Samsung Captivate Glide Review

KimD — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:14:17 +0000

Samsung has proven itself to make reliable smart phones and the Captivate Glide is no exception. A solid build, light with a plastic exterior and a pebbled textured back, it’s comfortable to hold and easy to slide the keyboard in and out. It separates itself from the other smart phones hitting the market by having a physical keyboard, which is becoming less and less common, as well as being more on the average size instead of being a large phone. Measuring 4.9 by 2.5 by 0.5, the Captivate Glide is more appealing to the masses that have normal sized hands. It’s easy to use one handed and is comfortable when slipped into your pocket. The screen is 4 inches with 480×800 pixel resolution Super AMOLED display. The screen has good contrast, color saturation and viewing angles, providing great graphics and text. Under the screen you can easily slide out the 4 row QWERTY keyboard that has function buttons built into the keyboard, good sized keys and a well-spaced layout.

Running the Captivate Glide is a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor, 1GB of RAM and the standard Samsung TouchWiz user interface, which is easy to customize and organize. If you find yourself using the screen keyboards instead of the physical one, the 3 on-screen keypads are easy to type on as well, especially if you use SWYPE. The Captivate Glide does run on AT&T HSPA+ network, which has proven itself to be a fast and reliable network. The Captivate Glide has an 8 megapixel camera and takes great pictures. It also has 720p HD video capture and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera. The Captivate Glide has Bluetooth capabilities, Wi-Fi, mobile hotspot, an NFC chip, DLNA, SyncML, HDMI, email capabilities, FM Radio and a multimedia player. It comes preloaded with plenty of apps to get you started, from the Amazon Market to AT&T standard apps to Facebook and Twitter. The 1650mAh battery will get you through a full day of average usage without a charge.

For an Android smart phone, the Samsung DoubleTime i857 looks like a feature phone, with a flip open design revealing another touch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard. An entry level smart phone, probably aimed at the younger crowd, comes at a budget price from AT&T. The phone measures 4.45 by 2.44 by 0.59, making it thick and compact. It also gives it a more durable feel especially compared to the razor thin phones. The two screens are both 3.2 inches with 320×480 pixel resolution and support 262,144 colors.

Samsung Galaxy Note Review

KimD — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 03:52:49 +0000

The Samsung Galaxy Note definitely differentiates itself from other smart phones on the market by its size. Is it a small tablet or a large smart phone? Instead of getting a tablet and a smart phone, like so many other people have, this combines both products into one. It measures 5.78 by 3.27 by 0.38 inches. The 5.3 inch screen take up most of the front of the phone. You may worry that with this large of a screen, the graphics and text will be pixelated. Samsung thought this through and provided a Super AMOLED 800×1280 pixel resolution screen, so everything is crisp and clean.
