The Samsung Galaxy R I9103 stops a few paces from the top in Samsung's Android lineup, but you can tell that the R&D for the top dogs has trickled down the ranks. The camera quality when compared to other Galaxy models has definitely improved, if you exclude the lack of autofocus when shooting video.
Hardware-wise, it cant exactly compete with the top dog in Samsungs lineup, the S II, but it does better than many of the other Galaxy variants available, namely the Galaxy W. read more →

- Android OS v2.3.3 with TouchWiz 4 launcher
- 1 GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 CPU, ULP GeForce GPU, NVIDIA Tegra 2 chipset, 1GB of RAM
- SC-LCD has poor black levels
- Tegra 2 falls slightly behind Exynos in CPU and GPU performance

All in all, the Samsung Galaxy R is one impressive smartphone that offers plenty of processing power packed up in one pretty slim body. It stands out with its great 4.2-inch display, and the in-call sound quality that it delivers is way above the average. But once you look at its price tag, you realize that the Samsung GALAXY S II is only a tad more expensive. At the same time, it is lighter, slimmer, and even more powerful in terms of raw computing skills. read more →
