The 3MP camera has Geo-tagging so you can tag the location of a photo for easy recall. Unfortunately there is no camera flash or front-facing camera.

Video can be recorded at 24 frames per second. Its video quality leaves a lot to be desired and should be used when you have no other alternative.

Samsung Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Connectivity Options

Dual SIM capability allows you to hop on two frequencies at once. You have 2G GSM 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz bands and 3G HSDPA 900 and 2100 MHz. Wireless transfer is available through Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity. Alternatively, you can use the microUSB 2.0 support to transfer to a laptop or computer.

Organizer and other Utility Tools

An alarm, calendar, organizer, calendar, and voice memo are utility tools that come with the S6102.

Web Browser and Applications

Browsing the web with the Android browser gets you on the internet with ease. For additional applications, you can search the Play store and download an endless array of apps.

Google Maps and GPS

Though there is Google Maps on the S6102, it lacks A-GPS support.

Distinctive Features

One thing to keep in mind is that there is no dual active SIM capability. This means that if you are on a call and another person is calling the other number, they will hear “person is unavailable”. With active SIM, a caller will hear “person is busy on the other call”.

Value for Money and Verdict

The S6102 is available for purchase for Rs. 7999 (approx., may vary). The lack of the camera flash and smaller screen size are really the only drawbacks to the S6102. Its call quality, battery life, and fast processor add up to a good buy in handset.
