Samsung Star S5233 vs. LG Cookie KP500

A lot of people are asking which of these two entry-level touchscreen phones is better — the new Samsung S5233 Star or the older LG Cookie KP500 — and I’d say they are just brothers from a different mother.

Check out the comparative chart below and you’d be surprised how much specs these two phones share with each other. They’re like clones — down to the thickness.

Of course, the LG Cookie got beaten in the charts by the Samsung Star with a minuscule difference in internal memory, VGA recording and battery rating. The LG Cookie is about 500 bucks cheaper though.

    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
    for a paid option? There are so many options out
    there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas?
    Appreciate it!

  14. Yuuna says:

    I have Samsung s5233w for over 2 months, and I’m impressed. I have the wifi version of it, that’s why I love using the wifi if I’m away from home. I think it’s safe to say that Samsung s5233w (or without wifi) is better than LG Cookie.

  15. blahbby says:

    samsung is way better than lg….
    specially the features..it is also released slightly later than lg cookie….but which makes star better is that they enhanced it and launched samsung star wifi and tv..which clearly makes it a better phone than lg…PEACE TAU LG!!:))

  16. Angelo Amponin says:

    Okay thanks par! Is it true na nauubusan na ng samsung star sa mga stores?

  17. Benjo says:

    Got one for 9900, online ko kasi binili.. Probably it’s cheaper sa greenhills.. sa mga shop sa mall kasi 10400 pa…

  18. angeloamponin says:

  30. Belen says:

    Hi, I have the LG Cookie and my best friend has the Samsung Star, both mobiles are good but it’s true that the battery life is a little bit poor in the LG Cookie because it lasts 2 days and in the Samsung Star like 5 days, but I guess that’s because I didn’t do the first charge good, but the fact of the battery it’s not a problem for me…and yes they’re so similar in the rest of the thing

    sorry if I have a bad english…I’m spanish

    xoxoxo

  31. eryan says:

    yah…samsung nalang ako..tnx sa mga coment nakatulong talaga..

  32. jonathan says:

    i had my cookie since the first day it came out. it was ok at first but i was very disappointed w/ its camera! it really sucks!!! now im xprncng the “common problem” of cookie phone owners world wide wherein the phone resets when i open the gallery. this coming new year the first thing on my list is to have a software reset and then sell the phone. i would never try another lg phone again. 3.2 megapix sound good but the pic looks like vga standard. guys my brother in law whose from uk is using the star and image/picture wise, it way more better!
    go for the star.
    To LG: next tym stand by what you say the specs of the phone/item is bec that will bring your company down!

  33. Hanna says:

    i just bought my samsung star 3 weeks ago. and it’s really good. i don’t like some of the features of lg cookie and my classmate told me that lg touch screen phones are always hanging so i prefer to samsung star :)

  34. Gurdeep Singh says:

    I would rather suggest samsung star 3G. Battery life is awesome. Touch screen is sensitive. It comes with a audio socket on the hand’s free for big speakers and also has a 3.2 MP camera with a good quality flash.

  104. Wablief says:

    I’m going for the LG Cookie I guess. Cause the diffrence is like nothing. The diffrence in thickness is still not there i think it holds the same. But I’m buying the Cookie, because i like the looks of the Cookie more. And all my friends got the Star, so I want to blink out and buy the Cookie. ^,^

    – video
    4. Radio/Music Player

    7. Accelerometer – tilting to either side and photos slide to that direction
    8. Long battery life
    9. Customizable desktops
    10. Great call reception
    11. Special lock key
    12. Multiple use for volume keys

  116. Rajesh says:

    Please someone give me details of Handwriting Recognition features of both the mobiles…

    I think LG Cookie has more features compared to Star like whole word recognition, special character recognition… Does Star support full word recognition and special character recognition?

  117. francis says:

  121. jobel says:

    LG COOKIE IS BEST PHONE..
    …SUPER ROCK…………:):):):)

  124. Spify says:

    on average how long does the cookie and star’s battery life last and how often do you use it? (im not talking the specs) i need a phone that will last all day while constant phoning, texting, java application use and listening to music. which lasts longer when put to practice?

    First I bought LG, then my about 3 months later my wife gets Samsung Star. From there I know, Samsung’s photos results are far more better, and the widgets is far more funner, and others that I can’t describe. In the end, I sold my LG and bought myself Samsung yesterday, and its worth it

  130. evanonsense says:

    @baitanyao
    You mean to say, you got your Samsung Star in MOA for only 10,700 with 8GB MicroSD Memory Card included?

    I got mine at Greenhills with 8GB MIcroSD Memory Card for 10,900.

  131. raul says:

    I just bought the samsung start and complete this very high quality and I recommend it, buy it in mexico liverpool this father is not only brings stylus pen

  132. 4zero says:

    Samsung Star’s memory card isn’t hot swappable unlike LG Cookie. The things i don’t like with the cookie is that you can’t customize your widgets, poor battery life (unless changed with LG aftermarket batteries) and no 3.5mm or 2.5mm dedicated audio port.

    my LG Cookie came with 2GB Micro SD card.

    the Cookie and Star are ALMOST the same but in the end its up to the user.

    so before buying the Cookie or Star test both handsets first.

  134. akki says:

    hey..thnx buddy…m goin for d star..bcoz although both hv d same features but d battery back-up n looks of star beats d cookie in jss 1 go..!!

  135. cibi says:

    lg looks good but still compared to star it sucks.its great to move on with star.

  136. ken says:

    i just want to know about the durability of this phone..tnx

  137. hernan says:

    para ustedes cual es el mejor el samsung star o el lg kp 500.¿cua tiene mejor reproductor de musica?

  138. Naresh says:

    Hi:)

  139. Martin says:

    got my star about two weeks ago and i wasnt disappointed.

  140. Hamz says:

    from where you bought samsung star in moa, is there any pink unit?

  141. Owen says:

    i’m planning to buy samsung star, where in moa did u get to buy it for 10k?

  142. Owen says:

    i’m planning to uy samsung star, where in moa did u get to buy it for 10k?

  143. neojan says:

    I think LG Cookie KP500 is better in terms of phone software features rather than the samsung star.

  144. eLwOid says:

    …uhmmm….i am now using samsung star…and it’s great!!!>….worth it!….but the problem for both phgone is that they do not have wi-fi….huhuhuh….so discouraging…well….i’m now contented with my samsung star….

  145. baitian yao says:

    i just bought Samsung Star 3 weeks ago at Mall of Asia at 10,700. It’s just your ordinary phone only bigger and touch screen but i can say the music quality is great and 8GB Micro SD memory is aint bad. Now, i rarely use my ipod touch. Star is user friendly and battery life is longer compare to other phones.

  146. bigmindsky says:

    The downside to both is no 3G connectivity. It has EDGE only.

  147. neogenesis says:

    i just bought a samsung star for my wife, samsung made a better deal with free 1 GB micro SD and pouch. LG Cookie has none.

  148. claro says:

    i prefer the samsung star.

  149. ITHA says:

    I have the cookie, its not bad though, but, the internet connection and camera is suck, i think id buy Samsung star, coz a phone seller toldme star has a great 4nternet connection

  150. kuya says:

    damn! the cookie still cost 2k more here in Cagayan de Oro! WTF! O_O

  151. mark says:

    I think I’ll go for the Samsung Star.

    There are some reviews from CgeNa.com and on Speed magazine saying that it has poor battery life. But there is an updated review from GSM Arena that there are few improvements made by Samsung.

    There is no stylus anymore and battery life is improved.

    in the end Samsung Star is stil for me.

  152. Yogesh says:

    hey ppl,

    both are of same range in price.. but the bat back up is less in lg.

    LG:
    Stand-by Up to 350 h
    Talk time Up to 3 h 30 min

    Samsung:
    Stand-by Up to 600.00hrs
    Talk time Up to 13 hrs 00 min

    check for reviews. i hv seen the same sep in all the wesites.

  153. erdis says:

    and which one is cheaper?

  154. minnie me says:

    LG Cookie is cheaper because it is older… And I believe the sudden decrease in price is due to Star’s release in the market.

  155. cris says:

    nice analysis yuga. Short and compact yet very informative.

  156. Carlo says:

    Looks like a toss-coin choice for me. Either one would do.

  157. technophobia says:

    note that this phones use: proprietary operating systems. so not much softwares are available except java…

    Both of my office mates own this two phones I prefer the samsung…^_^

  158. whaâ„¢ says:

    just got my samsung star for almost 2 weeks and i find it more usefull than the cookie. star now cost 10K in MOA.

  159. techme says:

    i think i’ll go with lg cookie coz it’s cheaper :D

  160. chester says:

    OT: sir abe, cn u please post a review for the new 5730 xpressmusic? its released n dw here in the phils eh. thnx!

  161. Pipo says:

    Images + texts makes the entry easier to understand. Keep it up yuga.

  162. myepinoy says:

    so both of them are using resistive touchscreens. Do they support multi-touch?

    if not, these two are not worth your money. pede pang display or just to show na touch screen na phone na gamit. lol

  163. eithan® says:

    yeah u’r sir yuga they are brother in different mother.hahaha

  164. william says:

    wow its really almost the same

  165. Nino Natividad says:
