Unboxing and Hands-on Review of the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Dewar's
The Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Dewar's is a dual SIM version of the popular Samsung Galaxy Y Pro, which was previously known as the Coati smartphone. This device features a touch-type phone with dual SIM capabilities, making it an ideal choice for those who want to stay connected on the go.
Upon opening the box, we find that the device is already partially assembled, with only the battery and other components missing. Inside the box, we also find a two-gigabyte micro SD card, which is a welcome bonus for users who want to expand their storage capacity. The box also includes standard Samsung packaging, but unfortunately, it's already open, making it impossible to use my trusty old knife to remove any remaining stickers or adhesives.
Moving on to the device itself, we're greeted by a full-sized keyboard, which is a great feature for those who want to type extensively. The phone's design is similar to the Galaxy Y, with a slightly smaller screen measuring 2.6 inches diagonally and a pixel density of 179 pixels per inch. The display is also denser in terms of pixels per inch compared to the Galaxy Y's display.
The phone features several sensors, including a front-facing VGA camera that can enable video calling over 3G. There are also hardware buttons for Android, including a menu button, home button, back button, and search button. The device also comes with an optical trackpad, which has a center selection button, similar to those found on BlackBerry devices.
One of the notable features of this phone is its full QWERTY keyboard, which is raised and has oval-shaped keys that are easy to type on. However, it may take some time to get used to the keyboard's layout, as there is no differentiation between the keys. The back of the device features an old-style finish, similar to those found on Wave phones, with a glossy surface.
Upon booting up the phone, we find that it runs Android 2.3.6, along with TouchWiz, which provides a user-friendly interface and several pre-installed apps. One of the notable features of this phone is its touchscreen, which seems to be slightly unresponsive at first, but improves once the screen is cleaned.
To test the phone's performance, we jump into the settings menu and find that it has TouchWiz as the launcher. Holding down on the home button allows us to access the task manager, which provides an overview of all running apps and processes. We also take a look at the lockscreen, which features Samsung's traditional touch lock screen.
Next, we move on to the dialer app, where we find that it supports video calling over 3G. The keypad layout is similar to those found on other Android devices, but with a twist – we have to use the keypad from below to dial numbers instead of using on-screen keys. This feature may appeal to users who prefer a more traditional dialing experience.
Finally, we take a look at the camera app, which features a fixed focus lens that is not an autofocus camera. However, it does come with Samsung settings, which provide additional options and features for customizing the camera experience. Overall, this phone seems like a great option for those who want to type extensively and enjoy Android on their device.
Market Price and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Dewar's is available in the market at a price of Rs 11,990, but users can get it for around Rs 9,500 in various markets. For international buyers, the phone is priced at approximately $200, making it an affordable option for those who want to try out Android on their device.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Dewar's is a great phone for those who enjoy typing and messaging extensively. Its full QWERTY keyboard and optical trackpad make it an ideal choice for users who prefer a more traditional typing experience. With its Android 2.3.6 operating system and TouchWiz launcher, this phone provides a user-friendly interface and several pre-installed apps.
