Short Review

  • The Samsung Galaxy S Duos 3 features a compact design with dimensions of 121.4 x 62.9 x 10.8 mm and a weight of 124g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
  • Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing sufficient capability for everyday applications, though it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
  • The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • Battery capacity stands at 1500mAh, which may require frequent charging given the device's performance demands.
  • Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is basic and lacks the features of more recent versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device also includes a headphone jack, which is a plus for audio connectivity.
  • Overall, the Galaxy S Duos 3 is a straightforward smartphone suitable for basic use, but it lacks advanced features and performance capabilities.
  • Its design and build quality are functional, catering to users looking for simplicity.
