galaxy-star-off

A new week, a new Samsung phone. The Korean company which is obsessed with releasing new phones as quickly as possible has announced yet another combo of Android smartphones, this time the Galaxy Star and Pocket Neo. Both Galaxy Star and Galaxy Neo Pocket look identical in design and most of the specs. Its strange that how two phone (from same vendor) can be so similar.

The only difference – that we could spot – is that Galaxy Star comes with 1 Ghz processor, while Pocket Neo trades with 800 Mhz processor.

Both the phones come with optional dual-SIM feature.

Battery with both Galaxy Star and Pocket Neo stands at 1200mAh, which is too low for a smartphone – especially if its from Samsung.

Here are the specs of the phone:

  • Dear author! it will take another 100 years to see 800 Ghz processor phone;P kindly correct the typo in the 2nd pera and also clarify is it 800 Mhz or 850 Mhz since you wrote 850 in pocket Neo speces!

  • 3 inch is too Tiny for a touch screen. samsung should give better specs (at least Dual core) at lower prices (10 – 15k) if they wan’t to compete in the low price market as Qmobile and huawei are better alternatives.
