Hardware & Software
Samsung Galaxy V boasts a 4-inch display offering 480 x 800 pixels resolution. The Galaxy V display is from thin-film transistor (or TFT) LCD panel, which is cheaper and easy to mass-produce, though not as efficient as competitors.
Samsung Galaxy V is powered by a 1.2Ghz, single-core processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage with 64GB of additional storage accessible via a microSD card slot.
Samsung Galaxy V has a VGA front camera (likely less than 1MP, probably 0.3MP) and a 3 megapixels back camera, so your pictures won’t be too stellar but should be decent enough to share on social sites like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp.
Conclusion
Samsung Galaxy V provides all that you need in a device, although not necessarily all that you’d ever want. It’s meant to be an excellent buy for “bare-bones” users who do not need or want all the bells and whistles of Samsung’s high-end smartphones.
At the same time, you’ll need to rely on a microSD card (which you’ll have to buy separately) in order to get the most out of your memory, and 4GB of local memory won’t be enough to store lots of apps. On the other hand, the 800 x 480 resolution should save immensely when it comes to battery life, and the two cameras will allow you some sufficient photos when you need them.
You may find the Galaxy V to be your device of choice, but remember that the experience will be “sufficient,” not “great.” Samsung Galaxy V comes in black and white colours and has Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) installed right out of the box.
