Reception[]

According to CNET UK, the Samsung Galaxy Young is a decent device capable of providing users with a low end mobile experience[4]. They have found the screen to be virtually unusable considering other devices from other brands priced in the same price range. On the other hand, the device excels in terms of some basic functions such as web browsing, communications and even in playing some slight heavier games thanks to the additional 200 plus MB RAM. The device also has access to the Google Play Store, however, it is not capable of running some newer available apps. Many older apps which do not require as much processing power still function normally on the device. Some features, such as pinch-to-zoom, cause the device to lag, which is due to its limited RAM.

Many reviewers have criticized the device due to its outdated processor which results in a sluggish performance in some heavy apps. On the other hand, they praise the 3.15 MP rear camera of the device which they have found to be capable of taking clear pictures with adequate picture quality for its price range. Overall they found the phone as being decently put together for its price.
