Display Comparison

Both phones featured relatively small displays for their time, likely around 3.2-3.5 inches. The Galaxy Fit S5670 boasts a contrast ratio of 591:1, which was decent for the era, but display quality overall was limited by the technology available. The Galaxy 3 likely had a similar display, prioritizing affordability over premium visuals.

Camera Comparison

Both devices are listed as having a 'Photo' camera, suggesting basic camera functionality. Expect low resolution images and limited features. Image quality on both will be poor by today's standards, suitable only for quick snapshots in good lighting conditions. There's no clear winner here; both cameras were entry-level.

Performance

The Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 holds a slight advantage here. It's powered by a Samsung S5P6422 processor clocked at 667 MHz, while the Galaxy Fit S5670 uses a Mediatek MT6582M at 600 MHz. While the difference isn't massive, the Galaxy 3's processor generally offered a bit more responsive performance. Both phones will struggle with modern apps and multitasking.

Battery Life

Battery information is missing for both devices. However, given their age and processor capabilities, both likely offered a day's worth of moderate use. The Galaxy 3, potentially having a slightly more efficient processor, *might* have a marginal battery life advantage, but this is speculative.

Buying Guide

The Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670 might appeal to collectors or those seeking a very basic, ultra-budget phone for simple tasks. The Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 is a slightly better choice for anyone wanting a more functional, albeit still old, Android device for calls, texts, and light browsing.
