Samsung I9003 Galaxy SL review: Through different eyes

2 February 2011
Success breeds imitation and we have the next Galaxy SL remake to bear witness. But make no mistake about it – the Samsung I9003 is not just another clone, with changes running skin deep. We are talking a new screen, CPU and a different battery here...

      What can I say with this phone? Still a good phone for me. I own this and I am not a heavy user. If you are a heavy user, then I would recommend you buy SGS II. If you're really not that heavy user, then this is still a good phone.

      SGS II is the best phone right now. But does not mean it is the perfect phone. But this I9003, well not a bad choice.

        The galaxy gt i9003 is a worst cell phone ever i used. it is not a smart phone. we need more smart to use this phone. keep 2 bateries.. special techinics to synch the phone with car.. etc..

        a worst phone ever used... not worth for money

              As per the GSMArena's Review and Phone Specs, The Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 has TV-Out feature through the the Standard 3.5mm Jack. When I had the opportunity to use this phone I found that there is no option to enable the TV-Out feature, unlike in the original Galaxy S I9000 there is an option present in the Display Settings to enable the TV-Out feature and choose the TV system (PAL/NTSC). It would be better if GSMArena verifies the same and make the appropriate changes in the Review and the Phone Specifications section so as the buyers would not be mislead.

                    Hey guys, I've Updated my flash player to 10.3 but it still can't play videos from youtube. Any suggestions? & Also, I downloaded some apps, then my RAM memory gets low, even if they are not running, most of the time, i see 350-370MB Of RAM usage... Does downloading apps also affects the RAM Memory even if you're not running the apps?

                    Thanks Guys. Hope Someone will help.

                                  Hi,

                                  I bought samsung galaxy I9003 15 days back and battery back up is not good. I am frustrated with this mobile. It takes 4 hours for full battery charge and i can use max 6 hours when the mobile is in idle without playing any games or watching videos. Please let me know how increase battery back up. I have used only nokia mobile and i was happy with those. First time i tried samsung and not happy with this.
