THE UPSIDE:
The GT-S5300 is one of those smartphones designed to cater for the needs of the aam-aadmi.The best part about this mobile is its cost-effectiveness be it the piece as a whole or individual components seperately.
It has many features which are enticing firstly it is an affordable smartphone with a simple user interface.
It also has 3 GB of internal memory which would satisfy the memory needs for a person on an average.It has an 832 mHz processor which works pretty fast.the voice control facilty is also a very dependable and useful option combine that with the google maps navigation and boom! instant travel guide.the presence of Wi-Fi, bluetooth and GPRS functions ensure that you can always stay connected. the touch screen is also far better than that of the competitors in its segment.the screen resolution is also good.Fancy widgets like weather,International clocks which are a staple part of high-end phones are also present in this.Being an android phone this offers you extreme customisability.the 2 MP camera also works really good and gives you good snaps without having to retake them frequently
THE DOWNSIDE:
As usual the music player isn't loud enough (unless of course you use the headphones) plus the battery backup though longer than other smartphones doesn't last for long in the long term.also a reason why teens wouldn't prefer this phone is that though the processor is fast it isn't fast enough for those "in-vogue" games lie temple run etc.It has a screen which is sturdy but not sturdy enough to be flung as when you please so people with anger management problems please give this a miss :P.
well now that's my verdict in a nutshell on a scale of one to five i would give it 3.5.....
