The Samsung Galaxy Discover (SGH-S730M/G) is a smartphone manufactured by Samsung that runs the Android operating system. It was released to the budget market and was known to perform poorly due to its obsolete specifications.[2] Because of its poor specs, this device is one of the few Android phones released by Samsung to not use TouchWiz or any custom skin.[3] This device was available through prepaid carriers such as Cricket Wireless and TracFone.[4]
