  • Please help me i want to unlock my network samsung galaxy G318

  • my galaxy v plus supports otg, you should format the flashdisk into FAT32 only

  • It does work with the play store. Maybe you have to clear the cache. if you want to do this just power off the device and press the power key,home button and volume up to clear cache via the menu shown. This worked for me so hopefully it can work for you too.

  • I need help i have a problem with my wifi its automaticaly turning off when im playing games

  • My phone can't use SD Card

  • i cant find the continues shot from the camera settings

  • i cant find the continues shot from the camera settings

  • my phone autometicly restart then i m on call............someone give me reason plzzz.....

  • That would be due to the 512 Mb RAM.. :)

  • It's okay.. Better after rooting, because then you can take pictures to the SD-card, and change the default location for installing apps to SD-card.. A little low on ram, so disabling animations in the developer settings helps a lot.. It also helps to modify the dpi on the screen, have it at 200DPi, instead of 240DPi, makes Skype usable for sending messages, otherwise the keyboard takes up too much space.

  • i've used this phone around the 2years,, seems like ok.. no issues.. =)

  • phone hang

  • If anyone who are probably thinking to buy this phone for yourselves or other people, don't! I don't recommend anyone to buy this phone. It gets laggy if you just download about two or three apps. It's pretty shocking for a 2015 phone to be this slow and laggy.

  • admin why my samsung galaxy v is not functioning well the mobile data?

  • You need to download using the APK form of COC or from a page named Mobilegenie. Hope that helps casue I use it too.

  • yes

  • Yes

  • Can we use the 3G on the second SIM slot?

  • Very very slow there shit

  • Can someone tell me how to get the front camera on this please ?

  • It is 3G supporter?

  • can i play bomb beach on samsung galaxy v plus with out log

  • i cant insert my sim to the cellphone it said unknown

  • 4 gb with os, free 1 gb

  • Got my specifications are not according to what you write on the top above and the internal memory nothing 4Gb

  • search on youtube :)

  • The battery easily drains. You have to set it to Ultra Power Saving Mode so battery standby time will last. That mean you have a simple home screen and limited access to a number of applications. It sucks!

  • Good quality

  • Pros: Affordable. MP3 quality is good. Display is quite OK. Cons: Have to restart every day to avoid network/data communication (some message from fb, whatsapp will lag in receiving time or not receive at all). Cannot stand multiple job/will crash/hang if too much of use. Not suitable for heavy use. Camera is not good.

  • Can this phone transfer app to microsd card ?

  • Dont download at playsyore . Download coc from google

  • it better buy zte blade q lux

  • First, make sure your device have plenty of space to download the game, not just space to download but also for the game to do updates. Try go through all the folders in My Files and deletes all the unnecessary folders or files, hopefully it will also clear some bugs. Before downloading, try clears all ceche, ram and back ground running apps. Make sure you have a good online network speed to download and play the game, even Google Play won't let some apps to be download if the online network speed is slow or incapable to do the job.

  • The phone is okay for its price,i just don't like the vga front camera and the back and front camera vga video quality.it lags but its cheap,so why fuss? Haha.i LOVE the back camera photo quality.very beautiful for 3Mp.

  • Playstore says device not compatible with the coc version . . . . What needs to be updated to download coc? Pls help!

  • Hey,?! Does this have front camera? And can I play growtopia and NBA, 2k14 here? Answer pls

  • Hold the Power button and the Home button together at the same time until there be a sound and a flash from the phone. The screen shot will be safe in My Files.

  • how to screen shots in this device samsung galaxy V ???

  • Does it support otg?

  • I don't know if you can do that?

  • Can i transfer app to sd card ?

  • Yes

  • Of course it's better than ace plus. If you like surfing the Internet and don't want to suffer from lagging or buffering, I advice you to make a subscription to a no less than 1 mbps internet speed with your telco.

  • Is Clash of clans works in Samsung Galaxy V Plus?

  • Will it better than Ace Plus?

  • Buy without hesitate, value for money, it has everything a smartphone should be, just names it and it has it, if you don't mind with the camera then galaxy v plus is a must have in your collection, consider it as a smartphone at a bargain price!!

  • Format your SD card with the phone, afterwards you transfer everything on the phone to your SD card.

  • 1. Share the video to your note pad or gmail or in any other app. 2. From there on you can copy the URL and paste it to anywhere that can be paste.

  • What 3D, I even play Colonies vs Empire with it and feel like I'm playing it on a laptop only the screen is too small.

  • Yes it can do all that you said without problem but honestly you would not want to post your pictures taken from the phone camera, it's just 3 mp and your selfie will be on vga.

  • Not bad, actually it's a very good smartphone if you don't care much about using the camera. It can do most of a smartphone should do, it looks stylish and easy to carry around. The battery can last for 12 hours for normal user and 6 hours for hard gamer.

  • if smartphone dont have gpu it wil be lag cannot play 3d games trus me

  • copy and paste

  • yes you can but first you need to make sure you have enough space to download the game.

  • v plus is just the same as galaxy v

  • Can i know where is the front camera located? I can't see any camera from front.

  • Are you sure cant play coc?

  • Are you sure cant play coc?

  • NO!

  • Is this phone good for social media app like Facebook , Twitter , Whatsapp , Instagram , ebay and so on . and keeping picture and watching video .

  • If I open Facebook in this Samsung Galaxy V, it is laggy or smooth?

  • It's very nice phone

  • This is good budget android smart phone. Main camera quality is okay. But it has front VGA Camera, That not good for selfie lovers. Can manage battery power for the whole day.

  • No GPU... think again

  • its a very nice phone i had gotnit new and nown i love theat phone

  • no GPU

  • its very good since its my first phone

  • Nice phone for Money, but do not compare with expensive galaxys! Have not 4G or amoled screen.. and just 512mb memory..

  • Awesome for my second phone.

  • Nice phone

  • Don't be surprised by the low specs. It price around $65 to $70 in Malaysia. A budget backup phone for users who have a lot to do.

  • plse add what is price of products like older vesrion

  • vodafone hous 4g

  • I think it is alright for me i think

  • no auto focus??

  • Superb phone,,,,,,, buy it and enjoy:::::::

  • dnot purchase this mobile nt havng 1 gb ram and also less baterry

  • You ask why? To make it cheaper! I don't understand why is everyone here complaining about the specs, it is good enough considering the price tag

  • why the hell in 2015 make such super low range phone with 500 RAM and dual core ??????

  • dnot purchase these mobile nt havng more features

  • Acer liquid z220 is better choice than this..IF! you don't mind the brand

  • I dont like this phone because it hasn't GPU.

  • when will samsung develop aaccording to the market requirements as all of them need with latest versions good hardware when they will understand plz let me know

  • well this device is made only for those ones looking for calls and sms but having really basic things...dont u think..if u are power house ..what are u doing here to begin with...if u are here is because u can not afford what u want and u look for low prize high end ..come on guys look for real smartphones..these old ones are for grammies

  • Asus ZenFone c is way better than galaxy v plus..and cost about the same price..only Samsung fanboy will get this phone

  • good ph9one

  • Boring specs! !!!!

  • Stop ranting around guys. Gsmarena just copy and paste the same specs from the previous Galaxy V. They haven't updated it yet. This phone just appear here a couple days ago. There is no details from Samsung regarding this phone yet. The REAL specs will be updated soon!

  • good enough for call & text phone...

  • what is this rubbish not 1gig ram most are now, and not even 2000battery passae

  • Samsung already released these type of specification phones more than what users need (In my opinion). So again why Samsung

  • well Samsung is going on old age. what is the use of these phones??? now the game changed and people started using at least 1 GB RAM on android phones.

  • Pretty good. Not bad though you all should know that this phone is not target towards the adult market. This phone target market are parents with young children. It a way to teach children on how to use android phone for the first time so they keep it simple and user friendly. First timer don't need flashy features that they themselves won't even understand. I would buy this for my 8 years old kids. Its cheap so if they loses it I won't have to freak out and get worried too much.

  • 512 MB RAM lolololol passae

  • Another thing VGA camera description says and where in the front is or who upload the image did not know that cell wear?

  • What the hell Samsung is doing??? Then Iphone Is too better then samsung Producing Shit like this, Apple don't make low end phone that user can get disapoint only seeing specifications, buy used phones but never low end phone

  • 4 GB internal, 512 MB RAM (and we all know that , isn't exactly 512 , but a way lower) ! Would be okay, if it was 2013 , but today is 2015. You are learning nothing, Shamesung ! Better go, kill yourself !

  • i can't buy this type of mobile in this era

  • why go up then come back down
