Samsung R720 Admire - User Reviews

  • I had 2 of these a black one and a red one. Lol i remember using this phone in 6th grade and was 14 years old lol. I didnt care much about how fast the phone is. Since in those times. Not everyone gave a BOOP lol. But now its all about speed, power, screen type, screen size, battery, USB C lol, 1080p and up, no bezels and omg so much more.

  • Iam looking for a big screen phone, but not those fancy expensive ones, this one said it had a 3.5 touch. Is it 3.5 long? And I do like my font large. Any suggestions? Oh can I use this phone on Verizon prepaid? Thank you Brenda

  • I just need the battery it looks good

  • Well... I got mine on ebay for 12 dollars! All functions work fine. I have yet to figure if, or how this phone can be unlocked to a carrier other then metro PCS! However; You can use wifi to a home router and a free phone application to make calls for nothing - and also browse the web etc... .. So, if anybody knows how to unlock - please post! As to the battery issue - get a high capacity battery on ebay - I got mine for $6.00... ..

  • This is a great phone, the battery really is very good. You just need to know how to adjust the settings, an power usage. You can also download, a batter app, for free. That will take care of almost everything that hogs power, that most people don't know how to adjust, in the settings. An for the price, the camera is great. An were from 3.2, to 4.0 mega pixels. Iv had this phone for almost 2 years know, an have never had one problem! It can take a beating, it has a sturdy screen, that doesn't crack easily. Although to be safe i still recommend, a case protector. Iv had the same protector on mine, since day one, an i have dropped it a lot, but never with any problems! An i don't know what others on here are talking about, with their phones freezing up, or not connecting with other devices, such as Blue Tooth, iv never had any of those problems!!! Basically it's a great phone for the price. It does what almost all other smart phones do, its easy to use. As long as you, just take a few minutes too read, about the product you bought! An even if you don't do much of that, it's still easy, an simple to work, an figure out. Its not to fancy, but not just plain old basic either, it's a good smartphone, for a good price! An that's the plan old simple truth, just like this phone. It's smart an works well, but it's also, plan and simple, tough, an reliable! To work it properly, an get the most out of your purchase. Just take a few to read up, or experiment, your not gonna hurt it. I could, an have been asked many times if i wanted to upgrade cheaply, but haven't had one reason to do so. IT'S A GOOD SIMPLE SMART PHONE, AT A GOOD PRICE, PLAN AND SIMPLE PEOPLE!!!!!! If anyone has a question, that i can answer, ill be more than happy to try:)!!!

  • This phone was literally like a Nokia to me. No matter if I drop or throw the phone, the screen never shattered. That is until I took it apart and tried to at least crack the screen just a bit (with a hammer).

  • This is not agood phone i was trying to connect with my computer and itsnot.

  • It's really a budget Smartphone. The voice call quality is horrible right out of the box. It's faint and unclear. Internet is quite slow. And there is a lot of bloatware installed, which I wish I could remove. The battery life is really short, sometime it doesn't even last a whole day. The camera seems to draw a lot of battery power for some reason, more so than internet use. It's hard to hold onto and write texts, once it slipped out of my hard, and the screen shattered(this taught me how delicate Smartphones are.) I bought a screen laminate to keep all the screen shards in place, and I was able to use it for more than a year, but it becomes hard to use the "Swipe" method to text. I highly recommend buying those ugly rubber outer casings, because it will greatly reduce the likely hood of the screen shattering badly.

  • can you put sim card on it?? can you text there?? how? plss teach mee plsss

  • How do you dismantle this Media Scanner 'nonsense', permanently?

  • great cell ready the instructions for better use.

  • When I get a call and answer they can not hear me,but I have the phone like any other phone is it bad signal or what.

  • how about the camera

  • This is the alex person i registered nd this is my user name any questions on this phone i will try to answer

  • Pretty little phone. I now have an s II nd im writing about my old admire. This phone is perfect for those who want to learn smartphones or need a smatphone just for communication nd nothing fancy or for those who want the droid experiance but cant afford the more expensive ones. Also dont let people fool you the bettery life works very well if you go to settings nd set the phone up right nd if u dont this phones battery life is still better then others like the merge so it aont rock bottom guys. And finaly dont be fooled by what they say on the camera the camera ia better then the other phones of its price range. 8.6 is my rating for this phone ot is really good nd gets the job done only reason i dont give higher rating is because it is outdated but it is really good ;)
