Pros

The Samsung Galaxy S Lightray 4G is the first U.S. phone that tunes into free digital TV. The handset boasts 4G LTE, a colorful screen, and attractive build quality.
Fast performance, great size, fast data when available
Snappy performance and good graphics; Long battery life; Fast 4G downloads; Good audio
Compact design, Peppy performance, Great calling quality, Above average battery life
Smooth, fast performance, HSPA 42 is fast, Good camera.
The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G offers a pretty 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, Android Gingerbread, a solid 5-megapixel camera, a speedy 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and T-Mobile's faster HSPA+ 42 speeds. We found call quality was also quite good.

Cons

The Galaxy S Lightray 4G is big and bulky and has a slow processor and old Android OS. Its Dyle TV service offers only four channels.
Questionable display, loads of preinstalled apps
Display not the sharpest; Heavy on T-Mobile apps and widgets; Lacks HDMI output
Lackluster 720p video recording, Running Gingerbread out of the box
Cannot remove many preinstalled apps, No Ice Cream Sandwich.
The Blaze 4G's promised data speeds didn't always deliver during tests, and the chassis looks a little plain.
