A very entry-level smartphone that cuts a few too many corners to be worth the little bit of savings it offers

The Galaxy Stellar isn't a bad phone, but it isn't a great one, either. It's pretty much exactly what it looks like: a very low-end phone designed to be free with a new contract. It has good performance, and a decent if unremarkable screen. So it might suit some people well.

Has almost all the top end specs we love from Samsung while coming in a decent package at a fair price

The Samsung Galaxy Stellar is a bit of a toss up here. When we said nearly free throughout this review we meant it. You can have this device absolutely free with a new 2-year contract from Verizon. The only downside is you’ll pay $50 in-store and wait on a mail-in-rebate. In the end however you’ll... More
The Samsung Galaxy Stellar is a bit of a toss up here. When we said nearly free throughout this review we meant it. You can have this device absolutely free with a new 2-year contract from Verizon. The only downside is you’ll pay $50 in-store and wait on a mail-in-rebate. In the end however you’ll have a higher mid-range smartphone that will treat you right for years to come and you won’t pay a penny for it after the rebate.
The Samsung Galaxy Stellar certainly isn’t the best smartphone around, from Samsung or otherwise when it comes to Verizon’s lineup. However for the price of free you get a package that is really hard to compete with. For those that are new to smartphones or just doesn’t have the funds for a $199 phone this is absolutely perfect. Id clearly take the Samsung Galaxy Nexus over this phone for the 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display, but it does have an older processor that isn’t quite as fast. It really is a toss up and in the end comes down to the price. If free.99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate sounds good to you then you’ll certainly want to pick this up. We really can’t knock this phone or Samsung for the approach they’ve taken. Enjoy it and the additional pictures below.

A budget-priced smartphone that still has some decent hardware

Yes, it’s true that the Stellar can’t really be considered “the best” in any way. If you’re a person who is always on the lookout for the best and you’ve made it this far in the review, I’m sorry to say that you’ve just wasted your time. This phone clearly... More
Yes, it’s true that the Stellar can’t really be considered “the best” in any way. If you’re a person who is always on the lookout for the best and you’ve made it this far in the review, I’m sorry to say that you’ve just wasted your time. This phone clearly isn’t for those who want to brag about their phone’s specs, nor is for those who want to pull a sexy smartphone out of their pocket and make the lowly masses jealous in doing so. If you’re looking for a budget-priced smartphone that still has some decent hardware though, the Galaxy Stellar is a good choice.
