• Low budget, good quality phone from Samsung
  Aayush Agarwal (May 2, 2014) on Gadgets 360
  Galaxy S Duos 2 is the successor to Samsung's "S Duos" which was launched as a mid range phone a while back.The looks are same as for any other Galaxy device with 4 inch WVGA LCD display that provides an average viewing quality. The 5MP fromt camera just manages to take decent pictures and video recordings. This dual sim phone is powered by 1.2 GHz Broadcom processor and the new VidoeCore 4 GPU that proves great for gaming. However the 768 MB of RAM proves to be insufficient with frequent lags and slowing app opening times. The new version also gets android upgrade to 4.2.2 Jelly Bean along with an expandable SD memory of 64GB. The great battery life is also a plus for this model. Decent phone at good price for Samsung fans.

• Samsung galaxy s duos 2 -Best buy in rs.10000 segment
  Nirmal Krishnan (May 29, 2014) on Gadgets 360
  Its not the 'samesung' anymore. Its fast,stylish and worth every rupee. Decent specs at low price. Best buy for budget makers. 1. Build quality:- 3.5/5 --> Build quality is good same like other Samsung other galaxy series. 2. Processor:- 3/5--> Processor is ok. sometimes Lag or hang because of low ram but most of the times it is working fine. 3. Camera:- 4/5 --> Camera for this mobile is quite good at day time but night time with flash you can take good pictures. Video recording is also good. 4. Touch response:- 3.5/5 --> Touch response is quite good(butter-smooth). Typing is quite good. 5. Sound:- 3.5/5 --> Sound is crystal clear. You will be able to listen good music in loudspeaker and headphone mode as well. Voice call quality is very decent as it is having some other extra options like Clear sound/soft voice etc. This is a good phone under the 11K budget. But if you are heavy gamer then this is not useful for you because of Low internal memory. So please before buy think once as this is your hard earned money

• A good budget phone
  Aditya Kashyap (May 25, 2014) on Gadgets 360
  I ordered this phone from Flipkart on 23rd March and it was in my hands on 25th. I did very extensive research before buying this phone, asked friends, went to different mobile shops to experience it and compare prices. I had no restriction of budget but I did not want to go above 12000 as I did not require any super amazing features like a 42 megapixel camera or a large screen or even an extensive gaming mobile. Some of my requirements were that the phone should be handy and not have slate like screen which you cannot hold in one hand and which possibly doesn't fit in your pocket, clear voice quality and reliable brand name. Galaxy core was cut from my list as it did not fit my hand as comfortably as s duos 2 did. I also researched on Xperia M but I it could not survive on my list as I personally did not like its design and I also believe Samsung is sturdier than Sony phones and I am not into fragile screens and delicate body. So after extensive research for around one week I ordered Duos 2. The phone arrived and was in perfectly sealed condition and it was a pleasant surprise to operate it. During my research I had read somewhere that the touchwiz interface of Samsung can make the phone lag and we should change it to nova launcher . . I did it and It is super smooth. Soon I began downloading games like Temple Run and Subway Surf and they are working butter smooth like they do on iPhone. One major concern to me was the fast draining battery of this phone.. I would charge it all night and by evening it was done to 5 percent with minimal use. . So again here I downloaded DU battery saver from Google play store and changed the mode to 'long' also don't forget to optimize it from time to time. Another valuable tip that I got from a S4 user was to never charge the phone battery above 85% it is lethal to do that and you would swell your battery faster than ever if you daily charge your battery to 100%. I immediately paid heed to her suggestion and I don't know why but my battery seems to run longer when I charge max till 85%, try it. Google Now works really beautifully and I am amazed by the leap in technology in the last few years. One more thing that is important is to not overload the mobile with apps that you don't use instead keep only the apps that you use at least daily so as to make your mobile work smoothly. Also install an antivirus and keep an eye on the websites you visit and make sure they are not malicious. And clear the RAM plus end all the applications before you start playing a game. . which helps immensely on not only running the game smoothly but also conserves the battery. Also don't forget to reduce the screen brightness to save battery. Camera is also pretty nice. . Although I did not need a great or even a good camera as I already own a DSLR but this phone has a nice camera which is of course very handy and will not make me miss any moment where I do not have my canon. Great music player - Google music makes it even better experience and bright screen are some of the things that I like about this phone. Right now I cant think of any major cons (except battery) but will edit it if I come across some negative points of this phone in the near future (which I hope I do not) All in all, this can't be better with Filpkart giving it in 8829/- the least in the market (9800,9600 everywhere) Flipkart has captured the market and the mobile store owners are petrified of it . . one or two even told me that Flipkart sells fake stuff and stuff from grey market but had this been the case Filpkart would not have had millions of satisfied users. Also not to forget you get 100% money back guarantee within 30 days of purchase. (Would it give this guarantee had it been selling fake stuff? ) think for yourself and don't let go of this deal. . Heck of a phone and its a steal of a deal ! go grab it!

  Phone is nice and having good features.... pros:- - first thing is very Good Android Phone at this price range. - Dual Sim is the best deal at this price. - The display size(4'') is also quite good. - Another best feature at this price is 5 megapixel Camera along with LED flash. And also front camera. - Battery power is also not at all bad of 1500mAh. - Very good sound quality. - Along with 4GB internal Storage, provides Micro SD Card Support. cons:- -because of 768 MB RAM ,handset may hang if you are a heavy game player. -less stylish in comparison to lumia 525 which is of equal price. But overall, very good phone, with the best feature provided at a very reasonable range.

• Good one !!
  Sumit Chauhan (May 9, 2014) on Gadgets 360
  Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 is an upgrade to their earlier budget phone,Galaxy S Duos. I have given this on the basics of my experience !! -> Display and Build Quality This has 4 inch TFT display. The screen resolution 480 x 800 pixels is poor(~233 ppi pixel density) considering most phones coming at this price range ships with a qHD display at least.The viewing angles are good. The build quality and the design of the device is almost same as the old Galaxy S Duos. Plastic. -> Processor, GPU, Ram and Performance It is powered by a Cortex A9 dual core processor combined with a Broadcom VideoCore IV HW GPU.It only has 768MB ram of which only 360MB ram is availabe for application use. This combination under performs when comparing to the quadcore mediatek devices coming at this price range. This perhaps is not that visible in your day to day normal activities,but visible in benchmarks and while trying to play HD videos. -> Operating System This is running on 4.2 Jellybean under the hood. Like any other samsung device it has the same UI - Touchwiz Interface which is quite heavy and lags when you have a lot of apps installed and are running in the background. -> Benchmark Scores Quadrant Standard ? 3200+ ( Similarly priced Canvas 2.2 A114 scores 5900+ ) AnTuTu ? 11900+ ( Canvas 2.2 A114 scores 17000+ ) Nenamark 2 ? 55 fps ( Canvas 2.2 A114 scores 56 ) -> Camera and Media 5 MP shooter on the back is like any other device's camera at this price range - average.It gets very grainy in low ligh conditions. 1080P video recording is NOT supported. The front camera is a only VGA. This device cant play 1080P videos. Even using Mxplayer S/W rendering mode,1080P videos didn't run smoothly at all. Most Mediatek quadcore devices can play 1080P videos out of the box. -> Storage You CANNOT move/install apps on to the sdcard.So many big games cannot be even installed on this device. -> Battery Very disappointing.Only 1500mAH battery is included which cant even last a day ( average use ). Other devices shipping at this price range offers far better battery. For eg Xolo Q700 - 2400mAH. -> Verdict This is a good Samsung budget device,better than the old Galaxy S Duos,but keep in mind that other devices coming at this price range have far better specs and performance is better than this device. However one advantage it has over other devices is Samsung have reliable service centers all over india. I strongly recommend this to them who want a small budget phone with better build quality !!
