Samsung phones don't suck.
ReplyDeleteMy GF and I has a GALAXY Y and what annoys us is the constant signal loss. We have resorted to restarting it and we are now really considering changing SGY for something NOT Samsung.
ReplyDeletebecause you bought a LOW END PHONE.
ReplyDeleteIf you only look at the specs of the two phones, Cherry Mobile W900 will perform the best with its 1350mAh battery. But, I think it might depend on the user also on how they use their phones, Why? There are some reports from people who are using the W900 that it have a poor battery life. While others said it can last for 2 days without charging. While my brother who has a Galaxy Y, recharge his phone every night (He only used his phone for texting only).
ReplyDeleteBTW, I also found these tips on how to extend your phone's battery life: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2367542,00.asp
Thank you very much for your help sir. God bless...
ReplyDeleteWhich battery between the two performs the best? Is it the 3" SGY with the Li-Ion 1200 mAh battery or CM W900 Li-Ion 1350 mAh battery on a 4" display? Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteIt is very obvious who wins? LOL! Galaxy y is a low end phone. This comparison is stupid xD
ReplyDeleteYung Galaxy Y, daming na po complaints yung W900 kasi.
