Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy View2
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy View2 features a large 17.3-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 127 ppi.
- Its design is substantial, measuring 417.1 x 263.4 x 17.3 mm and weighing 2.23 kg, making it more of a portable media device than a traditional phone.
- Performance is driven by the Exynos 7884 chipset, with an octa-core CPU and 3GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks and media consumption.
- The device lacks a rear camera but includes a 5MP front-facing camera for video calls.
- Battery life is robust, powered by a 12,000 mAh capacity, although it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- The software runs on Android 8.1 (Oreo) and includes stereo speakers for enhanced audio playback.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 5.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is offered in a dark grey color and features a USB Type-C 2.0 port and a headphone jack.
- Overall, the Galaxy View2 is designed primarily for media consumption rather than traditional smartphone use.
- Its large display and strong battery make it suitable for watching videos and browsing the internet.
