Cons

Gigantic, 4G LTE kind of a letdown, Horrendous battery life
Plastic shell, Underwhelming specs, Inconsistent TouchWiz UI, Expensive, Some permanent bloatware
Unreliable data connections, poor battery life, sluggish user interface
TouchWiz 3.0 is slow, buggy, and in no way improves the user experience. With TouchWiz 4.0 coming on the Galaxy S II (and being exceptionally fast), one can hope the Charge will get the bump to TW4 when it receives Android 2.3, If you live in a 3Gonly cov

The Samsung Droid Charge has the best display that we’ve seen on a mobile phone. We found it even superior to the iPhone 4’s Retina Display. The screen is crisp and clear. Colors pop and details are a delight to the eye. Combine that with a...

The DROID Charge is an excellent device. We absolutely love the Super AMOLED Plus display, and while we still prefer stock Android, TouchWiz isn’t too bad. It will leave a huge dent on your wallet though — at $300, it ain’t cheap. If...

In theory, the Samsung Droid Charge is a high-quality phone. Its screen is one of the most beautiful that I've ever seen, the processing power is respectable, and it's one of the few devices that's available on Verizon's esteemed 4G LTE...

As the second LTE smartphone available for Verizon, the Droid Charge offers a glimpse as to what is to come. New technology always seems to start off big and slow, and the Droid Charge is no exception. That being said, speed addicts will be so...

Overall the Samsung Droid Charge ranks in with an 'Average' ranking. While the design, display, and features of the phone are great, the hardware and software is definitely where it begins to disappoint. When looked upon closely, the hardware...
