新款DUOS三星Galaxy GT-S6312智能手机测评
Editor's Note (May 2, 2013): The following review has not yet been edited for grammatical errors. A final draft of the review will be released soon.
For the original German review, see here.
Samsung Galaxy Young Duos or Samsung Galaxy Fame? At the first glance, Samsung's smartphone models are difficult to tell apart. The Samsung Galaxy Young and Galaxy Pocket Plus are the cheapest models of the big Galaxy smartphone family from Samsung. They are entry level models, which only share the family name, the rounded shape and the Android OS with the big models like the Galaxy S3 or the brand new Galaxy S4.
"Young" refers to the small size, which simplifies control with small hands, and the cheap price for a device that can house to SIM cards: The suggested retail price is 224 Euro, the internet price about 169 Euro.
However, in this price range, dual SIM solutions seem to be wide spread: The Sony Xperia E Dual, the Amoi N821 and the Jiayu G3 also offer this feature. The price of the Sony Xperia J is about similarly low, but it does only support a single SIM.
编者按(2013年5月2日):以下尚未被编辑语法错误。不久将公布最终草案审查。

三星Galaxy年轻二重奏或三星Galaxy名人堂的?乍看之下,三星的智能手机型号都难以分辨。三星银河年轻的和Galaxy Pocket Plus的是最便宜的机型,从三星银河智能手机的大家族。他们是入门级车型,其中只有共享姓氏,圆润的造型和Android操作系统的大车型,如银河S3或全新的银河S4。
“年轻”是指体积小,用小手简化了控制,和低廉的价格为一种装置,可以容纳到SIM卡的建议零售价为224欧元,169欧元左右的上网电价。
然而,在这个价格范围内,双SIM卡的解决方案似乎是广为流传:索尼Xperia E双,夏新N821和嘉鱼G3还提供了此功能。索尼XperiaĴ的价格大约是同样低,但它仅支持单SIM卡。
As already mentioned, our test model looks very much like the recently reviewed Galaxy Fame at the first glance. On closer examination, you'll find their shape slightly different, their cameras on different places and you'll the detect the white labeled "back" and "menu" buttons and the "Duos" logo on the front side.
Otherwise, the Samsung Galaxy Young Duos is, just as its brothers, completely made from plastics and has an appealing, rounded design. Today, the smartphone is available in white or dark blue. The glossy rear side, which unfortunately is a fingerprint magnet, is a feature the whole Galaxy family has in common. The phone has a solid build quality and resists pressure from all sides without yielding. Pressure against the rear side can be seen on the display.
如前所述,最近审查银河名人堂第一眼看上去非常像我们的测试模型。仔细观察,你会发现它们的形状略有不同,他们的相机在不同的地方,你会检测白色标记的“后退”和“菜单”按钮和“二重奏”标志的正面。
否则,三星Galaxy年轻的二重奏,就像它的兄弟,完全由塑料制成的,并有一个有吸引力的,圆润的设计。如今,智能手机是白色或深蓝色。不幸的是,一个指纹磁铁,光滑的背面,是整个银河家族有共同的一个功能。这款手机拥有一个坚实的基础质量和抵制来自各方的压力而不屈服。对后侧的压力可以看出,在显示屏上。
The handy Samsung Galaxy Young Duos features a SoC from Qualcomm, which contains a somewhat older Cortex A5 processor with single core and 1 GHz clock rate and an Adreno 200 graphics card. The performance of the two core components is modest, but at least Samsung incorporate relatively big 1,024 MB RAM. Only just under 1.5 GB of the 4 GB flash memory can be used for apps and files, as the operating system occupies the rest. You can use Micro SD cards with up to 64 GB to enhance the storage capacity.
方便的三星Galaxy年轻的二重奏设有一个SOC来自高通(Qualcomm),其中包含了有些老的Cortex A5处理器的单核和1 GHz的时钟速率和Adreno 200的图形卡。两个核心组件的性能是温和的,但至少三星将比较大的1,024 MB RAM。只有不到1.5 GB,4 GB快闪记忆体可用于应用程序和文件,作为操作系统占据了剩下的。您可以使用高达64 GB的Micro SD记忆卡,以提高存储容量。
Software
As all Galaxy smartphones our test model uses Google's operating system Android. Version 4.1.2 is the current version of the OS. Samsung only very carefully adapted the user interface of the OS with its TouchWiz interface. If you every used Android before, you will quickly find your way around.
Samsung does not install much software, but the "What's App" replacement ChatON and the personal organizer "S Planner" are available. "Samsung's App", an alternative app store, which requires both a Google account and a Samsung account, is the only annoying bloatware installed. You should better look in Google's Play Store for apps.
软件
由于所有Galaxy智能手机,我们的测试机型使用谷歌的Android操作系统。版本4.1.2中的当前版本的操作系统。三星非常仔细地适应其TouchWiz界面的用户界面的操作系统。如果你每使用了Android之前,你很快就会发现你的周围。
三星不安装太多的软件,但“什么是APP”更换的ChatON和个人组织者“S规划”。 “三星的应用程序”,另一种应用程序商店,这需要一个谷歌帐户和三星帐户,是的安装唯一恼人的英国媒体报道。在谷歌的Play商店的应用程序,你应该更好看。
Communication & GPS
Even for cheap smartphones, HSDPA is obligatory today. But, the Samsung Galaxy Young Duos does not support the fast HSDPA+ standard. Bluetooth Version 3.0 is also not up-to-date, but the WiFi module supports standards 802.11 b/g/n and WiFi Direct for communication with other devices. The WLAN reception is even stable and fast with three walls in between and in 10 meters distance.
A GPS module is also included, but our test model does not support the Russian satellite system GLONASS, while the Samsung Galaxy Fame does. Outdoors, it only takes the device a short time to find enough satellites to determine your position accurate to 10 meters.
Phone functions
As with most Android devices, it is very intuitive to use the phone. Apart from calling, the he telephone keypad also offers several other options: You can add numbers to the contacts, write message and even switch from ring tone to vibration there. It is smooth to switch from one SIM to the other. This can be done via the status bar at the top and does not require a reboot of the system.
Cameras & Multimedia
Because the Samsung Galaxy Young only has a single camera at the rear side, it can hardly be used for video telephony. The camera captures images with up to 2.048 x 1.536 pixel resolution or jerky videos in VGA resolution. In addition, the images are hardly acceptable, as the colors look pale and the image blurred.
通信与GPS
即使便宜的智能手机,HSDPA是强制性的。但是,三星Galaxy年轻二重奏不支持快速的HSDPA+标准。蓝牙3.0版还没有到日期,但标准WiFi模块支持802.11 B / G/ N无线网络直接与其他设备进行通信。 WLAN接收甚至是稳定和快速的三面墙壁之间,在10米距离。
GPS模块也包括在内,但我们的测试模型不支持俄罗斯的卫星系统GLONASS,而三星Galaxy名人堂。户外,设备只需要很短的时间找到足够的卫星,以确定您的位置精确到10米。
手机功能
与大多数Android设备,它是非常直观的使用手机。除了通话,他的电话键盘还提供了其他几个选项:您可以将号码添加到联系人,写邮件,甚至切换铃声振动。这是顺利从一个SIM卡切换到另一个。这是可以做到通过状态栏在顶部,不需要重新启动系统。
相机及多媒体
由于三星Galaxy杨只有一个单一的相机的后侧,它可以几乎不被用于视频电话。摄像头捕捉图像,最高达2.048所述1.536像素分辨率或生涩的VGA分辨率视频。此外,图像是难以接受的,因为颜色看起来苍白而模糊的图像。
Accessories
Apart from the tiny power adapter and a USB cable Samsung do not include any accessories. In this price range, Samsung smartphones do not come with a headset. While a lot of accessories are offered on Samsung's web site, hardly anything is especially designed for the Galaxy Young. You can also buy a replacement battery and a new power adapter there.
Warranty
Samsung smartphones come with a 24 month warranty. You can also invoke the warranty in other countries the mobile phone is sold. The customer has to send or bring the Galaxy Young in for repair. Samsung do not offer any warranty extensions.
饰品
除了从微小的电源适配器和USB电缆三星不包括任何配件。在这个价格范围内,三星智能手机与耳机不来。虽然三星的网站上提供大量的配件,几乎没有什么特别设计的银河年轻。您也可以购买更换用的电池和一个新的电源适配器。
保
三星智能手机配备了24个月的保修期。您还可以调用其他国家的手机销售保修。客户发送或带来银河年轻维修。三星不提供任何保修扩展。
Input Devices & Usage
Even on the very small 3.27 inch display of the Samsung Galaxy Young Duos you can still work comfortably with the standard keyboard of Android. However, with big fingers, it is difficult to reliably hit the small keys. Furthermore, you'll hardly see much of the display content in landscape mode if the keyboard is opened. There are other keyboard models are available in Google's Play Store, which allow adapting the keyboard to your taste.
即使在非常小的3.27英寸显示屏的三星Galaxy青年二重奏,你仍然可以舒适的工作与标准键盘的Android。然而,随着大手指,难以可靠地打小键。此外,你很难看到显示内容在横向模式下,如果打开键盘。有其他键盘机型可在谷歌的Play商店,让键盘适应您的口味。
In contrary to bigger Galaxy models, you won't find a brilliant Super-AMOLED-display in the cheap Samsung Galaxy Young Duos. You have to live with a conventional TFT display instead. It features a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, which is even low for such a small display.
On the other side, the brightness is rather impressive and can keep up with top models like the iPhone 5 or the Google Nexus 4: The test sample achieves an average brightness of 451.4 cd/m², but the distribution of brightness is not especially smooth and significantly falls towards the left in landscape mode.
更大的银河娱乐机型相反,你不会找到一个辉煌的超级AMOLED显示器在廉价的三星Galaxy青年二重奏。你必须要与传统的TFT显示屏,而不是生活。它拥有分辨率为320×480像素,这是这样一个小显示屏即使是低。
在另一边,亮度是相当可观的,能跟上的iPhone 5或谷歌Nexus4的顶配车型,如:测试样品达到451.4坎德拉/平方米的平均亮度,但亮度的分布是不是特别顺利,在横向模式下向左显着下降。
|
Brightness Distribution: 86 %
Center on Battery: 471 cd/m²
Contrast: 683:1 (Black: 0.69 cd/m²)
However, the contrast is not convincing. All devices of our comparison have a significantly higher contrast than the 683:1 of the Samsung Galaxy Young. It can only outperform then bigger Samsung Galaxy S Duos's contrast of 518:1. Accordingly the black value of 0.69 cd/m² is not as low as of other devices and black indeed looks notably grayish.
The screenshots of our color measurements depict that the color accuracy of the display is not especially high: Red and in particularly blue differ most notably from their ideal values. Of colors green tones are most accurately represented. Gray levels are not ideal too. Only very dark shades of gray do not differ too much from the ideal values.
然而,对比是没有说服力的。所有设备我们比较有显着更高的对比度比三星Galaxy年轻683:1。它只能跑赢大市,那么更大的三星Galaxy S二重奏518:1的对比度。因此,黑色值0.69坎德拉/平方米是不低的其他设备和黑色看起来的确特别是灰褐色。
颜色测量的截图描绘,显示的颜色精确度不是特别高:红色,尤其是蓝色的最显着的不同,他们的理想值。颜色绿色色调最准确地代表。灰度等级不理想。只有在非常暗色调的灰色不理想值相差太大。
The high brightness allows outdoor usage of the smartphone if the sky is overcast. It is not really comfortable and eye-friendly, but you can recognize something for short inputs. You can use the phone without problems in the shade or in bright rooms.
如果天空是灰蒙蒙的高亮度使户外使用智能手机。这是不是真的舒适和眼友好的,但你可以装作没看见短期输入。您可以使用手机在树荫下或在明亮的房间,没有任何问题。
Cheap TFT displays often suffer from narrow viewing angles and this also true for the Samsung Galaxy Young Duos to some extent: In portrait mode the contrast quickly falls and the colors invert when viewed from the sides. In contrast, the image even remains recognizable at acute angles when viewed from the top or bottom.
Samsung's Galaxy Young Duos and Sony's Xperia E dual do not only share the capability to take two SIM cards, but also the same SoC: the low performance single core Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227A CPU with 1 GHz clock rate and the Qualcomm Adreno 200 graphics solution are the core components. In addition, Samsung incorporate 1 GB RAM. So, the Galaxy Young Duos can also run demanding applications.
In the synthetic system benchmarks the Samsung Galaxy Young Duos is one of the slowest devices in our comparison. It performs significantly worse than the Sony Xperia E dual in the AnTuTu and Geebench benchmarks.

* ... smaller is better
Access to the 4 GB flash memory of the Samsung in the Galaxy Young Duo is very fast. It's a pity, that only 1.48 GB are free for apps and data once Android 4.1 is installed. You can increase the storage capacity by up to 64 GB with a microSD card, but not all apps can be installed on the additional memory.

Games
The small Samsung Galaxy Young is only suitable for games to some extent: First of all the display is very small and has a low resolution. So, it is sometimes impossible to read the texts in games. The control elements on the display, like virtual joysticks or buttons, are very small, too. But, this also reveals why Samsung call their phone "Young": Even children can reach all areas of the display with their small hands and control a game.
The performance of the Samsung Galaxy Young even suffices to run current 3D games, e.g. "ShadowGun: Dead Zone", but not completely without stuttering. The action shooter "Zombiewood" did not display cutscenes and you can observe a notable stuttering if a lot is going on. Furthermore, loading takes much longer than on faster smartphones.
Voice quality
The voice quality of the Samsung Galaxy Young is decent, but the voice of your conversational partner sounds somewhat muffled. However, our conversational partner in the conventional telephone network heard our voice loud and clear. Speech also sounds decent via speakers. While a rather high volume is possible, the sound begins to distort at about 90 % of the maximum volume.
Temperature
We appreciate that the Samsung Galaxy Young always remains cool regardless of the load. While idle the maximum temperature is 29 degrees Celsius and you will hardly notice that the device got warmer. Under load, the temperature steadily increases to up to 37.4 degrees Celsius. This is warm, but by no means uncomfortable.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 37.4 °C / 99 F, compared to the average of 35.1 °C / 95 F, ranging from 21.9 to 63.7 °C for the class Smartphone.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 35.9 °C / 97 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.4 °C / 83 F, compared to the device average of 32.8 °C / 91 F.
Speakers
As the small speaker is on the rear side, soft surfaces beneath the phone slightly dampen the sound. Otherwise, the sound reminds us on the Samsung Galaxy Fame's: bass-shy, but a powerful sound with a high maximum volume. Unfortunately, the speakers tend to boom on maximum volume. All things considered the sound is rather decent for such a small, cheap mobile phone.
Energy consumption
So far, the Samsung Galaxy Young performed average in many aspects and so it does in energy consumption. The Jiayu G3 with bigger display has an above average energy demand. Its maximum of 4.1 Watt significantly exceeds the 2.7 Watt of the Galaxy Young. All other devices in our comparison perform better here.
The Amoi N821 and the Jiayu G3 also require more energy than our test device while idle. The Sony Xperia J and Xperia E dual are about on par with the Galaxy Young here. Apart from the fact that the maximum energy consumption is too high the Galaxy Young is about class-average.

Battery Life
In regards of battery life the Samsung Galaxy Young performs rather average too: With its 4.81 Wh battery, it achieves a maximum runtime of 16:05 hours. This is significantly shorter than the Sony Xperia E dual's, which features a bigger battery. Because of their bigger displays the maximum battery lifes of the Amoi N821 and Jiayu G3 are also significantly shorter. In our WLAN test the Jiayu G3 and the Galaxy Young achieve an equal runtime of just under 8 hours. The Sony Xperia E dual performs better again.
Are you looking for the cheapest possible smartphone, but with full-fledged Android? With the Galaxy Young Duo, Samsung does not only offer such. Thanks to the phone's compact size, it is also decent for children and persons with small hands. However, it is slightly thicker than many high-end models.
The performance is rather low for an Android smartphone. But, apart from occasional stuttering, it suffices the majority of everyday tasks. However, it is not appropriate for complex games. Build quality, design, speaker, and energy consumption are decent. One of the most important features works very well: switching between two SIM cards without reboot.
Overall, the Galaxy Young Duo includes everything required for a smartphone. However, a low resolution display, muffled camera pictures, and only few accessories are cons, which are usual in this price range.
If you are looking for a bigger smartphone and require dual SIM support, you could consider the Amoi N821 or Jiayu G3 and you will get your money's worth. In many aspects the Sony Xperia E dual is on par with the Samsung Galaxy Young. So, the decision is rather a matter personal taste.
