Samsung galaxy w gt i8150 dimensions. Review of the Samsung i8150 Galaxy W smartphone: a marvelous wonder. Different sensors perform different quantitative measurements and convert physical indicators into signals that a mobile device can recognize
Samsung Galaxy W I8150
The Samsung Galaxy W smartphone presented at IFA 2011 borrowed its capital letter from the English Wonder, which translates as “miracle”. Let's face it, we've seen smartphones with more “wonderful” characteristics. But the price-quality ratio and the implementation of functions really didn’t let us down.
Design
The smartphone is assembled well, I did not notice any assembly defects. The body is neither thick nor thin, fits perfectly in the hand and does not weigh much. The back cover is made of textured plastic that is pleasant to the touch, so from the kinesthetic side, this is a solid five.
As for the overall aesthetic impression... This is the same Samsung on Android OS, like many of its predecessors. There is a central hardware “Home” button under the screen, touch “Properties” and “Back” buttons on the sides, “Samsung” inscriptions above the screen and on the back cover. If you saw one, you saw everything.
The power button is located on the left side, and the volume control is on the opposite side. A headphone jack and a MicroUSB connector with a plug occupy the top end.
Screen
The diagonal of the Galaxy W capacitive display is 3.7 inches and the resolution is 800x480 pixels. This is a regular TFT screen, but it has an excellent brightness reserve. At maximum brightness, it can easily outshout the winter sun, and should perform well in summer too.

The screen sensitivity is high, five clicks are recognized simultaneously, which is enough to show these flying fruits who is the boss, the cook and the ninja.
At an angle, the image fades slightly, but overall the picture makes an extremely positive impression.
Iron
Under the smartphone body there is a single-core processor with clock frequency 1.4 GHz, Adreno 205 and 512 MB graphics accelerator random access memory(the user “sees” about 351 MB). This ensures high performance in games and applications. The synthetic performance test scores are also quite good - 1169 points in Quadrant Standard and 57.2 FPS in Neocore.
As for working in the operating system itself... I don’t know how many cores and gigahertz a gluttonous green robot needs for the interface to work perfectly, but the Galaxy W is no different from the vast majority of devices in this regard. From time to time, microdelays occur in the interface when switching desktops, galleries, and browsers. Yes, and the Android Market no, no, and it will slow down. I won’t say that this is a big hindrance, but the eye catches on these flaws.
Samsung Galaxy W is connected to a PC using the MTP protocol. The solution, in my opinion, is successful, since the connected device automatically switches to storage mode, without the need to press anything on the screen and safely remove the device after the data is copied. The disadvantage of this solution is that to connect you will need to install an application on your PC Samsung Kies, which contains all the necessary drivers. There is no need to launch Kies itself.
Samsung didn't get greedy and gave the device a 4 GB drive (but saved on the memory card). The space was divided as follows: a gigabyte was spent on the needs of the operating system itself, another gigabyte was allocated for installing applications, and the remaining couple of “hectares” were given to users. In this division, the gigabyte for applications is especially pleasing - you don’t have to worry about what to remove from old programs in order to install a new one. Positive!
Android
The latest on this moment Samsung firmware Galaxy W brings with it a combination of Android 2.3.6 operating system and new version Samsung Touchwiz. I haven’t interacted closely with this shell since the review and was pleasantly surprised at how the Koreans have improved it over these six months. However, the completely different technical potential of the gadget also contributed to this.

The interface of the desktops remains the same - by “pinch” you can switch to the mode for selecting any of the tables. There can be up to seven of them in total. One of the nice additions worth noting is that now, by flipping through the tables one by one, you can jump from the seventh to the first in one movement.
The lock screen has been completely redesigned and no longer resembles the standard Android sliders. Instead, the phone is brought into working condition with one arbitrary movement of the finger. And you can still install a separate picture on it. The only pity is that, unlike HTC Sense, you cannot place active elements on the lock screen in this version of Touchwiz, and by default you can only find the “native” music player widget there.
Samsung pre-installed a bunch of applications and all its hubs (“portals”) into the smartphone. Here's an alternative app store for you Samsung Apps, And wireless transmission AllShare content, and “air” synchronization with Kies Air PC. For those who like to work with office documents There is Polaris Office on the smartphone screen, and there is even a photo editor for mobile photographers. Absent-minded users will appreciate a note-taking app with a desktop widget. Another fun app is Mini Diary for journaling.
The pre-installed games are not very interesting, and in almost all cases these are just demo versions. Luckily, two app stores are still ready to flood you with good toys.
But sociable Internet users are luckier - the Galaxy W comes pre-installed with the uTalk client, which combines several social networks and messengers. Well, the social hub itself, integrating news from Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin, is also in place.

I was also pleased that the stupid limit of four at a time was removed from the browser. open windows, which until recently terrorized inexpensive models with Touchwiz. Now you can open windows as much as you like. Hooray! (In fact, up to 16 pieces, but, however, still hurray! - Ed.)
In general, the system leaves a pleasant impression and there was no desire to immediately change Touchwiz to some third-party launcher. It's not HTC Sense, but it's quite usable.
Multimedia
The sound in the headphones of the Samsung Galaxy W is very decent; the device is quite capable of replacing inexpensive players on the road. Of course, I'm not talking about a complete headset with missing bass, but about some decent headphones.
"Native" Android player still poorly parses the Cyrillic alphabet and does not support lossless formats, so true music connoisseurs are invited to the Android Market. My favorite old-school Andless player in this smartphone was ungodly buggy and froze the system when trying to play APE files, so I had to settle on the paid Power AMP - no problems were noticed with it.
 |
The speaker of the gadget is average in volume, incoming calls are heard well. Microphone quality and conversational dynamics also good - no distortion in voice transmission was noticed.
Everything is fine with video playback. Firstly, when copying a video to a smartphone, the drivers automatically recognize the video file and offer to convert it to WMV, which helps to compress the file by 3-5 times without losing quality.
Secondly, if you don’t have time to wait, you can copy like this. The device can handle MKV, MP4 and AVI formats without any problems. DivX and Xvid codecs are supported out of the box. The only black sheep was the FLV format, which the smartphone could neither convert nor play.
In general, I found no reason to install a third-party video player; the standard one does its job perfectly.

Good screen with decent resolution, good camera, works very quickly with the Internet, which is especially noticeable to me after WM6.5 on the Samsung Omnia II. I can’t help but note the good ergonomics of Samsung and this device in particular: you can answer calls by pressing the central physical button, and end the conversation by pressing the power button. The player can be controlled without unlocking the screen. Data transfer is also disabled in one action. A lot of good and pleasant things. The device is very thin and light, which makes me very happy.

Optimal screen size, you don’t want more, the phone fits very comfortably in your hand. A large number of dialing options; you can create a shortcut for each number, as well as a shortcut for sending SMS to a specific person. GPRS makes me happy, it picks up very quickly. The price is attractive.

Poor, rough plastic back cover, which also creaks.
The biggest set-up is that this device will not be updated to Android 4.0 ICS, although the update was promised in January upon purchase. Of course, we will survive without him, but the fact of the scam is obvious.
There are all sorts of glitches that require a reboot, which I attribute to memory overload, i.e. If you have a 16GB card and it is full of 14-15, then there will be glitches. But this is not something special for this model, it is typical for all smartphones that I have ever owned.
Well, I can’t help but say about the headset - it’s terrible, I didn’t even take it out of the package.
It’s a pity that you can’t switch tracks while the player is running by holding down the physical volume buttons.
The Samsung firmware comes with games that cannot be played without root rights. Everything would be fine, but when updating via Google Play (oh

they are in everything!
The internal speaker cable is poorly secured, in the end the service center glued it to me, after 1.5 years of use the phone works for 7-10 minutes, then it gets very hot and turns off, then it shows that the battery is low. After a general reset, the problem was solved within half a day. The sound constantly disappears, so there were plenty of chances to oversleep during work, the alarm clock didn’t play! Very quiet internal speaker. The phone’s unreasonable vibration was also alarming; it was freezing on its own. It was constantly losing the network.

Speaker volume - in noisy places it is difficult to hear the interlocutor, compared with LG 500, LG has a much louder speaker. The camera takes good pictures, but when you set the maximum resolution, the zoom does not work. It's the same story with the video. The white body gets very dirty, you have to clean it with an eraser. The battery is not a fountain, it is not enough for a day, even with inactive use, if you sit on Twitter, VKontakte, the battery melts before your eyes. Strange things with memory. Even though an SD card is installed, inner memory also gets clogged. When it became completely clogged, the gallery stopped working. But all these are small things compared to Android's slowness. I thought that the 1.4 processor would provide me with fast work, but the phone constantly slows down. It is especially unpleasant when you need to make important calls, and

Deciding on the type of device (phone or smartphone?) is quite simple. If you need a simple and inexpensive device for calls and SMS, it is recommended to choose a telephone. A smartphone is more expensive, but it offers a wide variety of options: games, videos, the Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, its battery life is significantly less than that of a regular phone.General characteristics

| Technological process Information about the technological process by which the chip is manufactured. Nanometers measure half the distance between elements in the processor. | 28 nm (nanometers) |
| Processor (CPU) The primary function of a mobile device's processor (CPU) is to interpret and execute instructions contained in software applications. | ARM Cortex-A7 |
| Processor size The size (in bits) of a processor is determined by the size (in bits) of the registers, address buses, and data buses. 64-bit processors have more high performance compared to 32-bit processors, which for their part are more productive than 16-bit processors. | 32 bit |
| Instruction Set Architecture Instructions are commands with which the software sets/controls the operation of the processor. Information about the instruction set (ISA) that the processor can execute. | ARMv7 |
| Level 1 cache (L1) Cache memory is used by the processor to reduce access time to more frequently used data and instructions. L1 (level 1) cache is small in size and works much faster than both system memory and other cache levels. If the processor does not find the requested data in L1, it continues to look for it in the L2 cache. On some processors, this search is performed simultaneously in L1 and L2. | 16 kB + 16 kB (kilobytes) |
| Level 2 cache (L2) L2 (level 2) cache is slower than L1, but in return it has a larger capacity that allows caching more data. It, like L1, is much faster than system memory (RAM). If the processor does not find the requested data in L2, it continues to look for it in the L3 cache (if available) or in RAM memory. | 1024 kB (kilobytes) 1 MB (megabytes) |
| Number of processor cores The processor core executes software instructions. There are processors with one, two or more cores. Having more cores increases performance by allowing multiple instructions to be executed in parallel. | 4 |
