Entry level Android never performed this well before!

If you are not a game player, and just need a solid slab Android phone with zippy performance, accurate GPS and cell tower location reporting, and plenty of app storage space (not games), then the Samsung Conquer is an ideal phone.
Start with the processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8655. Just a year ago, users were exited to be the first to try it out. It's the same processor that powers the HTC Evo and Thunderbolt. Now, it is entry level, as all flagship phones run on dual core processors.
But regardless what processor a phone has inside, what matters is how it performs running multiple apps and services. The Conquer can handle it all. It doesn't have to run a graphics-intensive HD Super AMOLED screen, so it focuses on what's running in the background, and stays connected to the network. I am impressed with how much more accurate my location is in Google Maps/Latitude compared to a Sprint CDMA 3G phone. With Sprint's 4G network, my location as seen by others is more accurate. I am no longer being shown as being in a river or harbor.
With 512MB of internal app storage, the Conquer can download pretty much any non-game app you need, including the memory hungry Google+ app. Camera resolution is very good, but the camera optics could have been closer to its high end Samsung siblings.
As the former owner of an LG Optimus S, the Samsung Conquer is a definite step up. Twice the internal app storage. Almost twice the processor speed. A brighter, slightly larger display. A faster Sprint network. And it is thinner and lighter. This is one zippy and underrated phone.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, thin, front facing camera, wimax ip network
Cons: camera could have better optics
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased my Samsung Conquer 4G in December 2011. I haven't had any major problems. I love this phone. Very easy to use & understand.
The Conquer is the best smart phone I ever owned. The battery life is much longer than on my previous android phones. Good variety of preinstalled apps. This phone is fast and the UI is fresh and easy to use. The best phone ever!
For the price this is by far the best performing android phone I have seen. It may not have the dual core processor but it does have the 1ghz single core and because they decided not to go with the old touch screen software its just as responsive as another android phone that costs 3x as much and does have the dual core processor! I would definately recommend this phone to anyone who wants the android experience without dropping a boatload of cash.
This phone was an upgrade from my Samsung Reclaim. What an amazing smartphone this is and the price was unbeatable. If you need a new phone, go for the Samsung Conquer 4G. I have recommended it to numerous people already.
This product by far exceded my basic requirments of a phone!

I had the Instinct II for over three years. It met my basic needs. I use my pc or laptop to do my email, shopping, listen to music, etc. etc. etc... Now that I got this nifty lil device it does ALL those tasks I used a pc for on the phone! Too much to list here but coming from a dinosaur of a phone to this bad boy, let me tell ya, I felt like Marty Mcfly! Back to the future baby! I know that there were bigger ones like the Evo II s and what not but the size is perfect. I don't want to carry anything that is closer in size to a iPad and feels like a brick compared to the micro sized Conquer!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, small size yet it packs a wollop!
Cons: it will at times automatically go into airplane.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love my Conquer 4G- don't have much experience with smartphones (this is my first), and am still learning to use all the features available. The price was right for the product and overall, it performs awesomely. The only complaint that I have is that the speaker is not loud enough to enjoy my music or videos, even with the use of earbuds.
