Samsung is usually spot-on and makes great smartphones, but sometimes they can truly drop the ball as they did with the Samsung Admire smartphone. The Samsung Admire is plagued with several serious issues that make it a poor smartphone choice.
Absolutely Horrible Call Quality
What good is it to have a smartphone if you can barely make phone calls on it? The Samsung Admire is plagued with several serious call quality issues including faulty call communication, audio cut-offs, dropped calls and more. It’s great to save money and all, but sometimes you get what you pay for as with the budget Samsung Admire smartphone.
Poor Speakerphone
In addition to have absolutely horrible call quality; the Samsung Admire also fails in the speakerphone department as well. The overall speaker quality of the Samsung Admire leaves a lot to be desired, but its poor speakers are very noticeable when conducting speakerphone conversations – at which point they’re almost unbearable.
Lacking Camera Quality
Samsung really dropped the ball with the Samsung Admire and if it’s call quality and speakerphone weren’t enough to turn you off to this smartphone, its camera quality just might do the trick. The Samsung Admire features a paltry 3.2 megapixel camera which is less than ideal in these modern times where 5, 8, 10, and even 12 megapixel cameras are the norm for smartphone cameras. If you are a photography buff that has their heart set on this smartphone, you’ll likely have to carry a digital camera around in addition to the Samsung Admire because its camera just won’t do the job.
Bad Battery Life
Even if the Samsung Admire was the most advanced smartphone available, it’d still be a bit underwhelming due to its battery life. Battery life is important for any mobile gadget, but is of the utmost importance for smartphones which get lots of use throughout the day. The Samsung Admire features a poor internal battery that only supports up to 180 minutes of talk time – which is only 3 hours of talk time.
Build Quality
In addition to the other horrible features of the Samsung Admire smartphone, this smartphone also comes off as feeling cheap due to its faulty build and form factor. Overall this smartphone doesn’t feel that it can take much damage and I fear that it won’t be able to stand the test of time.
