[First Lesson]Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus Review

Introduction

With the Galaxy Trend Plus, Samsung is aiming to grab the attention of those consumers in need of a brand-name smartphone that doesn't break the bank. Retailing for under $200 off contract, it offers a decent 4-inch screen, a usable 5MP camera, a dual-core CPU clocked at 1.2GHz, and Android 4.2 in charge of the show. Seems like a good deal, doesn't it? Well, don't be so sure about that as the Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus isn't exactly a flawless handset. Yet it does have its strengths as well. Read on as we walk you through all you need to know about it.

Design

Picking up the Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus instantly induces a sense of déjà vu in our minds. The phone carries a striking resemblance to many of the company's previous handsets Its proportions make it easy to hold and operate with a single hand, while its curvy sides further improve the handset's ergonomics factor. On the downside, the phone feels cheap, which it actually is. Its body is made of plastic, the ordinary kind, with a silvery gray trim around the side and a removable plastic back cover treated to a matte finish. It is available in either black or white.
