I also bought that device. Really feel very cheap, something like a plastic toys. It is also feels light. Quadrant score is somewhere around 1200. Battery life is quite good. Running on Android 2.3.5. Camera wise it is ok. Shoot 720p but cant auto-focus. It has a USB storage of 1.70gb. Devices memory of 0.99gb. It has a total ram of 371mb.

The only part which Galaxy W lags is when it comes to the heavy-weighted home screen. When you have a lot of widgets on the home screen, it will takes time to load. When you get into an application and exit the application, went straight into the home-screen. You will see a blank screen (just the wallpaper), after some time, the widget will be loaded.

Other than that, everything is very snappy.

With 3G or Wifi?

I dun use 3G so i leave that for others to comment.

For wifi,

Its loads pages pretty fast. Hard to say how fast but you wont have any complains with it. Flash playbac is ok.

Yea...a budget phone. Don't expect much. Yes, no auto-focus when taking 720p.

I will capture the image and let you see.

Yes, it is Ori. Mine is with 2 years SME warranty. There isn't any AP model available. Since ytd 8am till now. I have no issue of SOD.

Yea. I tested mine and it is not possible to do that. I also think that asia will get the 2GB one.

Yea. It will only happen once you clear off your rams. When your ram usage drop to somewhere around 171mb. Quickly escape to the home screen. I think you will see a blank screen.

Yea. Just wait for more users and we will soon find out if there is anything problem with the phone.

Yes. It has the feature. Under 'wireless and network', there is an option called 'tethering and portable hotspot'.

1. From 29/11/11 till now, I didn't encounter any BSOD.

2. This question is very subjective. To me, I might have bad hearing due to drumming a lot , I found out that the earpiece in the phone itself is average. Not as good if compare to S and S2.

3. Yes, it support adobe flash.

Added on November 1, 2011, 8:02 pmSamsung haven't release any statement whether they will bring ICS to this model. So we just need to wait. Very likely is nope. Hopefully yes.

They will only update the Android version if they think that the function is essential at the same time maintaining the performance. So far we know that ICS run fluidly on dual-core model. If Samsung tested this device and it run at its optimum then we will have the update. So, we just have to wait for official Samsung statement about the update of ICS to Galaxy W.

Added on November 1, 2011, 8:46 pmHaha, if you are so concern, then go and try out the device. If you live nearby me then you can come and test the device.

Yup, so far these are the dual-core models. So, we don't know single core model can get the update or nt. Good luck to all

What do you want to know from this? Lagging issue? Overheat?

Personally, I think is average. It is still acceptable for me.

I don't have any intense 3D game in my phone. So far, when playing Lane Splitter and Speedx 3D, I don't feel the heat much. Maybe I just played for 20mins.
