<\/a><\/p>\nFor people who are going to use a Smartphone mostly for Facebook, Email, and a few apps here and there, a solidly built Smartphone with the essentials and a reasonable price is all you need.\u00a0 Samsung\u2019s Conquer fills this category quite nicely with a fast processor, necessary features, and most importantly it is 4G compatible so you won\u2019t get stuck on an outdated network.<\/p>\n
My first impression of the Samsung was its rugged look.\u00a0 The back of the phone is textured which gives it a sturdy feel and adds extra grip when you\u2019re holding the phone.\u00a0 The front of the phone has a sleek touch screen complimented by raised buttons for the standard four shortcut keys: options, home, back and search.\u00a0 While I was a little surprised that these buttons weren\u2019t touch sensitive, they didn\u2019t cause any problems when I was using the phone.\u00a0 The Conquer also has two cameras.\u00a0 A 3.2 megapixel rear facing camera and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera.\u00a0 Although the phone took decent pictures given the hardware it has, I was a little upset that Samsung couldn\u2019t put a better camera in here, but I guess they had to make sacrifices somewhere to keep the price down.<\/p>\n
The Conquer packs a lot into a conveniently sized handset that maximizes portability while still providing you with a reasonable viewing screen for websites, pictures, and videos.\u00a0 The resolution is only 480×320 so if you\u2019re picky about clarity, the Conquer isn\u2019t going to be your kind of phone.\u00a0 Typing on the phone was also a little difficult with the small screen and I ended up making a lot of wrong button presses. \u00a0This was frustrating when trying to text and write emails although I got somewhat better at it after a little practice.<\/p>\n
Performance wasn\u2019t an issue for the Samsung.\u00a0 Its 1GHz processor was able to handle whatever it encountered.\u00a0 Apps loaded quickly and there was minimal lag between actions.\u00a0 The Samsung was also economical on battery life.\u00a0 It had enough power to make it through the majority of the day with regular use.\u00a0 I occasionally had to charge it up mid day if I was using it for a lot of web browsing and almost always had to plug it in as soon as I got home.<\/p>\n
If you want to join the 4G hype, but don\u2019t need the bells and whistles of the $200 and $250 dollar phones then the Conquer is a good buy.\u00a0 With it, you\u2019ll get the fastest browsing speeds Sprint has to offer.\u00a0 And best of all, you\u2019ll have access to unlimited data when you\u2019re on Sprint\u2019s network, something Verizon and AT&T no longer have.<\/p>\n
