Both multitouchscreen phones have the same 256,000 color-display with 240x320 pixels. Galaxy Y and Galaxy Y Duos can also carry micro SD card up to 32 GB.
You can enjoy music through a stereo FM radio with RDS on both phones. You can also access threaded-view messaging, Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP, microUSB v2.0 , Wi-fi, Hotspot as well as GPRS, EDGE via 2G network and HSDPA with speed of 7.2 Mbps via 3G network.
Moreover, these phones from the Galaxy family also run the same Android Gingerbread OS and 830 MHz CPU ARM v6 which is enough for moderate use of web browsing, listening to music, and playing Angry Birds & other non-heavy graphic cool games.
To set Galaxy Young and its cousin Duos apart are the size, color, camera, and the SIM functionality .
Galaxy Y Duos is slightly bigger than the Galaxy Y; however, since they maintained the same screen resolution with a QVGA TFT LCD display type for Galaxy Y Duos, you will notice the pixels on the display screen. Considering the introduction of Galaxy Young Duos as a midrange phone, this is already bearable.
Galaxy Y Duos has an elegant black look compared to Galaxy Y which has a silver touch. It also upgraded its camera to 3 MP from the 2 MP Galaxy Young. The 3 MP camera is not bad for an average smartphone, but better to enjoy it on well-lit places. You may take pictures using Single Shot, Smile Shot, and shoot videos in Panorama mode. You may also record videos at 24 fps QVGA with Galaxy Y Duos compared to Galaxy Y's video recording at 15 fps.
To fully visualize this dual-SIM smartphone, watch this.
On average use, Duos battery lasts a whole day of texting, calling, playing games, and net browsing.
With the Galaxy Y Duos, you also have your built in Task Manager, FM Radio Player, Memo creator, My Files file viewer, and Social Hub application (phone messaging and social messaging boiled into one).
If these applications are still not enough, then the Android Market is just a click away.
So, if you're thinking of buying Galaxy Y Duos, it's worth Php8,990. With that, you have a slight upgrade of screen size and camera from those of the Galaxy Y plus of course the dual-SIM functionality.
But if you opt for more affordable dual-SIM cellphones, you may check out Lenovo A60 or Alcatel Blaze Glory 918N.
