Had this for nearly 2 years before upgrading to lumia 532 and this was just terrible! bad pictures, bad call quality the only half decent thing is its battery (1200Mah) but android eats it up! i won't recommend this to anyone unless its like an emergency phone

My main gripe with this phone is the lack lustre screen, which just ruins the whole experience, if you're into watching videos or surfing the net. Overall, we feel it's a decent buy, if you have small hands and desperately want a touchscreen phone on the cheap side.

24 August 2011 – On the affordable spectrum, the Galaxy Y and Galaxy Y Pro were made official as well. Y stands for youth, and that is who the phones are aimed at, and both devices come with lower price points. Galaxy Y runs on Android 2.3 OS skinned with the TouchWiz UI.

+ Affordable; + Modest specifications

The Samsung Galaxy Y is a smartphone approved for all audiences. Perhaps in hindsight, our Galaxy Note review should've been rated PG. But well yeah, we're always wiser in hindsight. Anyway, you don't just wake up one morning wanting a superphone like the Note. You need a place to start.

Additional comments: This is the QWERTY keyboard model with the smaller display screen. Also known as Samsung Galaxy Txt. Unsure if shipped with 2GB card as the Y Duos will be but probably so. Larger battery than the Y Duos. Slightly larger, slightly heavier than the Y Duos model.

The Y in Galaxy Y stands for 'young' and that's exactly what this phone delivers -- a starter smart phone for kids. Its budget screen probably won't even impress the under 10s, but for playing Angry Birds , checking Facebook and ignoring phone calls from parents, this device can suffice.

Cheap to buy; MicroSD card slot

Poor quality display; Low-power chip; Very small size limits its appeal

L ast year, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Y S5360, a highly affordable, user-friendly phone for a broad public, which runs on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system. The Samsung Galaxy Y, also known as the Young, has a 3-inch QVGA TFT LCD screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.

Still, it will be quite acceptable for everyday use and images and videos can be shared online through various services. Camera aside the Galaxy Y is a pocket friendly touchscreen phone offering the latest Android (at its release) with some fantastic entertainment and social networking features that...

With Skype text input and Navigon's turn-by-turn GPS application, the Samsung Galaxy Y appears to offer plenty of bang for your buck.

Android phones continually exceed our expectations when it comes to bang for your buck and the is a perfect example. Retailing for just $129 through Telstra, the Galaxy Y is a compact, functional and easy to use smartphone.
