Why the Samsung Galaxy Young 2 is a great first time smartphone
Samsung seems to be on fire at the moment, launching new phones left right and centre. Not only did we spot the premium Galaxy Note 4 hit the market, but Samsung also wowed us at the other end of the scale with the Galaxy Young 2.
The Young 2 is a new and improved version of the popular Galaxy Young, and has returned to bring us a bigger and better experience for the same teeny tiny price tag. So if you’re looking for a stylish and affordable handset to pop your smartphone cherry, the Galaxy Young 2 might be the perfect phone for you. Read on in our Samsung Galaxy Young 2 review for more…
Leather-look Design
When it comes to design, Samsung hasn’t compromised with the Galaxy Young 2, offering the same Samsung style as you get on any of the much pricier handsets. With a premium leather look back -just like the Note 4 phablet- and a dinky 3.5-inch screen, the Young 2 is the perfect transition from a traditional ‘dumb’ phone to the shiny world of the smartphone.
And because the handset is small, unlike the hefty 5-inch flagships flooding the market, it means that the Young 2 is super lightweight, weighing in at just 108 grams. So if you’re looking for a phone that doesn’t take up your entire handbag, the Galaxy Young 2 could be worth a go.

Android 4.4 KitKat on the Samsung Galaxy Young 2
The key difference between a feature phone and a smartphone when it comes down to it is apps, and the Samsung Galaxy Young 2 has them in abundance.
With Google’s Android OS on board, the Young 2 gives you access to one of the world’s biggest app stores which houses over 1 millions apps. So even if you’re not already a serial WhatsApper or a Facebook-aholic, you soon will be with the Young 2’s range.
Plus, Samsung hasn’t just brought you any old version of Android, oh no. With Android KitKat, one of the newest variations of the Google OS, your first smartphone will boast all of the same Android features as your much more expensive handsets on the market.
Easy to use with Samsung TouchWiz
Layered on top of Android KitKat sits Samsung’s own user interface, TouchWiz, which makes the Young 2 one a super easy phone to use.
While you’re still getting used to your first smartphone, the Samsung UI offers handy hints to guide you along the way, whilst the system’s intuitive set-up helps you customise your backgrounds and access your most used apps straight from the home screen.
And with no fewer than 8 Gameloft games preinstalled on the handset, the Galaxy Young 2 is any gamer’s delight!
