Design:

Samsung’s Galaxy Y Pro Duos is another touch and type Android smartphone from manufacturer. In this price range, it has plenty to offer more than its competitors. The design is unique and simple to operate. The dimensions of this device are 110.8mm, 63.5mm and 11.9 mm in height, width and depth. Its screen size measures 2.6 inches diagonally and is a multi touch display with TFT capacitive touchscreen display type.

The right side of the device holds a power/lock key but lacks with a dedicated camera key. The left side hold the dedicated volume control key whereas, the 3.5mm earjack is placed on its top. The bottom is left bare with just USB connector.

Below this is a full QWERTY keypad. On its back side is a 3.2 Megapixels camera lens and loudspeaker grill. The phone is light in weight of just 112.3 gm. The Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos is a strong build phone that fits best in your hand.

Interface/Operating System:

The good part of this phone is that it runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system. This operating system suits this phone the best and the spontaneous Touch Wiz interface works great and is easy to access. But, multitasking and swapping applications is not easy because of it slow processor.

Features:

Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos in this price range offers multiple features and access to various applications. ThinkFree handles all your Office documents, including PDFs, for simple, productive viewing and editing. It comes in built with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. which gives you access to stay in touch with multiple features like multimedia content sharing, group chats and animated images. FM stereo with RDS also exist in Galaxy Y Pro Duos that updates you with latest news and many FM stations. Multitasking and swapping applications is not easy because of it slower RAM and weak processor. The screen resolution is low and it has no adobe flash support. The phone comes with VGA secondary camera but, that cannot be complained in this price range. For connectivity it has a Bluetooth BT 3.0, USB for mass storage and PC connection, Android Internet HTML Browser, Wi-Fi and aGPS. It comes with many basic features like; calendar, organizer, calculator, etc. all are in-built. Overall, the phone is worth money but lacks with few advancements that could have made it the best in this price range.

Camera:

This is probably the not so good section of Galaxy Y Pro Duos. It comes with a normal 3.2 megapixels main camera and VGA front camera. The main camera is lacking with auto focus and LED flash. But, it lacks with a dedicated camera key. We were expecting a minimum of 5 megapixels camera for this device as many of the devices in this price range offers it. But, the image quality from its 3.2 megapixels camera is good but with proper lighting and good hand. And for video callers it offers a VGA front camera. You can share the images clicked to Social networking Sites straightaway and that is the good thing about this phone.
