Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G Reviews
The Verge "The Galaxy S is back and beefed up for T-Mobile's 42Mbps HSPA+ network, but is it enough of an upgrade?"
CNET "T-Mobile customers wouldn't go wrong with the handset, especially if they don't want to pay top dollar, but it isn't for those looking for the cutting edge."
Engadget "Folks, let us introduce you to the Galaxy S Blaze 4G. If you're curious about the rationale behind the Blaze nomenclature, its meaning is actually two-fold: first, it's capable of accessing T-Mobile's speedy HSPA+ 42Mbps network, and second -- get this -- it packs the same dual-core processor as T-Mobile's Galaxy S II."
Techno Buffalo "However, after spending the past week with the phone, I see where the value proposition for the Galaxy S Blaze 4G is. I think, anyway. I’ll take you through the ups and downs of the device in my review."
Android Central "If you're looking for a mid-range phone on T-Mobile (both in price as well as specs), the Blaze 4G is worth a look, though it's a tad lacking in the hardware department."
Android Community "This isn’t the best on the market, but where are its shortcomings and is there anything it doesn’t do well. That is the question most should have."
Slash Gear "This device represents what was fantastic throughout 2011, what’s going right with the industry today, and a good look at what it means to pay slightly less cash for a device that by all means should be considered a hero device, but isn’t because there can only be one: the Galaxy S II."
Business Insider "With the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, T-Mobile is offering a solution to those who want a solid Android phone that fits naturally in your hands."
Brighthand "While it may look like another rehash of the old Galaxy S, under the hood the new Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G packs blistering speed, with a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and lightning fast 4G."
PCWorld "The Galaxy S Blaze 4G has an appealing design and performs excellently, but the experience is marred by an abundance of bloatware--that you can't remove."
PCMag "The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G is an equally speedy alternative to the Galaxy S II if you're looking for a fast T-Mobile smartphone in a more manageable size."
Laptop Mag "The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G offers strong performance and long battery life in a more compact design than the Galaxy S II."
Phone Arena "Although it’s technically still a part of the original Samsung Galaxy S line, it should prove to be a smoking addition, so let’s find out if it’s worth picking up."
GSMArena "Sure, it has grown an extra CPU core, to go with its 42Mbps network connectivity, but at the end of the day, the newcomer packs a lot of the I9000 DNA and hardware."
