Comparisons Featuring Samsung Wave Y S5380
Short Review
- The Samsung Wave Y S5380 features a compact design with dimensions of 110 x 58.2 x 12.3 mm and a weight of 102.4g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 3.2-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 180 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking in sharpness for detailed visuals.
- Performance is powered by an 832 MHz CPU and 150MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 2 MP, capable of recording video at 480p and lacking advanced features like optical image stabilization.
- The 1200 mAh battery provides adequate power for daily use but does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on bada 2.0, the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to modern operating systems.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, though it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device also includes a headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Available in black and a LaFleur edition, the design offers some aesthetic variety.
- Overall, the Samsung Wave Y S5380 serves as a simple, functional device for basic communication and media consumption.
