Samsung Star S5230 Review

[BubbleGumGoose]

How much does it cost in India

[Esdisu]

had it for about a year now

doesn't recognize some numbers i added to my phonebook

and last week the touchscreen broke, so i can't get a hold of my numbers

the S in samsung is for shame

[MuttMaxx]

it is more polished and when it falls everything gets out of it and also its easy to make scratches!!! ><''

thumb up if agree :)

[DrSixSixSix]

fucking HATE IT!!! -,- this is not my phone :DDDD must change it :D

[emmajohnsonize]

i have such a phone and my problem is, by incoming calls or messages i just see the phone number from the caller, even if i have this number saved in my phonebook! i never know who is calling and i don't know how to change that! if someone knows, pleeeeeaase help!!!

[aishacadenza]

@emmajohnsonize um maybe you can try putting the area code or what ever it's called before the number. eg: instead of putting 5552019 put +13475552019 ( I hope this isn't anyone's real number :S) I have an lg cookie that had the same problem but once I put the code b4 the numbers it worked.

[unexpected092]

Srearch on youtube how to flash s5230

[Jmbg55]

do you have to pay a month for this phone?

[hdmat101]

my one has a tv antenna for real

[Fletcherismine]

I own it since 2010. And I regreted. I rather get a smartphone. Nonetheless, one of the best for budget phone.

[MrBrodiemorris]

1.good price range

2.good quality

3.best phone ive had

4.quite fast

5.good for lisening to music very loud sound

.

[HitmanVK1995]

1st - It costs about 50 pounds and I can say it's CRAP

2nd - Very crap looking phone with a plastic body

3rd - It lasts much less than 7 days if you use it

4th - very small screen (3 inches) - crap for internet, doesn't even have EDGE. only GPRS which is slow, no pinch to zoom or anything

5 - They say the camera is 3.2mp but it seems like 2mp

You can buy a much better phone, I got the Samsung Wave II for just 110 pounds

[stiCkman55M]

Is this phone worth buying?

[bertieG9]

I have had this phone for two years, and it just died :( The touch screen has completely stopped working :'( It was a great value phone though!

[afiqfi04]

use android or what? support nimbuzz, whatsapp or not? sorry, kinda lame question.

[IURI209]

Price 350 Gel

[IURI209]

[KamerideGhost]

[jungiejg]

[ranzy360rn]

[stiCkman55M]

[jungiejg]

@stiCkman55M Yes There Is A Wifi

[HitmanVK1995]

[safwanul447]

[98jecika]

[Ronaldinho6457]

[FinnReaper115]

I got that phone today, and guess what it did cost? UNDER 50 EUROS!!! Too cheap. And the phone is awesome!!!!!

[KIDEKIDE90]

YOU ARE RETARDED WITH THAT FINGER

[ElitePer1]

OMG this phone doesnt have WIFI, avoid it!!!!!

[jamkulit29]

Definetly a very good phone....

I have it for some ^ months and its really good....

I dropped it 4 times......but still working properly....

:)

[kreed82]

I was first introduced to this guy through other phones and he sounded like he knew his stuff.So I go to this vid where he reviews the phone I have and he was off.The battery life for the samsung star is pretty good

[danoola25]

had this phone for 2 years, and have now got a lg optimus 2x, this phone was awesome though!!! i am giving it to my mum <3

[ArsalanLeo96]

I had this phone for over a year, and i simply loved it, although the camera wasn't that good but still, it was ausum...!!

[thehegt]

No WiFi No 3G what is the phone for touching around ?

[Katastrofeas5]

I had that phone for 2 years! It is great!! Never got bored of it :D

[BigTimeRahuli]

Is it worth to buy it?

[JGC0726]

had this phone..u cant installed apps unless you update the firmware...cheap digitizer screen had to repair it to times and it freezes alot..cheapest phone made by samsung...

[0xspnxx0]

Im gona buy this phone this month :) its price is local store is 68 euros only!

[Djibrilian]

does anyone knows how can i add wi-fi on this phone?

[elyk129]

@Djibrilian you can't but they released another model called samsung star wifi.

[HitmanVK1995]

THIS IS A CRAP PHONE! SLOW INTERNET (NO WIFI ACCESS JUST NETWORK), CRAP CAMERA, SLOW PHONE, CAN HARDLY GET ANY APPS/GAMES, TOUCH SCREEN IS NOT SENSITIVE AND YOU HAVE TO PRESS HARDER THAN MOST TOUCH SCREEN PHONES.

DON'T GET THIS PHONE, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BUDGET PHONE GET THE SAMSUNG WAVE 2 WHICH IS 99 POUNDS FROM CARPHONE WAREHOUSE.

[griphook1216]

@HitmanVK1995 i agree. i don't like this phone either. it's slow and the calibration of the touch screen is way different and u have to press it harder. cannot install themes either and hard to find wallpapers that fit in this phone. it's crap

[puppylover22580795]

Can you customize your own wallpaper?

[Hillbilly2447]

@puppylover22580795 Yes, but you can better buy an alternative phone because this one is aged quite a lot..

[puppylover22580795]

@Hillbilly2447 Cool...

but I'm getting a different one..

thanks anyways! :D

[Zerosh1ft]

wish I was friends with Morheus

[TheFerso13]

a friend got this phone, he cant install games to it! but is cheap and touchscreen the software is good for me , if you rotate the phone nothing happends but is thin

[LexMonsterNo1]

I have it for 2 years and i can say its AWESOME.

1st - i costs around 100-120 euros!

2nd - very elegant looking phone, light weight

3rd - best battery i ever had! it always lasts 7 days!

4th - very big screen, awesome for internet

5th - camera is not so great, but people invented Cameras for that....

[Pruttomaten]

@LexMonsterNo1 whuut?

I'n finland it costs 68 euros :OO

[LexMonsterNo1]

@Pruttomaten fuck finland, serbia ftw :)

[Pruttomaten]

@LexMonsterNo1 for real?

no,i've been to serbia..

although finland sucks,i'd rather eat my mothers shit than go to serbia again...motherfucking waste of money..

[LexMonsterNo1]

@Pruttomaten serbia is mother of all contries!

[Pruttomaten]

@LexMonsterNo1 more like the drunk pedophile uncle..

[LexMonsterNo1]

@Pruttomaten dude wtf is your problem??? are you retarded or just 10 year old? i wont fucking reply anymore to your retarded mentally challenged comments... fuck off

[Pruttomaten]

@LexMonsterNo1 no,i'm totally normal.

I just don't like Serbia,or people who bitch on Finland.

[paquitodjtotal]

@LexMonsterNo1 I'm agree with you, I have it for 2 years too. I like his camera, when I bought it, it was an incredible phone!

[4everVictoriaJ]

@LexMonsterNo1 Noo, now only 90

[fudgehog68]

@4everVictoriaJ 60

[4everVictoriaJ]

@fudgehog68 without vertrag sure

[Saport95]

@LexMonsterNo1 is it easy to type with it?

[LexMonsterNo1]

@Saport95 For me yeah. If you dont have large fingers :)

If you d, buy pen.

[Saport95]

@LexMonsterNo1 thanks for the answer :)

[estrafo]

@LexMonsterNo1 how about the things you don't like about this phone? Are there cons? I'm about to buy this phone and I would like to know about it. Thanks.

[LexMonsterNo1]

@estrafo Judgeing by the price (100 euros) this is very good phone. I just dont like that it doesnt have themes (it has only 2), but its not just this phone, no Samsung has themes...

There are replacements for themes, its called firmware.

Check out: "S5230 Iphone firmware"

[Luke7195]

@LexMonsterNo1 YEAH I HAVE IT!! Battery ROCKS!

[moneyquickeasy]

@LexMonsterNo1 looks like shit. also, your excuse for this having a bad camera is invalid. if the camera doesn't matter, why have it?

[KermitDaFrogDude]

FUCK THIS PHONE

[HalfLife2Vuk]

same like my phone but crushed lol........

[Xanxus29]

my mother give it to me :P

[tucho713]

[beyblademasterjack]

[ikverona]

[nisse1600]

This phone sucks

[MouseManis]

@nisse1600

Your argue is invalid.

[nisse1600]

@MouseManis Too much specific technical problems. And it relly do sucks difference the smartphones

[moneyquickeasy]

@MouseManis incorrect English. try again.

[BruceAkonAudiR8]

how can i make him only with one screen?

[TheNewChickens]

can you remove the wall? (go to 1:30)

[MrXhuliokureta]

I have bought this phone about 3 months ago and I'm really enjoying it. The only disadvantage is it doesn't have 3G.

[Arto572]

btw, good phone if you want to SMS, call, surf the internet and view youtube, although you have to watch youtube at 240p, or you will drain your battery and the video lags (NOT BUFFERING!)

[Arto572]

where can i get extra widgets? the built in widget browser is fucking shit, has stupid ones

[nongiceza99]

I Love Touch

[BoomBoiatch]

this phone is utter shit... ine has taken some falls and its now slow as shit...

[iamurdad77]

@BoomBoiatch try and stop dropping it then! perhaps its your grip that is utter shit!

[masterb00ster]

Muahaha my Phone is better!!!!

[iamurdad77]

@masterb00ster then give yourself a cookie!

[nvm0]

The only good thing about this phone is that there are many good games for it on the net. But everything else about it sucks.

[MrSuurijohtaja]

My friend bought this phone, it worked two months :D That is why he uses Nokia now. And some people said Samsung is good?? xD

[nvm0]

@MrSuurijohtaja oh,bad for him :D this phone is just outdated slow crap

[MrSuurijohtaja]

@nvm0 Yea, he isn't very good in choosing phones, i am sure that he would have found better phone with same price if he would wanted to. Even from Samsung which he liked so much.

[nvm0]

@MrSuurijohtaja he could have bought an SE xperia ( any kind of xperia). I have a mini pro and it's 10x more reliable than this slow piece of garbage,even the sound quality is 100x more amazing (even the video quality)

[Kolibri832]

buy a sony ericssson xpreria neo, its much  better i had this telephone too, but i hate the very very bad touchscreen, dont buy it !!

[CornalitoGeek]

getting one today!

[cedriccj777]

"the hoe idea....."

:P

[masterb00ster]

Shit Phone! My Phone is better!!!! :P

[bubibubi180498]

i will buy one!

[Outsiderkaa]

It's nice but it lacks functions. That's why I don't like it. And some of the functions don't work. It's slow and sometimes freezes. The battery is quite nice tho. Works up to 5 days (and I use it ALOT, trust me).

[Alibaba278]

i realy like this phone.

[leoinggeo]

it sucks

[bibblebabble69]

@thenerds21 the camera is ok cos my sis had this phone and the camera was awesome in light places, yes u can download apps (more like widgets) touchscreen is good, never freezes, but if u sit on ur fone the touchscreen stops working its fast the wifi is easy its all cool.

[MrNomSauce]

um, microsoft sam much?

[MrSuurijohtaja]

This phone looks nice! My friend has it. But it is little broken right now so he is going to change it to Nokia.

[babyyiluu4everr]

i got this phone because how it looked in pink, but the camera is REALLY disappointing as there's no focus at all & it can't take good pics in the dark. And when I pick up calls I'll have to repeatedly press the answer button because it lags a lot. I was so disappointed in Samsung =/

[wateverrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

love this phone BUT HATE THE IMPOSSIBILITY TO REMOVE THE COVER

[007spartangamer]

samsung galaxy gio ftw!

[matias19891]

Dont buy this phone, buy an Iphone 4G

[Vmt16]

@matias19891 Not everyone can afford to buy an iphone. This phone is pretty damn good for it's price.

[Nahid6936]

This is a nice phone no problem and good price.

I got mine from mycellz4less and never had problem.

[TechyDan]

samsung star 2 is gonna be even better. used this phone and loved it :D

[themetal2001]

to every stupid who compares this phone to galaxy s and iphone, not everyone is rich. And i think if you are really rich you wouldn't waste your time on commenting on cheap phones on youtube. I know its not a great phone, but its very cheaaaap. Some people can't afford the more expensive ones.

[Vmt16]

@themetal2001 My iphone bricked (I still have 3 months of the 24 month contract left) so I had to get a cheap replacement phone. I hope I made the right choice with this, as long as it loads twitter ok and has a good sms interface, I'll take it. I'll worry about the rest when a new iphone comes out and I'm again the operators bitch for another 2 years.

[themetal2001]

@Vmt16

It will do good as a replacement. But don't have big expectations for it or you will be disappointed. I Wish you good luck and i hope you get the new iphone soon.

[TheYovana97]

Why i everyone so negative about this phone?I'm looking for cheaper touchscreen phone with solid camera,solid sound,with nice look,some applications,themes,fast-ish touchscreen and internet acess (it doesn't have to be fast one) and every phone review i look comments are "Phone is shit!" / "Don't buy it!" etc. and nobody is explaining why?Could someone explain me why this phone is so bad and suggest me which one to buy?(my budget is not very high so no samsung galaxies,jets,omnias etc.)

[AnisKhanVIP]

@TheYovana97 buy samsung marvel s5560 best phone same as star with new features

[LightBlueDiamondz]

@TheYovana97 You could try Nokia C5-01

[TheYovana97]

@LightBlueDiamondz Nah,i don't realy like phones with that kind of design,thanks for helping though

[LightBlueDiamondz]

@TheYovana97 Im sorry i mean C5-03 ...my bad

if you dont like it you could try the C6-01... both touchscreen

[TheYovana97]

@LightBlueDiamondz thanks,i'll check those out ;)

[TheNikola997]

@TheYovana97 cause u have better phones for the same price now.

[maxxbad17]

@TheYovana97 you can buy samsung chat 335 or samsung 5250(touchscreen,wifi,android,­gps etc) or samsung europa...at a very attractive price!

[ikke3wie3anders3]

@TheYovana97 i totally agree , this phone is great if u search for a touchscreen phone and a low price . in my country ( belgium ) you can buy it for 80 euro . thats 115 americain dollars , and thats so cheap!

[chheryboom]

@TheYovana97

I do not think negative about this phone! It is cheap,cool and it is touchscreen.Just what i was looking for :D

I don't know why people say like ''This phone is shit!'' Why? You dam people buy expensive phones just to look cool and all! Well this phone is awasome!!! I am gonna buy this phone in like 15 or 14 days :D

[TheNewChickens]

@chheryboom I have this phone, better buy Samsung Galaxy :)

[underdograza]

this is Shit ! dont but it it's screen sucks big time man !! it's been 1 month and my screen is full of scratches !! :@

[Vmt16]

@underdograza That's why you should get an invisibleshield on it.

[123hadie]

I had this phone and I loved it, it was really easy to use and was great. The reason I got a new phone is because it spontaneously stopped charging

[EricSaadeForever5]

I buy it today it's so cool :D

@Irockhard93 its a piece of shit :D if you feel that way you've probably bought it a little while ago or have previously owned a old shit phone.

[tjittosz]

@OGEwoke You are shit! For someone who doesn't want to spend all their money on a phone this is perfect! I got mine 2-3 years now and it has fallen from 1, 2 or 3 meters but it still works. I dropped it twice in the water, but it still works. I treat him like shit, but it still works. I don't want an iPhone for I don't know how many money. Oh wait, I forgot something. I CAN OPEN MY BEERS WITH IT. It's the best phone I ever had.

[BALEANUDAN98]

@OGEwoke You are shit :)
