GT-E2232 specifications

The Samsung GT-E2232 is a dual SIM mobile phone that was launched in 2011, catering to users who prefer a compact device with essential features rather than a high-end smartphone. Designed with simplicity and functionality in mind, this model stands out for its practicality and ease of use, especially in markets where dual SIM functionality is highly valued.

One of the main features of the Samsung GT-E2232 is its dual SIM capability, allowing users to manage two separate phone numbers on a single device. This is particularly useful for individuals who want to keep their personal and professional lives separate or for those who travel frequently and require local SIM options. The device seamlessly switches between the two SIM cards, providing flexibility and convenience.

The GT-E2232 is equipped with a 2.2-inch TFT display that offers a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. While the screen size may be modest by today's standards, it is adequate for basic tasks such as texting, calling, and browsing the internet. The navigation is straightforward, making it easy for users to access various features and applications.

In terms of performance, the phone runs on an efficient proprietary operating system, which is optimized for basic functionalities. It includes a range of standard features such as a calendar, alarm clock, and calculator. The inclusion of a music player and FM radio further enhances the user experience for entertainment on the go.

The Samsung GT-E2232 boasts a 1.3-megapixel rear camera, which may not deliver the high-quality images that modern smartphones do, but is functional for capturing essential moments. The camera provides basic photo-taking capabilities and supports video recording, making it a valuable tool for quick snaps.

Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.1, which enables users to share files wirelessly with compatible devices. The phone also supports GPRS for basic internet browsing, although its capabilities are limited compared to contemporary devices.

With a battery capacity of 1,200 mAh, the GT-E2232 delivers an impressive battery life, allowing users to talk for several hours or keep the device on standby for days. This reliability is a crucial factor for those who depend on their phones for daily communication.

Overall, the Samsung GT-E2232 is a solid choice for users seeking a no-frills mobile experience. Its dual SIM capabilities, coupled with basic multimedia features and long battery life, make it a practical option for those who prioritize functionality over advanced technology.
