Samsung's Galaxy Appeal has prepaid appeal, too

AT&T's Samsung Galaxy Appeal wraps Android 2.3, a keyboard, and a 3.2-megapixel camera into a reasonable $150 package.

QWERTY keyboard

The keyboard buttons are fairly spacious and the keys themselves are responsive. Still, they didn't quite line up with my fingers, and I found typing to be at times slow and uncomfortable. (Of course, everyone's fingers are different.)

Touch-sensitive navigation

The usual touch-navigation options and TouchWiz interface are Galaxy Appeal mainstays.

Soft-touch

I do really enjoy the gently textured soft-touch coating that makes the phone easy to hold.

Side view

The QWERTY makes the Galaxy Appeal a little thicker around the middle, but that's normal for handsets with physical keyboards.

Whole picture

The device is rather generic, but there's a certain comfort in familiarity. You know what you're going to get with a handset like the Galaxy Appeal.

Studio shot

The camera didn't blow me away with its shots, and it also lacks flash and auto-focus, so you'll need plenty of ambient lighting and a steady arm. Note the brownish cast to this studio shot, which was set up indoors with professional lighting.

REVIEW

The most beautiful phone ever has one wildly annoying issue

he Samsung Galaxy S8's fast speeds and fantastic curved screen make it a top phone for 2017, but the annoying fingerprint reader could sour your experience.
