Verizon is doing two things: ballooning its collection of superpremium smartphones, and shrinking its feature phone and flip phone offerings. That leaves the carrier channeling budget-keepers toward middle-of-the-road smartphones, like the Samsung Illusion.
For $79.99, you get Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and a 1GHz single-core processor, plus all of Google’s services and Verizon’s V Cast apps. It’s a decent smartphone, thanks to hardware that can mostly hold up and software that’s by now standard. The Illusion is pure utility; just don’t expect to be wowed.
Watch the review, see the photos, and read all the pros and cons in the full Samsung Illusion review.
