Samsung have recently put life into two smartphone twins; the Galaxy 3 and the Galaxy Apollo. The devices do not suffer too much from sibling rivalry, as they are close to being identical. Neverheless, what are the difference's that lie between the two?
Truth be told, not a lot. Both devices sport a 3.2 "16M-color capacitive touchscreen with WQVGA resolution and multi-touch input support. In general, the screens are okay.
Similar to many smartphones on the market, both Galaxy phones are running off the Google Android operating system. This OS offers many Google favorites like Mail, Search and the Market, which contains a catalog of downloadable content.
In terms of connectivity, both devices offer a great range of options. These include dual-band 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS and microUSB. One downfall however is that the GPS navigation options are not free with the handset. Internet browsing on the two devices is very good; however it once again suffers from the lower the resolution screen. In addition to this, neither Galaxy devices carry Flash support, which does limit some areas of browsing.
The camera is of quite a strong standard. It is 3.2 mega-pixels with autofocus, face and smile detection, alongside a geo-tagging function. The camera interface is basic and understandable, however none devices feature a dedicated shutter key. The picture quality is reliably good, but no good for those looking to take high-quality and printable pictures. Unfortunately, video recording is not up to a solid standard.
Both devices offer a good musical experience, with excellent audio output and a 3.5mm audio jack.
These two devices is a solid offering from Samsung with the less-pricey yet more than capable middle range smartphones.
