Short Review
- The Samsung I9301I Galaxy S3 Neo features a compact design with dimensions of 136.6 x 70.7 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 132 grams, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 306 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset, a quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1.5GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The rear camera is 8 MP with autofocus, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the front camera is 1.9 MP.
- The battery capacity is 2100 mAh, which supports standard usage without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is somewhat dated but functional.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, though it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The phone is available in white and blue colors, but it does not feature water resistance.
- Overall, the Galaxy S3 Neo provides a solid mix of design, performance, and camera capabilities for its time.
