Samsung and Generation Y
MANILA, Philippines - With today’s fast-paced lifestyle, the need to keep up with “the latest” puts a lot of pressure on today’s youth. This desire to be at the forefront of what is trendy and what is hip — from wearing the hottest fashions to owning the newest gadgets — has become a priority. For young men and women, however, these luxuries usually come at a heftier price tag than their allowances can afford.
Where technology is concerned, one of the trends that is hard to ignore is the smartphone. The emergence of these handsets has had the youth constantly tapping on their keypads — sending text messages, chatting on social networks, playing games and downloading applications. However, most of these don’t come cheap.
Samsung has created a dependable entry-level smartphone the youth can easily afford — the Samsung Galaxy Y, their first Android smartphone.
Set to become every teenager’s smartphone dream come true with its intelligent features available at a reasonable market price. And judging from the strong line of its Galaxy brothers, the Y is not to be underestimated.
The Samsung Galaxy Y is powered by an 832 MHz processor and HSDPA module of up to 7.2 Mbps and runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system that lets teens browse through websites, check e-mails, and play various media smoothly and with less lag. Users can also access over 150,000 apps available in the Android Market to bring together their favorites in social networking, gaming, music, and so much more.
Music junkies can play DJ anytime, anywhere; while aspiring photographers can create masterpieces at the touch of the Galaxy Y’s screen. Gaming gurus can flaunt their high scores to friends; while social butterflies can keep up with all of their contacts while on-the-go.
Photos and videos on Samsung Galaxy Y’s two-megapixel camera can also be viewed smoothly on its three-inch LCD display and 240x320 pixel-QVGA resolution. Its TouchWiz user interface punctuates the experience further as users are allowed to customize their own menus to further express themselves as individuals.
Now, teenagers can flaunt a full-featured smartphone without burning their — or their parents’ — pockets! For only P5,990, teens suffering from a severe lack of edge in their mobile experience can now get an upgrade.
