At
the present moment the Indian market is flooded by a deluge of budget
smartphones, almost all of them are Android driven handsets. Because of the
number of such handsets it is very difficult for a common user to choose a
smartphone which is in accordance with his need and does not harm his pocket
too much. In order to alleviate the problem I am going to write this post where
I shall be comparing two Samsung handsets running Android OS: Samsung Galaxy Y
and Samsung Galaxy Pocket.
As
I always do with budget smartphones, I will first tell you about the amount of money
that the handsets will be costing you; if you plan your purchase, both the handsets will come under 7000
INR. Let’s talk about the features now.
CPU
and RAM
In
the processor and RAM segment both the handsets are somewhat similar. Both of
them sport a 832GHz processor. Pocket has a 384 MB of RAM whereas the Y sports
290 MB of the same. Pocket seems to be having an upper hand, though a very
small one.
Display
In
the display segment the Pocket has a 2.8 inch screen with 320x240 p resolution
in reply the Galaxy Y has a 3 inch screen with the same pixel resolution.
Pocket has support for 56K colors and the Galaxy has 256K. With bigger screen
size and more number of colors the Galaxy Y takes the trophy home.
Storage
In
the storage segment the Samsung Galaxy Pocket has a conspicuous advantage over the
Galaxy Y as it has a 3GB internal storage and the storage capacity can be
furthered till 35 GB via a 32 GB microSD
card; the Galaxy Y in this case seems to be tottering far behind the Pocket
with a trifling 180 MB internal storage capacity. Y too sports the same memory
expansion capacity.
Camera
Neither
of the handsets can boast of having a tremendous camera spec in them; both of
them sport a 2MP primary camera, neither of them has a camera on the front side
of the body. This round ends in a tie.
Battery
In
the battery segment the Pocket has a 1200mAh li-Ion battery, which is capable
of giving you a talk time of 17 hours and a stand by time of 33 days over the
2G network. The Galaxy y has in reply has the same battery spec, the battery performs slightly better in this
handset.
Features
Both
the devices are Android Gingerbread driven handsets. Both of the handsets
support MMS, Push Mail, SNS integration,
both have EDGE and GPRS. Both have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi hotspot
functionality. Other features are also more or less the same.
The
Verdict
It
is very hard to judge the handsets on the basis of the features as there are
very few things that differentiate them. So we will have to be judgmental on
the basis of hardware specs. And in that case with bigger screen size and
better looks the verdict goes in favor of the Samsung Galaxy Y. Plus it will
cost a few bucks less.
