Samsung has made excellent smartphones in the form of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. But not many people buy such as an expensive phone in countries like India and brazil. But Samsung is one smartphone manufacturer who pumps in many mid-range and low-end smartphone in china and India to maintain the market lead and generate profits. As a part of this effort, it has introduced us to a new smartphone that is surprisingly called as Galaxy Wide and this phone is a south Korea exclusive for a foreseeable future.
The specs include 5.5 inch HD screen with a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and a pretty good 13 MP rear camera. There is also a decent 5 MP front-facing the camera for selfies and video calling. When compared to the other phones in the stable, Samsung also manufactures a phone called as Galaxy On7 and released it a few months back in India and china.
This Galaxy Wide appears to be the rebranded version of the On7 due to its strikingly similar specs and looks. The only difference being the 2 GB memory in the wide compared to the 1.5 GB on the On7. The storage capacity is also a bit higher at 16 GB in place of the regular 8 GB. But all this comes at a price, though, the On7 cost around $210 while the Galaxy wide has a higher price of $270 on it. this is one of the few phones that still has a removable 3000 mAh battery and an expandable storage slot.
The phone comes with Android 6.0.1 with TouchWiz on top of it out of the box. Samsung has included “T-DMB chip, which lets you access digital terrestrial broadcasting, a form of TV broadcasting higher in quality than that offered by conventional analog signals.” Cnet.
