Samsung Galaxy Y vs Galaxy Fit Comparison

2011-11-13T12:24:00.001-08:00

Samaung Mobiles have recently launched an addition to its Galaxy series, the Samsung Galaxy Y targeted to the young college goers or 1^st time android users. While it has made this budget (Rs. 7000-Rs. 10000) scenario a bit complicated with this launch as Galaxy Y is now the cheapest android 2.3(gingerbread) phone available in India. This time its competition is with its own brother, the Samsung Galaxy Fit, which was considered the fittest in budget range of Rs. 7000 – Rs.10000.

So now, we compare this young handset, the Samsung Galaxy Y with the already fit handset, the Samsung Galaxy fit.

Size and design:

Samsung Galaxy y has a dimension of (58 x 104 x 11.5 mm) and weighs around 97.5 g. , the Galaxy fit has dimensions of (61. 2 x 110.2 x 12.6 mm) and weighs around 108.2 gram.

Display:

Samsung Galaxy Y has a 3.0” TFT capacitive touchscreen, featuring a colour input of 256k and a resolution of 240x320 p, while Samsung Galaxy fit comes forward with a little big screen of 3.3-inch with the same resolution of 240 x 320p.

Storage:

Samsung Galaxy Fit has an internal memory of 160 MB and while that of Samsung Galaxy Y is 180 MB. Both the handsets are expandable to 32 GB.

Camera:

Comparing the cameras, it’s a pointless job as our young Galaxy features a 2MP autofocus camera & Galaxy fit has a 5MP camera. However, the pixel density of Galaxy Y is higher at 133 ppi when compared to Galaxy fit having a 121 ppi.

Processor:

Samsung Galaxy y possesses a processor of 832 MHz which is better than Galaxy fit’s processor of 600 MHz the main difference comes while doing multitasking and playing games.

Connectivity:

Both the handsets are 3G enabled, Wi-Fi enabled. Galaxy y comes with an update to Bluetooth 2.0 (Galaxy fit), as this young handset has Bluetooth 3.0. You will see the difference in data transfer and tethering. Also, both these handsets have an A-GPS support in them.

Battery:

Galaxy fit has a Li-Ion, 1350 mAh battery giving the handset a 10 hrs talktime on 2G and a 6 hrs on 3G. Galaxy y lags here as it only has a Li-lon, 1200 mAh battery giving a 9 hrs talktime on 2G and a 5 hrs talktime on 3G.

Conclusion:

Both the handsets are similar in many aspects. Given the differences, Galaxy fit emerges as the winner. I would recommend buying Galaxy y only if you are going to be a 1^st time android user. It has every basic thing that a beginner would need. Especially, college going students. Price also makes a difference, so if you can shell out 3000 bucks more you will get all that you want with Galaxy fit.

Here is a quick comparison between both:-

Features	Galaxy Fit	Galaxy Y
Operating System	Android v2.2 (Froyo) Upgradable to Gingerbread	Android v2.3.5 (Gingerbread)
