Say what
you want about Samsung, but one can't deny that the company has released
hundreds, if not thousands of different phones overt the past few years.
Naturally, we have reviewed a fair amount of them, and just as you might
suspect, Samsung has had its highs and lows.
We've
seen devices that have carved their way in smartphone history, one way or the
other; the factories of the South Korea based giant have also churned out some
cringe-worthy handsets that best remain forgotten.
What
you'll find below are five of Samsung's handsets that we've rated the highest
and another five ones that have received the lowest review ratings. Note that
due to the sheer numbers of Samsung phones we've only included such devices
that run an iteration of Google's Android platform. Ladies and gentlemen, here
are the best and worst Samsung smartphones we've seen so far!
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Rating: 9.5
With its
superb display, commendable performance, and stock Android experience, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus was one
of the best phones of 2011. What's more, it's one of the best devices Samsung
devices of all time. It scored a rating of 9.5 in our review. The only gripes
we had with it were the somewhat unimpressive design and the video recording,
which left something to be desired.
Samsung Epic 4G
Rating: 9.5
One of
the greatest QWERTY-enabled Samsung handsets, the Epic 4G came with a Super
AMOLED display, amazing battery life, and great overall performance. This was
more than enough to make it one of the very best Samsung devices you could get
it 2010. The Samsung Epic 4G got launched
as a Sprint-exclusive, but nonetheless, scored an impressive 9.5 in our review.
Samsung Galaxy S III
Rating: 9.3
The Samsung Galaxy S III was quite different from its predecessor, the Galaxy S II, in many aspects, but that's totally not a bad thing. On the contrary, the Galaxy S III provided an overall Android user experience to behold (as per 2012's standards). That's why it also earned a rating of 9.3.
Samsung Galaxy S4
Rating: 9.3
Yes, it was uninspiringly plastic, it did not perform very well in the call quality aspect, but in the end, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has more pros than cons in its bag. We were particularly wooed by the large display that was fitted in the S4's compact body. The Galaxy S4 secured a rating of 9.3 in our review.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Rating: 9.3
Don't act surprised, there's hardly anything not to like about the Galaxy Note 4. The computational power, the stunning Super AMOLED display, as well as the mind-boggingly amazing camera were the reasons why the Note 4 is one of the best-received and more acclaimed Samsung devices of late.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo
Rating: 5
Let's be
honest - we didn't like the Galaxy Grand Neo at all. And
why should we? It came with a totally-disappointing display, bezels as large as
the Grand Canyon, poor video recording capabilities, etc. Shall we continue? We
guess we've been in a good mood when we reviewed this Samsung device, as it has
scored a rating of 5.
Samsung Galaxy Exhibit
Rating: 5
The Samsung Galaxy Exhibit had a
pretty good battery life and... that was pretty much it. Almost every other
aspect of this phone was extremely disappointing, most notably the poor
display, the cheap plastic build, and the extremely bad performance. Ugh.
Samsung DoubleTime
Rating: 4
Where to
begin with? This entry-level device is certainly among the very worst
entry-level Samsung phones that we have ever reviewed. With this device, in
particular, enjoying the beauty of Android proved worthy of a masochistic
Herculean task.
Samsung Gravity Smart
Rating: 4
If you
think that the Gravity Smart was a
"good" phone, then you are certainly not understanding the gravity of
the situation. To be honest, its physical QWERTY keyboard was not that bad, but
the uninspiring design, cheap build, and unacceptable performance dragged it
all the way down to a rating of 4.
Samsung Dart
Rating: 4
The only
good thing about the Dart was its price - you could get it free with a
two-year contract. We don't know how many users jumped on the bandwagon, but we
are somewhat sure that most of them have sorrowfully regretted this decision
afterwards.
