It is available in two colors, black and white. It runs on Android v4.4 KitKat supporting Dual SIM and is considered as a mediocre phone not that best as it was expected from Samsung. However, Samsung did try to provide most of its features more advance than its previous versions.

Design and Quality
The mobile comes with a display screen larger enough of 4.3-inch along with resolution of 480x800p and it does well while user plays games or watches videos. The design of the phone is similar to its brother Samsung Star pro which was released earlier this year as most of the Samsung Galaxy designs are almost similar. It has good build quality as it is made up of plastic without using any metal. The only issue with its design is that the back panel is very much thin and this is the issue normally comes with almost every mobile of Samsung. Apart from this, there is no issue in the design of Samsung Galaxy Star Advance. The performance quality is also good as Samsung keeps up its promises always. The volume buttons are placed at the left side of the phone while the power button at the right side. At the back of the phone, is the Samsung label and a 3MP camera at the center.

OS and Tech
The devices hold Android v4.4 KitKat OS. This powerful OS gives it the flexibility to run every Android app. Other key technologies it supports include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. It is proving a tough challenger to many of the smartphones already present in the market like Moto E, Asus Zenfone 4, Micromax Unite 2, Intex Aqua Curve Mini and many others due to its remarkable shape, design and features.
Camera and Multimedia
The phone comes with primary camera of 3MP at the rear along with LED flash to give better quality low light performance. This much camera functionality is very rudimentary and basic and gives only rudimentary picture quality which is not much appreciable. It doesn’t have the front camera. The only camera also helps the user in recording videos which is of moderate quality and it also helps in video conferencing of moderate quality. The videos played by it is of again not much good quality but better to be seen at Samsung Galaxy Star Advance than any other phone of similar specification available in the market.
Battery and Memory
Samsung Galaxy Star Advance has moderate level RAM of 512MB to handle apps multitasking but these features may lay this smartphone back from its competitors as there many smartphones having similar specification but higher RAM like 1GB or 2GB. Here the performance of the Samsung Galaxy Star Advance may hamper. The battery life of the phone is 1800mAh which is not much impressive but provides a decent battery life for moderate phone usage. But this should have been enhanced to support longer mobile use.
