This phone is awesome! Easy to use, it's size is just perfect, not too big and not too small. Excellent graphics, tons of great features and options. Install a popular rated music player and plug in some good quality ear buds and the sound quality is out of this world! I just love the overall quality of this phone. It's my best phone I've ever had, it's worth every penny I paid for it. I've talked about my phone to a cashier that works at a local convenience store and when I went there tonight she couldn't wait to show me her new phone, a Samsung Galaxy Ring!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone has a mind of its own.

This is, as another reviewer stated, is probably a good phone for a child or beginner. This phone restarts itself all time. It cuts off in the middle of the night. (so much for that ALARM feature) and the sound turns itself off. I then have to restart it. That usually happens when I get an important call. I'm sorry to say I hate this phone and I'm stuck with it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome Phone!

I have had this phone only for a few days now, and is a rock solid, dependable handset that unfortunately is only 3G and may be overlooked by many. It has the same performance as the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S4 Blaze, only in a better looking case that feels better in the hand. The camera works just fine, despite reviews complaining about it "only" being a 5mp shooter. Unless you are careless or hurried, photos come out just fine. Phone quality is exceptional. Both speakers are clear and loud, and reception is very good. Battery life is above average, and being able to change both the SIM and micro SD card without removing the battery is a novel feature. The overall impression of the phone is that of high quality that will last for years. What an awesome phone!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def, not 4g
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung Reverb in a New case
on November 14, 2013

Ring is the Reverb in every way Internally except for the 1meg of Ram vs Reverbs 768meg and the CPU, Chipset, Screen and most everything else is identical. I know this because I've researched this intensely since I owned a Reverb also which failed 4 times in a row under Virgin and Samsungs replacement or repair. It takes a few months for the problem to appear but I'm pretty sure its the Single Core being unable to support the Jelly Bean update. The cell will eventually freeze on waking and continually reboot around 6 times a day but it is VERY INTERMITTENT. After 4 cells being replaced and ALL Failing eventually I'm sure of myself now. If you don't believe me look at Virgins Site under Ring and Reverb and search for random rebooting and lockups and you will find way too many. I tried the Ring just to confirm this also.
This is inexcusable for a company this size especially when all they will do to fix the problem is send out more product thats defective.
The cell would be just fine if THEY NEVER UPDATED FROM ICE CREAM SANDWICH.
I hope Samsung has the courage to print this review but I seriously doubt it since negative is not allowed. If something changes I will definitely change my review also.

Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, large 2gig user rom
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, eventually will reboot itself, not powerful enough for jelly bean
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good first phone for a kid

First let me say I love Samsung products. As I replace items around the house I am buying Samsung products. Unfortunately as I replaced this phone I had to go to a I phone and the only reason I did that was because being unemployed at the moment I could not afford the gallexy 3.
This phone would be fine for light use, I use my phone along with my tab 2 10.1 to look for a job. I only had a few apps loaded on it and it still froze up and turned it self off during heavy use. If it did it now I would hate to try and use it when I did get a job as I would use it even more. Like I said I think Samsung products are the best out right now and I dont blame the phone it is just not right for anyone wanting or needing it for work.
