Samsung Galaxy Young S6310 review: Just for starters

Display

The Samsung Galaxy Young features a 3.27" capacitive touchscreen, which is a small but important step up from the previous generation of entry-level droids. HVGA (320 x 480) resolution is the new QVGA, it seems.

The LCD is otherwise as basic as it gets, with less than impressive contrast and viewing angles. There isn't auto brightness adjustment either.
