Samsung S6500 Galaxy Mini 2

The Samsung S6500 Galaxy Mini 2 is now available in the Philippine market. The Galaxy Mini 2 is a entry level Android phone. We have found it for sale on one of the retailers we use to check prices at Php9,100.

Quick specs:

• Android 2.3 
• 3.27-inch display, 320 x 480 pixels
• 4 GB of storage, expandable via MicroSD card
• 512 MB of RAM
• 800 MHz processor
• Adreno 200 graphics processing unit
• 3.2 MP camera, LED flash
• No secondary camera
• VGA video recording
• HSDPA 7.2 Mbps
• 1300 mAh battery, user replaceable

If we compare it to the similarly priced Sony Xperia Live with Walkman released in 2011, the Galaxy Mini 2 specifications are a bit disappointing. The Xperia Live retails as low as Php9,250 and will give you a faster 1 GHz processor and faster Adreno 205 graphics. But what the typical user notice more about the Xperia Live is the 5 MP autofocus camera, front camera and 720p video recording.   

The Galaxy Mini 2 does have some advantages with 4 GB of internal storage (we do not know how much of it is user available at this time) and a slightly larger battery (1300 mAh v. 1200 mAh).
