Measuring in at a mere 110.5 x 57.5 x 12.2 mm and weighing in at just 102 g, this grip-and-pocket friendly device is extremely comfortable to hold and use (even one handed). The design sports nicely rounded edges and a dotted grip-assisting backcover.
As with most of the company’s other smartphones, it made from plastic which combined with the rather basic design, doesn’t make for the most premium quality look and feel, but then again it is a budget device after all.
Samsung’s Galaxy Gio boasts a 3.2" (320 x 480 pixels) TFT capacitive touchscreen, which is on par with its Android-running rivals. You can use the phone’s responsive touch-screen to navigate its mobile operating system (OS), which in this case is Android 2.2.1 (Froyo), with the device reportedly being upgraded to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) during Q4 of this year.
Running atop of the Android OS is Samsung’s TouchWiz 3.0 user interface (UI), which sports some useful functionality such as Samsung’s Social Hub application, which brings all your messaging and communication functionality together into one central location.
ThinkFree Office suite for Android is also on-board, enabling users to view and edit their office documents on the device (but not create), and you have access to both the Samsung Apps application store as well as the Android Market to download apps from.
What isn’t disappointing in the least is the amount of connectivity options available with the Gio, with 3G HSDPA, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Wi-Fi hotspot and Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP all included. The Gio sports a meager 158 MB internal storage, but luckily this can be boosted via hotswoppable MicroSD card slot, which supports cards up to 32 GB in size, while there’s a 2 GB MicroSD memory card included in the retail box. GPS with a-GPS support.
Samsung’s Galaxy Gio sports great functionality and features for its sub-2k budget pricetag, including a quick 800 MHz processor and better than expected 3.15 MP snapper. It goes for a recommended retail price of R1699
