Samsung Galaxy YAfter the Samsung Early Christmas treats, Samsung Philippines introduces a new Android phone – the Samsung Galaxy Y.  Announced last August 2011, it finally landed in the Philippine shores. This new Android smartphone from Samsung is one of the most affordable Android phone in the market.

The Galaxy Y sports  a 3-inch 240×320 pixels LCD display, 832MHz CPU, 2MP camera, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, Bluetooth 3.0 plus Wi-Fi, and a meager 1200mAh battery far better than Galaxy Mini.

Unlike other Samsung Android phone released earlier this year, the Galaxy Y is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, another great feature compared to other android phones in its level. Aside from its 2MP rear camera this phone is better than the Galaxy Mini.

So if you are planning for your first Android phone and don’t want to invest on high-end Android phones this phone is a great deal.

The Samsung Galaxy Y suggest retail price is Php 5,990.
