartphone

  • Its hard to set up

  • It is a Sprint company and it doesn't get as much coverage as Verizon or AT&T.

  • Very good phone

  • lumia 520

  • Its the best phone ever. Boost mobile is the phones supporter not virgin mobile. The phone is amazing.

  • Samsung is Korean not Japanese..

  • I have the Samsung Galaxy Ring through virgin mobile?? Why is this phone so slow and gets no coverage?? Is it the phone or virgin mobile?? That's my only complaint with this phone. Thx.

  • obviously u can... its a smartphone dude..!!;-)

  • have had my phone 12 weeks and its locked up!!!! tried everything

  • prevail 2 or lumia 520?

  • hi frndz, i m planing to buy this set and i m cnfuse bcz this is my first experiece.can we use fb,twitter and other apps without any issue?plzz reply

  • obviously it will lag as ram is given only 512mb. Better than that take s duos as u said it has better ram if 768mb..!!

  • CDMA = no chip/ no SIM card in this phone. Not sure if you can use another network or not.

  • does it lag or hang plsss tell fast!!which phone to buy Samsung Galaxy Prevail 2 or Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562

  • I bought one in the USA , they informed me that I could unlocked without problem.. but now it seems it has no chip.. it is posible to have no chip? where is the chip located??

  • What the heck is EV_DO??

  • EV-DO is used in Japan, since this is a Japan only phone it only makes sense to leave out GPRS/3G/LTE to save money/battery live

  • what is gprs ? it sounds important

  • really u can understand me but ,,,really this is not mobile any more . howcome in this moment buy mobile without gprs there is no country no have internet :s

  • really wtf no gprs

  • Samsung company will not create phone which is useless, they have purpose in every phone they make, bro money and effort in every phone keep it in mind, if you dont like just buy s4, s3 or note 2 and you can say wow this is the fon i like.

  • how about the video? mp4 or 3gpp

  • about 150-200 usd - nice cheap phone with functions...

  • then why dont you buy this phone yourself.....

  • no edge no gprs wtf !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • if it's samusung, then it's good? WTF?

  • galaxy s plus with jelly bean!

  • If it is from samsung , sure be good, guys buy it and try.

  • i m sry mr troll nobody asked u what should u call it.

  • Imppressive this is affordable

  • WAKE Up Samsung please.

  • I never use this phone

  • this company will never stop with it's galaxy range....

  • specs is similar to galaxy w (i8150)

  • Yes you can!!! There's no GPRS or EDGE or HSPA or what. But this supports EV-DO, which is pretty fast too.

  • Coco

  • you think this phone is good or galaxy young s6310?

  • That is OK for me because of 13 Mpc camera. Thanks

  • This is one of our newest Phone in Boost. get it with the Shrinkage Plan!

  • samsung is the best

  • this is a refurbished samsung galaxy w which was released in 2011..

  • I agree on you on this one, I am actually waiting for GALAXY FAIL!

  • you are absolutely right...

  • Maybe it should be called , galaxy preFAIL

  • Samsung are very monotonous in their designs thus making them their own competitors. What's special in this phone that will make you move from another Samsung phone. I would instead insist go for some previously launched phones of Sony like Xperia Sola or Go that can give you up to Jelly Bean update and give more value in the design.

  • samsung is the best

  • true

  • This is just a budget phone, what do you expect?

  • if it ll be a gsm phone it ll better. its a worst phone... hmmm for audio and video, its good device!!!
