If you’re on a budget and want an Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy 550, simply known as the Galaxy 5, is worth considering.

It runs on Android 2.1 and is powered by a decent 600MHz processor. SWYPE comes pre-installed and aside from WiFi and Bluetooth, the Galaxy 5 also boasts 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity.

Imaging however is not the 5's strongest suit. It ships with a sub-standard 2-megapixel camera and lacks a front-facing camera which makes video calling out of the question. Another downer is its 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display which doesn’t offer with multi-touch support.

What the 5 does have to offer is a no-frills Android phone that’s well within most people’s budget range. It’s got the basics and performs well considering its feature-set and price. Clearly not a spectacular phone, but its a standouts among its entry-level counterparts.

I have owned this phone for over 9 months now and not impressed . The OS cannot be updated through kies (samsungs update software). It is a battery killer of a phone. I had to disable a few features to help save on battery life just to allow me to get a few days out of it before recharging. I might text... More

Terrible Smart Phone

If you are looking for a budget Android, stay away from this one. I've had it for 5 months now and it is slow, over sensitive, battery consuming, signal poor and perpetually loses connection to the SD card. The screen is a bit too small for texting and if you don't have a screen guard, the... More
