If the Android phone was a child, after AT & T perceived lack of commitment to the platform should be the subject of a profound reassessment of their relationship.
Selection underwhelming at & T's Android phones is historically as the equivalent of carrier to a generic greeting with message hand-written card. Add AT & T more serious progress towards sexy for Apple iPhone and one could even say that it was a breakdown in order.
Until now.
With the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, AT & T finally has a superphone in good faith to enhance his previously lukewarm Android offering. Is this enough to get the girl - or a consumer Android lovers?
The physicist
I did not was feeling quite the look of the version of AT & T of the Galaxy S at the beginning. At the time, however, began to grow on me.
Elegant design of Captivate feels thin with tapered sides. 4 Inches sports Gorilla glass display a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels and it is easily one of the best I've seen, the Super AMOLED display is very beautiful. Visibility of the screen has a hit of vampire under direct sunlight, however. Weightwise, 4.5 ounces of Captivate is slightly lighter than an iPhone 4.
The brain drain
Processor 1 GHz of Captivate is pleasant and zippy and runs the Android 2.1 OS quite well.
You have means Android will get a proven OS that integrates well with Google as Google Maps and Gmail offers. Fans of networks and social media will also like Nice synergy of Captivate with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Yes, people, post a sensible message or video that you might have problems is easier that never with this phone so be sure to dismiss the liquor to do it, OK?
Also carries out the Captivate 3.0 skin has been customized for Samsung for the Android OS. While typical consumers no matter their additional bells and whistles, tinkerers of gadget that they hate pejorative and know their way around values Android probably won't be so happy.
The skin of a manufacturer also means that it is mercy of Samsung for OS upgrades. An update to Android 2.2 is coming but Samsung doesn't guarantee anything after that.
Characteristics and performance
The battery of the Captivate is excellent and easily lasted one day of normal use. This includes some navigation on the Web and social networks also liberal use of GPS.
Talk to the Captivate time coincidence of the six hours of Samsung. The call quality is clear in ideal reception, but an audio quality is a bit light in normal configuration. Sound while browsing is also not as strong in maximum volume as some other smart phones I've tried.
Captivate touchscreen keyboard is one of the best I've seen so far and is made even more by the inclusion of Swype. Pictures through the camera of 5 Megapixels are good but not great. Shots at night and low light taken above all a success, which is aggravated by the lack of a flash.
Video capture, on the other hand, is excellent and arrives until 720 p high-def. colors are not quite as saturated as the iPhone 4 – which can be good or bad, depending on your point of view. Video quality still suffers indoors in low light, however.
GPS navigation has the bad habit of "return to calculate" Midway of routes and provide directions wrong, only to return to calculate again and return to the original correct orientation. This happened with AT & T and Google navigation programs, so I'm not sure if this is a problem of network or device.
Still, with the addition of the Galaxy S Captivate, AT & T has been more than simply giving chocolates to now introduce Android to her mom. Talk to obtain stronger on the potential arrival of the iPhone on Verizon, to add good phones Android is certainly a step in the right direction.
The S Captivate not only the best Android phone on AT & T stable now. I believe that it is also one of the best Android phones in any company.
