Plz dont go by the review coz the phone price has reduced by 10k since then

Galaxy R initially came out at 30.5k and hence so many negative reviews because at the same price you get Galaxy S2 which is the best phone is the market. Period.

But now that the price has been slashed by 10k ( Galaxy R priced around 20k now), there is no better phone going around the market now if you are looking for absolute in-depth performance plus a great investment. It has DUAL CORE 1Ghz Tegra 2 processor which itself increases the multi tasking abilities way beyond normal. Add to th...

Web Browsing experience/HDMI/Camera

The lovely screen on the SGR is awesome, combined with the dual core processor and good software the web browsing experience is a pleasant one.

On the other hand, O2X sucks while loading pages. It is mighty choppy (check online too) due to the crappy software. You have other options to root it to improve performance, but why risk the warranty for a year?!

And instead of HDMI you can use AllShare (DLNA) to connect your phone to TV. Else, simply copy files to USB and view (takes less than 10 ...

Gud phone but may never see day light again

Well folks I have conformation from official flipkart customer care saying this is the fastest selling item in their entire website and they are trying to get it in stock but are not sure if it will happen even in a week...all stores outside have also declared this item out of stock(~24k)
I think sammy is purposefully stopping production of this item to promote galaxy s advance to be release during MWC'12
So very gud phone for the price and specs,all those who bought it lucky guys !sigh! for...

A nice buy in this cost!

Regarded as the younger brother of the SGS2, the Galaxy R proves to be pretty good. I got this one when its price dropped to 20,990/-

Yes, there was a big confusion which one to go for-LG Optimus 2x or Samsung Galaxy R. Certainly LG Optimus 2x has better features with
- 8MP Camera
- 1080p video recording capability
- Gorilla glass blah blah blah... and yes, not the least, its priced 1000 bucks less than Galaxy R - icing on the cake!

But I chose Samsung mostly for its brand name and UI. I w...

Finally launched

Have been waiting for the launch of this Tegra based model. Though the specs look good ; at this price point you might as well go in for the higher spec'd S2 . Not quite attractive at this price point ..

Still overpriced

Samsung has got overconfidence after the success of galaxy s2...people dont buy every product of Samsung at the cost of one success product...and one more thing Nokia is Back with better platform(software) and never beaten fantastic hardware.. Samsung, Pricing is very sensitive specially for Indian Market. So price accordingly your Device...Rest is Good.....

Galaxy R review

First would like to commend Flipkart service. Received the product within 3 days of ordering with excellent packaging.
Now for the phone:
Pros:
1. Excellent screen. Great brightness and colours
2. Smooth interface and sleek design (though S2 is thinner)
3. Packs almost all desired features.
Cons:
1. Battery life is disappointing.
2. Seems this model has been discontinued by Samsung. Not sure if it is due to Faulty Pricing OR any technical faults. So cant be sure if updates would be availab...
