Short Review
- The Samsung I9230 Galaxy Golden features a unique flip design that enhances its portability, measuring 118 x 59.5 x 15.8 mm and weighing 179 grams.
- Its 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 252 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 400 chipset, paired with 1.5GB of RAM, providing adequate speed for everyday applications.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 1.9 MP front camera serves for basic selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 1820 mAh capacity, though it lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), offering a dated software experience without the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The build quality is solid, with a choice of black and gold colors, though it lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the Galaxy Golden combines a distinctive design with basic functionality, making it suitable for users who prioritize style over cutting-edge technology.
