Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy Appeal I827

Short Review

  • The Samsung Galaxy Appeal I827 features a compact design with dimensions of 112 x 57.7 x 14.2 mm and a weight of 114.2g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
  • Its 3.2-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 180 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for detailed visuals.
  • Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7225A Snapdragon S1 chipset, an 800 MHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 4GB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera is a modest 3.15 MP, sufficient for casual photography, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • Battery life is supported by a 1300 mAh capacity, which may require frequent charging due to its limited power.
  • The device runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), an outdated operating system that restricts access to modern apps and features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, and it includes a headphone jack for audio output.
  • Overall, the Galaxy Appeal I827 is a basic smartphone with essential features, suitable for users with minimal requirements.
  • Its design, while functional, does not stand out in a market filled with more advanced options.
