Samsung Galaxy 5 (GT-i5500)

1.9/10 💬 Comment

The Samsung GT-i5500 Galaxy 5 is a simple smartphone, but not lacking features such as GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G web browsing through HSDPA network.

The advantages of the Galaxy 5 are the price and connectivity, but the camera is simple, the internal storage is small and the 2.8-inch touchscreen is not multitouch.

The Android of the Samsung GT-i5500 Galaxy 5 is the 2.1 (Eclair) and you can update it officially only to version 2.2 (Froyo), but there are those who have already upgraded to version 2.3 (Gingerbread) by unofficial ways.
