Samsung Omnia 7 review

July 18th, 2011

Samsung holds the distinction of designing the flagship handsets in both the Android and Windows Phone 7 camps. The Galaxy S was used as the basis of the Google Nexus S, while the Samsung Omnia 7 is the most attractive of the Microsoft-based models. It’s also the brightest, sporting a 4in SuperAmoLED display.

Available on contract from Orange or 3, the Samsung Omnia 7 tips the scales at 138g, but feels heavier. This is perhaps due to its tough aluminium casing. However, it’s a scant 11mm thick (a smidgen less than the LG Optimus 7). It’s 64mm across – broader than we’d like; we found it difficult to clasp.

HTC calls the screen on its Desire HD handset ‘cinematic’, and we can only describe the Omnia 7 in similar terms. When you power it on, the opening page is even in suitably Art Deco lettering. Since the display is so bright anyway, it’s a relief to find the Windows Phone OS tiles rendered in a fairly muted blue. Whereas some of the other Windows-based phones impose their own take on how the OS should behave, Samsung has let the hardware do the talking.

Given the visual credentials, it’s no surprise to find photos almost supernaturally lifelike, while the 1GHz dual-core processor ensures smooth video playback. Unusually, the Samsung supports 25fps video recording as well as Mpeg, H.264, H.263 and WMV.

Although there’s no promise of Dolby Mobile audio enhancements, the Omnia 7 offers a pleasing entertainment setup. It boasts a pair of speakers, Bluetooth 2.1, an FM radio, 3.5mm audio jack and the Zune Wi-Fi media-sharing feature that’s native to the OS.

With these aural credentials, we were in little doubt that call volume and clarity would pass muster. The heavyweight physical build of this device seems to give extra throatiness to music playback and more depth to the spoken word.

Slightly less impressive is the 5Mp camera, but only because the 8Mp LG impressed us so much. You do, however, get a dedicated camera hardware button: something we missed on many of its rivals.

Nexus S (Google)

Nexus S (Google)

Nexus S (Google)

The first phone to ship with Google Android 2.3 (also known as “Gingerbread”) as well as the follow-up to last January’s Google Nexus One, the Samsung Nexus S (available unlocked for £550 or free with a £35-per-month contract from Carphone Warehouse) is a joint effort between Samsung and Google with some impressive features. Indeed, you are likely to find it branded as the ‘Google Nexus S‘.

The Samsung or Google Nexus S’s hardware is gorgeous, and Google Android 2.3 delivers some useful enhancements; but with no support for HSPA+ or expandable memory, the Nexus S falls short of its potential.

iPhone 4

iPhone 4 Overview

iphone 4 reviewIt’s good to be the king. Or at least it was. Until the rest of the land began forming their own castles and employing their own hierarchical structures and empowering their own citizens. Yes, the iPhone 4 is a dazzling new device that sits in a faded throne. Rather than feel an ever-present sense of complacence, the iPhone 4 has to stand guard day and night. Samsung’s Galaxy S phones, HTC’s Droid Incredible and EVO, Motorola’s Droid X and Droid 2 and Blackberry’s Bold 9800 are encroaching and threatening to usurp the smartphone crown.

Have no fear, for the iPhone 4 offers some essential and shiny upgrades like its Retina display, 5-megapixel camera with 720p, FaceTime Web chat, and bolstered processing guts. But with so many other advanced smartphone kingdoms forming over the neighboring hills, the iPhone 4′s upgrades can only solidify its place as one of the premiere entertainment smartphones rather than a business powerhouse as well. Let’s let down the drawbridge and head inside the castle.

Samsung Fascinate Overview

September 17th, 2010

review Samsung Fascinate

If you happen to be like any Verizon Wireless customer in the present day who is on the prowl for a new smartphone, the options can be daunting—even more so if you’re not tied to a carrier. The Samsung Fascinate is Verizon’s piece of the Samsung Galaxy S solar system, and it’s one of the better choices on the market. The way we see it is you’re either a Google/Droid fanatic, or you just want a nice Android phone. The Samsung Fascinate follows in the Galaxy S tradition with a Super AMOLED screen, speedy operation, oodles of social networking tools, and great storage capacity. The Fascinate also offers more than the AT&T Captivate and T-Mobile Vibrant by adding an LED flash along with the 2GB of built-in Flash memory. We weren’t crazy over the Fascinate’s cheap design and although the camera was good, it failed to meet the likes of the iPhone 4′s camera. However, the Samsung Fascinate is a solid device that is definitely worth a look, even though it might be overshadowed by the HTC Droid Incredible, Motorola Droid X, and Motorola Droid 2.

Samsung Intercept

August 26th, 2010

When we reviewed the Samsung Moment on Sprint in November 2009, there weren’t a lot of Android handsets on the market. Things have certainly changed in a little more than a half year, and Samsung’s replacement, the Intercept, has a lot of competition. The Intercept is a starter Android smartphone, and though its features pale in comparison to the HTC EVO 4G and upcoming Samsung Epic 4G (a Galaxy S phone with slider keyboard), it costs half the price. Not everyone wants to jump into a large and expensive smartphone, and the kinda cute Intercept targets those who want to start with something affordable and pocketable.

AT&T Plans 5 Android Smartphones in 2010

August 25th, 2010

AT&T Android SmartphonesAT&T plans to launch five Android-based devices from a range of handset makers including Dell, HTC and Motorola by first half of 2010. Three of these — the Motorola smartphone, Dell’s first Android smartphone currently available only in China and Brazil, and a new HTC smartphone — will be exclusive to the AT&T network. The company made the announcement at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show.

The move is a big win for the Google-designed open source Android operating system that made its debut in October 2008. Android launched on the HTC-designed T-Mobile G1 phone. Since then, at least 10 Android phones have hit the market including devices from handset makers such as Samsung and LG. Even Google has launched its own Android phone. The Google Nexus One phone designed by HTC arrived Tuesday. » Read more: AT&T Plans 5 Android Smartphones in 2010
