Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy 551
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy 551 features a compact design with dimensions of 111 x 55 x 15.2 mm and a weight of 117g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 3.2-inch TFT display has a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 146 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227 Snapdragon S1 chipset with a 600 MHz CPU and Adreno 200 GPU, paired with 160MB of RAM, which limits multitasking capabilities.
- The camera offers a 3.15 MP rear sensor with autofocus, but video recording is limited to 320p at 15fps, and there is no front-facing camera.
- The 1200 mAh battery provides basic longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo), it can be upgraded to 2.3.6 (Gingerbread), which may limit access to modern apps.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Galaxy 551 is a basic device suitable for simple tasks but lacks modern features and performance.
- Its build quality is standard for its time, with no water resistance or premium materials.
