Short Review

  • The Samsung I9103 Galaxy R features a compact design with dimensions of 125 x 66 x 9.5 mm and a weight of 135 grams, making it lightweight and portable.
  • Its 4.2-inch SC-LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 222 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by the Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and ULP GeForce GPU, paired with 1GB of RAM, which handles everyday applications adequately.
  • The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front-facing camera is a modest 1.3 MP.
  • The battery capacity is 1650 mAh, providing limited longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread), it can be upgraded to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), though it lacks modern software features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device does not have stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
  • Overall, the Galaxy R is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for casual users.
