Editor's Note (April 23, 2013): The following review has not yet been edited for grammatical errors. A final draft of the review will be released soon.

For the original German review, see here.

Samsung’s smartphone family grows steadily: By now, the Korean manufacturer offers 41 different models – not even including its famous phablets. One reason for this is that Samsung barely ever removes any smartphones from the market, thus offering models for almost every niche ranging from rugged outdoor phones to juvenile phones.

We are testing the mid-range Samsung Galaxy Express which currently costs around $450 (RRP: $599). Its name supposedly derives from its LTE capability. Other unique selling points are its AMOLED-Plus display as well as its large 2000 mAh battery.

Mid-range Android smartphones are a dime a dozen. One potential competitor of the Galaxy Express might be the HTC One SV, which is also LTE-capable, using the exact same system-on-a-chip as Samsung. A non-Android alternative might be the Nokia Lumia 820 running on Windows Phone 8. Most other devices in this price range do not come equipped with LTE, for example the Google Nexus 4 which offers a great value-for-money ratio. The Sony Xperia T and the Huawei Ascend D1 are two more mid-range competitors. Let us see, whether its LTE capabilities turn the Samsung Galaxy Express into a bargain buy.

编者按(4月23日,2013年):以下尚未被编辑语法错误。不久将公布最终草案审查。

对于的德国原装审查,在这里看到。

三星的智能手机系列稳步增长:到现在为止,韩国制造商提供了41个不同的车型 - 甚至没有包括其著名phablets的。原因之一是,三星勉强过删除任何智能手机市场,从而提供几乎所有的细分市场,从崎岖的户外的手机少年手机模型。

我们正在测试中档三星Galaxy Express,它目前售价为450元左右(市场价:599元)。据说它的名字源于其LTE能力。其他独特的卖点是其AMOLED-Plus的显示屏,以及其庞大的2000毫安时的电池。

中档Android智能手机是一毛钱一打。一个潜在的竞争对手可能是宏达其中SV,这也是LTE能够使用相同的系统上的一个芯片三星的银河快车。非Android的另一种可能是运行在Windows Phone8的诺基亚Lumia820。大多数在这个价格范围内的其他设备不配备与LTE,例如谷歌的Nexus4提供了一个很有价值的钱比。索尼Xperia T和华为Ascend D1两个比较中档的竞争对手。让我们来看看,其LTE功能是否开启三星Galaxy快递成逢低买入。

Case

How we test - Case

As mentioned before, the case of the Samsung Galaxy Express resembles closely that of the Samsung Galaxy S3. Only the speaker moves down a bit on the back, while both the front camera and the ambient light sensor are shifted to the other side on the front. In addition, the screen of the Galaxy Express is 0.3 inches smaller than that of the Galaxy S3, yielding a reduced device height and width. Still, the Galaxy Express is thicker by 0.5 millimeters thicker and also heavier by 5 grams.

Our test device is currently only available in white. It is definitely a slick smartphone: As with the Galaxy S3, a chrome-colored frame runs along its sides and its round, almost organic shape helps set its design apart from Apple. It surface feels great, even though the backside acts as a fingerprint-magnet.

Build quality is very good, despite Samsung's choice of materials (plastics). The rear panel can be removed completely. It is very thin, light and can be bent, but this is not noticeable once it snaps back on the base units. Indeed, the Samsung Galaxy Express feels very sturdy and cannot be bent out of shape.

正如之前所提到的,类似于密切的情况下,三星Galaxy快速的三星Galaxy S3。只有扬声器的移动了一点就回来了,而无论是前置摄像头和环境光传感器被转移到另一侧的前面。此外,银河快的屏幕是0.3英寸小于银河S3,得到降低装置的高度和宽度。尽管如此,银河快车厚度由0.5毫米厚,也由5克重。

我们的测试设备是目前仅适用于白色。这无疑是一个华而不实的智能手机:,由于与银河S3,铬色框架沿着其侧面和轮,几乎是有机的形状有助于其设计除了苹果。它表面感觉好极了,即使作为一个指纹磁铁的背面。


建设质量是很不错的,尽管三星所选择的材料(塑料)。在后面板可以完全除去。这是非常薄,轻,可以弯曲的,但是这是不引人注意的,一旦卡的基本单元上。事实上,三星Galaxy感觉非常坚固,不能弯曲的形状。

Connectivity

How we test - Connectivity

The Samsung Galaxy Express is powered by a Qualcomm system-on-a-chip which includes a Snapdragon S4 MSM8930 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz as well as an Adreno 305 GPU. The same SOC has been used in the HTC One SV, being classified by us as offering mid-range performance.

The Galaxy Express comes with 8 GBytes of flash storage, but only 4.69 GBytes of it are available for the user. This might be too little for some users, especially if many apps are to be installed. Still, hidden beneath the back panel lies a microSD card slot so that up to 32 GBytes of external memory are possible.

The volume rocker can be found on the left side of the smartphone. At the top, there is a 3.5mm Line In/Out port, on the right, the On/Off/Standby button can be found while the micro USB port sits at the bottom.

三星Galaxy Express是搭载了高通的芯片,其中包括了Snapdragon S4 MSM8930处理器,主频为1.2 GHz的以及Adreno305的GPU系统。同样SOC已经使用的HTC One SV,被归类由我们提供的中档性能。


银河快车配备了8 GB的闪存存储,但它只有4.69 GB的用户。这可能是一些用户太少,特别是如果要安装许多应用程序。不过,后面板下方的隐藏在于一个microSD卡插槽,这样是可能高达32 GB的外部存储器。

Software

All Galaxy series smartphones rely on Google's Android platform - including the Galaxy Express, which comes with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean pre-installed. Despite the availability of Android 4.2, Samsung has not yet managed to use the newer software version in most of its devices.

Much of the operating system remains unchanged apart from Samsung's typical TouchWiz interface and a few interesting apps and widgets: Flipboard arranges the user's messages from all activated social media (and other) accounts within one magazine-style app and comes with a widget. S Voice is Samsung's version of Siri, working almost as well as Apple's counterpart. AllShare Play allows the user to send content effortlessly to connected devices such as TVs or notebooks.

Unfortunately, there is also much unnecessary bloatware, apps, which have to be bought after an initial test phase or which can only be used with a subscription-based video streaming service. This quickly becomes annoying even after booting for the first time - Samsung should think twice about whether it wants to continue with such a disservice.

软件

所有的Galaxy系列智能手机的依赖于谷歌的Android平台 - ,包括银河快车上,它采用Android4.1.2果冻豆预装。尽管可用的Android4.2,三星尚未在其大部分设备使用较新的软件版本。


大部分的操作系统保持不变,除了从三星典型的TouchWiz界面和一些有趣的应用程序和窗口小部件:,Flipboard的安排从所有激活社交媒体在一本杂志风格的应用程序(和其他)帐户的用户的消息,并带有一个小部件。声音是三星的版本的Siri,工作差不多,也是苹果的对手。 AllShare功能播放,使用户可以毫不费力地将内容发送到连接的设备,如电视或笔记本电脑。


不幸的是,也有许多不必要的英国媒体报道,应用程序,其中有被买断后的初始测试阶段,或只能使用一种基于订阅的视频流媒体服务。这很快就变成恼人甚至在第一次启动后 - 三星应该三思是否要继续用这样的帮倒忙。

Communication & GPS

GPS test
GPS test

There is nothing to complain about with the numerous connectivity options the Galaxy Express offers. Most importantly, of course, it supports superfast LTE networks. With the right contract, up to 100 MBit/s downstream and up to 50 MBit/s upstream can be reached. The Galaxy Express supports all four GSM frequencies. Thus, it can be used in almost every single country in the world to make telephone calls. Its Wi-Fi modem supports both the 2.4 GHz and the less common 5 GHz bands. NFC and the new Bluetooth 4.0 standard are also on board.

The GPS sensor is very reliable and fast in finding enough satellites for a precise location. Of course, this only works outdoors - when no satellites can be found, the smartphone falls back to its mobile signal and Wi-Fi-based location services.

有银河快车提供的众多连接选项,没什么可抱怨的。最重要的是,当然,它支持超高速LTE网络。有了正确的合同高达100 Mbit/ s的下行速率和高达50 Mbit / s上行可以达到。银河Express支持所有四个GSM频率。因此,它可以被用来在世界上几乎每一个国家拨打电话。其Wi-Fi调制解调器支持2.4 GHz和不太常见的5 GHz频段。 NFC和新的蓝牙4.0标准也登上。


GPS传感器是非常可靠和快速找到足够的卫星的精确位置。当然,这仅适用于户外活动 - 在没有卫星可以发现,智能手机回落到其手机信号和基于Wi-Fi的定位服务。

Telephone Functions

The telephone app of Google Android works very well, so why change it? Accordingly, all Samsung does is to tweak some colors. People who are used to Android will immediately feel at home here, but even newcomers won't have any trouble making their first call. All contacts stored within the user's Google account will be loaded automatically.

Cameras & Multimedia

There is both a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and a LED flash on the back and a 1.2 megapixel front camera for video calls. This is on par with most mid-range devices, still, the HTC One SV's front camera offers a slightly higher resolution.

Pictures made by the main camera are quite sharp on a first glance, but lack some punch in terms of color rendition. Zooming in reveals some fuzziness, somewhat mitigating the initial impression of its sharpness. The front camera also yields slightly dull and blurry pictures. The main camera is capable of taking videos with a nominally smooth frame rate of 25 fps, but they stutter during swift panning motions.

The Samsung Galaxy Express is capable of handling a large variety of video formats, both streamed from the internet and stored locally. Jumping to a different part of the video rarely causes noticeable delays. The high contrast ratio and vibrant colors of the screen in combination with more than decent speakers result in a joyful video experience.

电话功能

谷歌Android的电话应用程序工作得很好,为什么要改变呢?因此,所有的三星确实是,调整一些颜色。人们谁使用到Android将立即宾至如归的感觉,但即使是新人将不会有任何麻烦,他们的第一次通话。所有联系人存储在用户的谷歌帐户将被自动加载。

相机及多媒体

有一颗500万像素自动对焦摄像头,背面的LED闪光灯和120万像素的前置摄像头用于视频通话。这是看齐,仍然与大多数中档器件的HTC One SV的前置摄像头,提供了一个稍高的分辨率。


由主摄像头的图片上乍一看相当犀利,但缺乏一些拳打在色彩还原方面。放大揭示了一些模糊性,其清晰度有所缓解的初步印象。前置摄像头也得到了略显沉闷和模糊的图片。主摄像头为能够名义上流畅的帧率为25 fps拍摄影片,但他们在迅速平移运动口吃。


三星Galaxy Express是能够处理大量的各种视频格式,无论是从互联网传输并存储在本地。跳转到不同的视频部分很少引起明显的延迟。高对比度和鲜艳的色彩组合在屏幕的多体面的扬声器在欢乐的视频体验。

Accessories

The smartphone ships with nothing but the obligatory headphones. There are many accessories on Samsung's website, however, the website is confusingly designed. Apart from replacement batteries and the new universal docking stations (which also work with non-Samsung devices thank to their micro USB connection), numerous headsets, car device cradles, bags and much more can be bought, though it might be prudent to compare their prices with those of third-party offerings.

Warranty

The Galaxy Express ships with 24 months of warranty. In case of a malfunction, the device must be returned to the vendor. Alternatively, Samsung's hotline may be addressed. An overview over authorized Samsung service partners for repairs can be found on Samsung's website. No warranty extension for smartphones is offered from Samsung itself.

饰品

智能手机附带的不过是强制性的耳机。在三星的网站上有很多配件,但是,该网站是容易混淆的设计。除了更换电池和新的通用基座(与非三星设备的感谢他们的微型USB连接),众多的耳机,车载设备的摇篮,袋,更可以买,但它可能是审慎的比较与第三方产品的价格。



银河快车会用24个月的保修。在出现故障的情况下,必须将设备退还给供应商。另外,三星的热线可能加以解决。三星的网站上可以找到三星授权服务合作伙伴进行维修的概述。无保修期延长为智能手机提供从三星本身。

Input Devices & Controls

The virtual keyboard is just Google's standard design. If this is deemed unsatisfying, many alternatives can be found in the Google Play Store. Still, even the standard keyboard offers many settings and we felt that typing was fast and unproblematic. Switching between the landscape and portrait modes of the keyboard was also rather swift, leading to a satisfying workflow.

虚拟键盘仅仅是谷歌的标准设计。如果这被视为不令人满意,可以找到许多替代品在谷歌Play商店。不过,即使是标准键盘提供了许多设置,我们认为,打字速度快,没有问题的。键盘之间的横向和纵向模式切换也相当迅速,导致到一个满意的工作流程。

Display

How we test - Display

Samsung has been using AMOLED displays in its smartphone lineup for ages. These screens consist of many organic light emitting diodes which don't rely on any background lighting, yielding better contrast ratios, more saturated colors and decreased power consumption. The main disadvantage of AMOLED displays lies with their shorter lifetimes and a reduction in luminance over time - still, with typical smartphone lifecycles of around 2 years this shouldn't have any significant effects.

The AMOLED display of the Galaxy Express offers a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels (thus sporting an aspect ratio of 16:9) and a screen size of 4.5 inches. Its resolution is the same as those of some other mid-range phones such as the Huawei Ascend D1, the Nokia Lumia 820 or the HTC One SV, while both the Google Nexus 4 and the Sony Xperia T offer a resolution of 720p for the same price.

AMOLED displays are almost never as bright as classical LED displays (accordingly, the Samsung Galaxy S3 was a lot dimmer than e.g. the iPhone 5), and the Samsung Galaxy Express is no exception to this rule. Actually, it is worse off than all of its competitors, achieving 258.2 cd/m². The best by far among the direct competition is the Sony Xperia T with an average brightness 470.1 cd/m².

三星一直采用AMOLED显示器在其智能手机阵容的年龄。这些画面由许多有机发光二极管不依靠任何背景照明,产生更好的对比度,色彩更饱和,并降低功耗。 AMOLED显示器的主要缺点在于较短的寿命和亮度随着时间的推移减少 - 仍然是典型的智能手机的生命周期2年左右,这不应该有任何重大影响。


银河快车提供的AMOLED显示屏,分辨率为800×480像素(体育宽高比为16:9)和一个4.5英寸的屏幕尺寸。其他一些中档手机,如华为升D1,诺基亚Lumia820的HTC One SV,而谷歌Nexus4和索尼的XperiaŤ提供720p分辨率相同,它的分辨率是相同的价格。


AMOLED显示器是几乎从来没有亮如古典LED显示屏(据此,三星Galaxy S3是如iPhone 5的很多调光比),三星Galaxy Express是没有例外。其实,这更糟糕的是比所有竞争对手,达到258.2坎德拉/平方米。之间的直接竞争中迄今为止最好的是索尼Xperia T与平均亮度470.1坎德拉/平方米。

Brightness Distribution: 85 %
Center on Battery: 258 cd/m²
Contrast: 6450:1 (Black: 0.04 cd/m²)

Contrast is usually a strong suit of AMOLED displays, since they are capable of simply turning pixels off, rendering a true black without any backlighting. Accordingly, the black levels of the Samsung Galaxy Express are formidable with just 0.04 cd/m², yielding a contrast ratio of 6450:1. Only other OLED-devices like the Nokia Lumia 820 come close. At least nominally, even high-end devices such as the iPhone 5 fall behind.

During real-life usage, colors were vivid, contrast were strong and blacks were indeed very dark. Everything is very sharp and quite brilliant - if we didn't know about the resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, we would grade it as higher as it actually is.

Below, we have posted screenshots of our color analysis down with the CalMan software and a colorimeter. Reds have the worst color accuracy. Blues are strongly under-saturated - this is probably done on purpose to guarantee a long-time steadiness of image quality, since blue pixels age faster than their green and red counterparts.

AMOLED显示器的对比度通常是一个强项,因为他们有能力,只需转动的像素,呈现真正的黑色,没有任何背光。因此,黑电平的三星Galaxy Express的强大只有0.04坎德拉/平方米,产生的对比度为6450:1。只有其他的OLED设备,如诺基亚Lumia820接近。至少在名义上,甚至高端的设备,如iPhone5落后。


在现实生活中的使用,颜色生动,对比强烈,黑人的确很暗。一切都非常尖锐,相当辉煌 - 如果我们不知道的,分辨率为800×480像素,我们会档次更高,因为它实际上是。


下面,我们已经发布的截图我们的色彩分析与卡尔曼软件和色度计。红军最差的色彩精确度。蓝军强烈下饱和 - 大概是这样做的目的就是为了保证长时间平稳的图像质量,,因为蓝色像素年龄速度比他们的绿色和红色。

Thanks to its great contrast ratio, outdoor usage of the Samsung Galaxy Express is no issue despite its low brightness. Everything remains well recognizable, at least on a cloudy day. In direct sunlight, the reflective display makes matters worse, strongly reducing outdoor readability.

由于其巨大的对比度,户外使用的三星Galaxy快递是没有问题的,尽管它的低亮度。一切仍然很好辨认,至少在一个阴天。在阳光直射下,反射式显示器使事情变得更糟,户外可读性强还原。

Viewing angles are superb, as always with AMOLED displays. Full readability of all screen contents is guaranteed up to extremely sharp angles, with a minor bluish cast being the only image distortion.

Performance

How we test - Performance

The Samsung Galaxy Express comes equipped with a Qualcomm SOC which includes a Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8930 with two cores and a CPU clock speed of 1.2 GHz as well as an Adreno 305 graphics chip. With these components, the Galaxy Express manages to secure a place in the upper mid-range of our competitors. It is not as fast as the Google Nexus 4, but we noticed neither any stuttering nor lags, thus the Express moniker of Samsung's smartphone seems well-deserved.

三星银河快车配备了高通SOC其中包括了Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8930的两个核心和CPU时钟速度为1.2 GHz,以及Adreno305的图形芯片。有了这些组件,银河快车管理,以确保我们的竞争对手在上中档的地方。谷歌Nexus4,它是没有那么快,但我们发现没有任何口吃也不滞后,因此三星的智能手机的快速的绰号似乎当之无愧。

The graphics chip has already demonstrated its laudable performance during our review of the HTC One SV, but again, it does not beat the Google Nexus 4. Rather, it remains on par with the HTC phone, staying slightly ahead of both the Sony Xperia T and the Huawei Ascend D1.

More demanding benchmarks like 3DMark or the GLBenchmark 2.7 end in a stuttering mess. During GLBenchmark 2.7, our test device didn't manage to exceed an average of 12 frames per second, while the benchmark ran much more smoothly on a Google Nexus 4 with 20 fps. Luckily, most applications and even games shouldn't put such a strain on the GPU.

图形芯片已经证明其值得称道的表现,在我们审查的HTC One SV,但同样,它不击败谷歌的Nexus4。相反,它仍然与HTC手机看齐,保持略微领先于索尼Xperia T和华为Ascend D1。

Games

As mentioned, the Qualcomm Adreno 305 is a mid-tier graphics solution which should be sufficient for most recent mobile games. Despite failing the more demanding 3D benchmarks, casual games such as Angry Birds: Star Wars or Temple Run run smoothly. We didn't even notice any lag in action games such as Zombiewood or Shadow Gun: Dead Zone, a sophisticated 3D shooter. Gamers will also be glad to hear that touchscreen reaction was both fast and reliable.

如前所述,高通Adreno305是中间层的图形解决方案,最近手机游戏应该是足够的。尽管失败的更为苛刻的3D基准,休闲游戏,如“愤怒的小鸟:星球大战或庙运行流畅运行。我们甚至没有注意到任何滞后等动作游戏如Zombiewood或暗影之枪:“死区”,一个复杂的3D射击游戏。玩家也将高兴地听到,触摸屏的反应是既快速又可靠。

Emissions

How we test - Emissions

Temperature

In the case of smartphones, the case temperature is even more important than with notebooks or tablets, since the device is almost exclusively held in its user's hands. Samsung has delivered very good work in this regard: Even under full load, temperatures never exceed 33.6 degrees Celsius, while next to no temperature increase (up to 29.2 degrees) occurs when the smartphone remains idle.

A comparison with its competitors reveals a considerable difference. None of them get uncomfortably hot, but stills, the Nokia Lumia 820 for example reaches 48 degrees under full load with none of the other smartphones staying below 38 degrees.

在智能手机的情况下,这样的温度比与笔记本电脑或片剂更重要的是,由于该设备几乎完全是在它的用户的手中持有。三星在这方面提供了很好的工作:即使在满载情况下,温度不会超过摄氏33.6度,而旁边没有温度的升高(29.2度)的智能手机仍然闲置时发生。

而其竞争对手的比较揭示了一个相当大的差异。他们没有一个令人不安的热点,但剧照,例如诺基亚Lumia820在满载情况下达到48度,38度以下的其他智能手机都没有。

Speakers

The tiny speaker on the lower backside offers decent sound quality. Only at maximum volume do high-pitched sounds begin to roar, otherwise music and videos sound rich and lush. Hands-free call quality is good enough to easily understand one's counterpart.

背面下部的微小的扬声器提供了不俗的音质。只有在最大音量高亢的声音开始怒吼,否则听起来丰富和郁郁葱葱的音乐和视频。免提通话质量不够好,很容易地理解一个人的对手。

Voice Quality

The Samsung Galaxy Express offers a very good voice quality, directly via the speaker phone as well as when using the included headset. Speech can always be understood well without being distorted by ambient noise.

三星Galaxy Express提供了一个很好的声音质量,直接通过手机的扬声器,以及当使用随机附赠的耳机。语音总是可以被理解,不被扭曲的环境噪声。

Energy Management

How we test - Battery Life

Power Consumption

Despite its decent performance, the Samsung Galaxy Express is not very power-hungry. Exactly the opposite is true: Power consumption levels are less than they are for all its competitors. Power consumption levels of up to 2.2 watts under full load are less than for all its competitors - a nice surprise since the HTC One SV (which is equipped with the same CPU and GPU) uses at least 40 percent more power in all situations. This difference is probably due to the AMOLED display used in the Samsung Galaxy Express. Thus - in combination with the extra-large battery - these low power consumption levels should help the Galaxy Express to excel in terms of battery life.

尽管其不俗的性能表现,三星Galaxy Express是不是很耗电。完全相反的是真实的:电力消费水平比他们少是其竞争对手。到2.2瓦的功耗水平下满负荷低于所有竞争对手 - 的HTC One SV(配备相同的CPU和GPU)一个惊喜,因为使用在所有的情况下,至少有40%以上的功率。这种差异可能是由于AMOLED显示屏三星Galaxy Express的使用。因此 - 结合超大电池 - 这些低功耗水平应该帮助银河快车到Excel在电池续航方面。

Battery Runtime

12:30 hours while idle are just average. The true strengths of the Samsung Galaxy Express are revealed in the Wi-Fi test which comes close to actual usage, with new websites being opened once or twice per minute. It takes 10:30 hours until the battery finally dies. This is superb, and far better than what most of the competition achieves. Only the Nokia Lumia 820 exceeds these 10:30 hours, running up to 12 hours. But it gets even better, especially so for mobile gamers: Under full load, the Samsung Galaxy Express manages to squeeze up to 5:33 hours out of its battery, much more than all its competitors.

12:30时,空闲时只是平均水平。透露的三星Galaxy快速的Wi-Fi测试接近实际使用情况,新网站被打开一次或两次,每分钟的真正优势。 10:30时,直到电池终于死了。这是一流的,远远好于大多数的竞争达到。只有诺基亚Lumia820超过10:30时,运行时间长达12小时。但它会变得更好,尤其是手机玩家:满负荷情况下,三星Galaxy挤5:33小时的电池,远远超过其竞争对手。

Verdict

How we test - Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Express offers a lot of what we like to see in a smartphone: A brilliant display, great battery life as well as high application and gaming performance. Many of its competitors can’t keep up with the Galaxy Express, although some are ahead in terms of build quality and screen resolution.

There are still just a few LTE-enabled devices out there, letting the Galaxy Express stand out even more. In the same price range, merely the HTC One SV and the Nokia Lumia 820 offer similar data transfer speeds. Those who don’t want to switch to the also rather intuitive Windows Phone 8 OS can only choose between the HTC One SV and the Samsung Galaxy Express. The HTC’s build quality is better, but the Galaxy Express offers a larger display and slightly superior battery life. Still, these differences are just marginal so that it ultimately comes down to personal preference.

The only counterarguments against the Samsung Galaxy Express are centered on its low display resolution and its color choice – only a white model is available at the time of this writing. Still, if LTE is deemed important and if money is tight, then it doesn’t seem possible to go wrong with this smartphone – in this case, we can recommend the Samsung Galaxy Express full-heartedly.

三星Galaxy Express提供了很多我们喜欢看到在智能手机:绚丽的显示效果,电池寿命以及较高的应用程序和游戏性能。许多其竞争对手无法跟上银河快车,虽然有些超前建设质量和屏幕分辨率方面。


还有短短几年支持LTE的设备在那里,让银河快车更加引人注目。在相同的价格范围内,只是HTC SV和诺基亚Lumia820提供了类似的数据传输速度。谁不想切换也相当直观的Windows Phone8操作系统的只能选择之间的HTC One SV和三星银河快车。 HTC的建造质量较好,但银河快车提供了一个更大的显示屏,略优于电池寿命。尽管如此,这些差异只是边际,所以它最终归结为个人喜好。


对三星Galaxy快递唯一的反驳都集中在其显示分辨率低,它的颜色选择 - 在写这篇文章的时候,只有一个白色的模型可用。尽管如此,如果LTE被认为是重要的,如果资金紧张,那么它不似乎可能去错了这款智能手机 - 在这种情况下,我们可以为您推荐三星Galaxy Express的全情投入。
