on hand.
The
Samsung Galaxy Royal Style (Galaxy R) has been released recently.
This is a phone designed for Korean market
but we can use it normally. The highlight of Galaxy Royal Style is that it is
equipped with dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 CPU, 2000 mah battery,
Super AMOLED 4.3-inch screen, qHD resolution. Galaxy R runs on Android 4.0.3
operating system, it owns TouchWiz interface and smart features on the Galaxy
SIII model. Here are some comments and reviews about this product.

Compatibility
issues of SMS, 3G and networks
The phone does not lock network, so it can
be used well with all networks. The default ROM version of all Korean phone
prescribes 80 characters in length. However, with Galaxy R, you can use
Handcent SMS software (free on Android Market) to send enough 160 characters or
even longer. The phone has 3G, and battery life is longer than Galaxy S2. The
machine runs very cool even using powerful S4 chip.
2. Reviews on design
About design, Galaxy Royal Style is not
different much with the white Galaxy S2. About size, Galaxy Royal Style
has dimension of 128 x 64.5 x 9.8 mm compared to the Galaxy S2 (125.3 x 66.1 x
8.5 mm), Galaxy R is longer, slender, and thicker than international S2 Galaxy,
but Galaxy R still looks elegant, solid and heavy. It is familiar with the hard
Home button at centre. This button is small, long and prominent, fashionable, and
you may find it is hard to press because you are familiar with touch button.
The back is covered by the shell (just like
Galaxy S1), and 5mpx camera (this is a regret of this Galaxy Royal. If the
camera was 8mpx, it would be the upgraded version on processor, battery of the
Galaxy S2). The phone uses microSIM, you need to cut SIM to use this Android. Advantages
of this Galaxy Royal are hand fitting, small, long battery life, and removable
battery.
About
design, Galaxy Royal Style is not different much to the white Galaxy S2.
3. Actual use
Firstly, I run Quadrant Standard software.
Comparison chart shows, this device has slower CPU than HTC One X. However, the
performance of memory processing and saving is much faster (in case the games
need to load data from external memory into RAM and process), so that the score
of Quadrant is approximate with One X. Web experience with Vellamo is also
good, it shows that the Galaxy R can satisfy this well.
The smart features using sensor like Galaxy
S3. You can activate in the settings. They include:
o
Direct dial feature: call a person while you are
in message interface
o
Intelligent warning: identify messages and
missed calls
o
Soft touch to move the list up
o
Tilting the phone to see 3D effect in Gallery or
while browsing web
o
Screenshot for the features that I mentioned
above
The
score of Quadrant is approximate with One X
