Review: Samsung Galaxy Light for T-Mobile

Form Performance Basics Extras Wrap-Up Comments 2

The Samsung Galaxy Light sells for $240 at full price. You can also choose to finance the Light for just $9 per month with $0 down. Considering what the phone offers - and doesn't offer - that's a fair price for the whole kit and kaboodle.

In the plus column, the Light is easy to use, well made, and offers excellent call quality. The Android operating system runs perfectly, even with Samsung's UI customizations, and it has powerful calling and imaging tools.

In the minus column, the Light offers only average battery life, isn't strong over LTE, takes average photos, and doesn't have the sharpest display.

There are plenty of bigger, better phones out there, but they cost more and can be more difficult to use. If you value size (or the lack thereof) over everything else, the Samsung Galaxy Light is worth a look.
