Samsung Galaxy Ring pales against rivals

The price is right for this off-contract Android phone, but the specs just don't hold up.

Samsung needs a separate "C" lineup. They need to isolate their budget lineup

Can Samsung stop making so many phones and just focus on a few? They make a new galaxy branded phone every day it seems!

Where is the slot to install the sim card on the Samsung Galaxy Ring?

That last comment was for those of you who are bashing Samsung. The rest of you are right. Samsung does use the Galaxy name entirely too much and she always nit pics on any phone that's not a flagship device rocking a quad core processor. Its actually a pretty good phone for someone looking for an affordable device.

Did she say dual core it's single

[ffofy]

Thank you lol. I was about to buy this phone, but now I'm gonna get the LG Optimus F3.

[raymee]

I got LG optimus f3 and very satisfied with it

This is about how good the Galaxy Gear is. They're both all right, but compared to other things they're poor excuses.

Apparently the US have alot of galaxys... we asian only have the flagships of it like s4 s4 mini note 3 and ace 3

I thought the screen is TfT not super amoled.

Honestly, it's a great phone considering it is a dual core in the price range of $150 without a contract. It has iPhone 5 specs and the iPhone 5 costs $549...

The Samsung GALAXY Ring™ has a 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8655 SINGLE-CORE processor, NOT DUAL

[cyborg]

How about a custom made phone that just sticks to your face, we'all call it the galaxy face

[fabiomartinez]

this phone works with GSM? or what the cdma frequency

[cyborg]

Dang, I thought this was the round... Ring, round wtf

[MrAhmedrocks]

She's right! I actually have this phone and I regret it so much! It freezes 20+ times a day no joke, slow, camera is pretty good and sound is good also but it's really not worth it

[G-spotGeorge]

holy shit people used to pay $150 for this???

[trevinblondin]

$150 with no contract...this is a deal..cnet is a mile off on this one

[jamesi]

What's with all these galaxy phone? Way too many.

[oaba]

It's a budget phone so you can't really expect much
