Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy View
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy View features a large 18.4-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 120 ppi.
- Its design is bulky, measuring 451.8 x 275.8 x 11.9 mm and weighing 2.65 kg, making it less portable than typical smartphones.
- Performance is driven by the Exynos 7580 Octa chipset, with an octa-core CPU clocked at 1.6 GHz and 2GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The device lacks a rear camera and offers a modest 2.1 MP front-facing camera, limiting photography capabilities.
- The 5700 mAh battery provides extended usage, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is dated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device features stereo speakers and a headphone jack for audio output.
- Available in black and white, the build materials are unspecified, and there is no water resistance.
- Overall, the Galaxy View is designed primarily for media consumption rather than traditional smartphone use.
