- 80AVERAGE CRITIC SCORE6 ReviewsCNET80Samsung Droid ChargeThe bottom line: It's not the prettiest or most advanced smartphone, but the Samsung Droid Charge takes advantage of Verizon's great 4G data speeds, while offering decent battery life.Engadget80Droid Charge review -- EngadgetThe Droid Charge is a total sleeper. We'll be perfectly honest that we weren't expecting to be wowed but, well, we're certainly impressed...overall, this is a very good phone. The only real disappointment? A plastic design that probably will be looking a bit rough after a few months in your pocket.PC World90Samsung ChargeThe LTE speeds dazzle, the AMOLED display shines, and you get a free mobile hotspot at least for a little while. What’s not to like? Well, the battery life disappoints, but that may not be enough to spoil the fun.SlashGear80DROID Charge Review - SlashGearThe DROID Charge by Samsung, however, is a far more balanced device, with plenty on its own to recommend it. The plastic chassis doesn’t exactly inspire us with confidence, but the Super AMOLED Plus display is a joy and the battery life sufficient for a day’s use.Ubergizmo70Droid Charge ReviewThe Samsung Droid Charge is a phone that comes with an awesome data speed connectivity, but it does so in style: the design looks great, the phone feels good, and although its raw performance could be better, the sheer network speed should make the experience enjoyable.Android Central80Samsung Droid Charge reviewA question you'll undoubtedly ask is "If I don't have 4G, why would I want this phone?" Well, maybe one day you will have LTE data. And in the meantime, you're getting a very nice smartphone with a beautiful (large) screen -- one certainly worth of its "Droid" name.

I have not regretted my choice. I am a blogger and I write daily posts I use the phone most to keep up with my readers using the WordPress App. I also am a producer and keep my portfolio on my phone in case I need to prove myself or just show off a little. The phone is very professional and quick, It keeps me going in my personal and professional life. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to do well in life.Engadget Reader80November 21, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!There's a lot to like about this in spite of a few flaws. - EngadgetEngadget Reader90October 25, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category. We highly recommend it. - EngadgetEngadget Reader80October 22, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!This is overall a pretty descent phone. I only have two major complaints with it: 1) Samsung's customization of the phone is a little annoying and 2) Both Samsung and the developer community have pretty much abandoned or ignored the phone. Because of the second reason this phone still does not have an official Gingerbread update available for it and rooting/moding the phone is extremely difficult.Engadget Reader70July 15, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A dependable product that doesn't really stand out from the competition. - EngadgetEngadget Reader80May 29, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!This is a good phone but not a great one. Beautiful screen and light weight are plusses. Battery life and call quality are minuses.Engadget Reader80May 23, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!There's a lot to like about this in spite of a few flaws. - Engadget
