Samsung Galaxy Pocket is an
Android smartphone for those who really want to enjoy true Android
experience without damaging their pockets. The device runs Android
Gingerbread on-board and is equipped with a 832MHz processor, not so
good specs but still worth the price you’re paying for it. With every
Android device out there, there’re opportunities to go beyond what
manufacturer has to offer and that means rooting the device and getting
