User Reviews for Samsung Galaxy 551

The best feature of this phone is obviously its QWERTY keypad. Apart from that it has Froyo pre-installed. Apart from flash, you can get almost any application for this phone from the market. Its camera is something to write about and it has a low contrast. Battery backup is good especially when playing music and even when playing games. Internet works great with a wifi connection. Once you plug-in the ear phones the you can change the speaker setting to 5.1 channel which sounds really good On top of it I don't think you'll find another phone with so many features in the same range.nnIf you know how to tweak this phone then you can even get live wallpapers, extra storage memory for all those memory hungry applications and so on.

I bought this phone in Aug 2011 through flipkart. The performance of this phone for 3G application is very poor. Phone frequently hangs and switches itself of. The speed of 3G is also very poor. I have checked and found that this is not due to slow speed from service provider but due to the phone. Music, battery life have been good. For a traveller like me its just below par due to poor internet performance. Looking for a new one soon.

Sometimes I have to charge 2-3 times a day if you use 3G. Also it takes 1.5 hrs to charge. Camera IS POOR with no flash. Processor is slow. Plastic body doesn't look great.nOther than the above its a fine android phone with qwerty.

Hi I purchased this mobile on May,2011. Its worked fine up to 1.6 Years, later its started showing waitage like slow processing, Clashes, Unnecessary restarts, low battery even connected to Charger from 2 hours. When its disconnected immediately its going to switch off. Even I went to service center those people saying that its need mother board change which will charge half of the phone cost. Its really pain to see this bad life time of the mobile from Samsung. If any having the same problem please let me know. I love Samsung up to now and using 2 mobiles from the same brand but now I am thinking to buy other brand due to this reason.

Fast and efficient. Browser speed is amazing. Hardly ever hangs n you can download hundreds of apps. Battery is also quite long lasting. Definite value for money !!!
