Samsung Galaxy W i8150

Samsung Galaxy W i8150 Smartphone Price in the Philippines, Features and Other Details: We take a more discerning look at the Samsung Galaxy W and share with you our impressions of the handset. Read on for the full details.

Design and construction

The flagship device of Korean smartphone and tablet manufacturer Samsung as of the moment is the monster of a superphone Samsung Galaxy S2 / S II. And for good reason. The device has a massive screen and is very ferocious in terms of the components under its hood. It also comes with a price tag that might leave you a miser so if you want something more affordable and yet very capable, the Samsung Galaxy W is a very viable option.

In general, most of Samsung smartphones never got their aesthetics right and almost all of them look like they have been slashed off a block of black plastic. Even the mighty Galaxy S II falls prey to this and the Galaxy W is no exception either. The handset measures 115.5 x 59.8 x 11.5 mm and weighs in at 109.9 grams. With these numbers, the Galaxy W effectively puts itself in the middle grounds – not so thick, not so thin either. It is a lightweight though if you check how it tips the balance.

As for its construction, Samsung boasts of giving its handsets a well-built quality and feel and this is also a given in the cast of the Galaxy W. The whole front panel of the handset is covered in glass but its edges are plastic that pack brushed metal look. The back panel of the handset on the other hand is done in a matte black finish with dimple stampings to make it even easier to grip.

The right edge of the Galaxy W houses the lock button of the Galaxy W while its left flank contains the volume rocker. At the top edge of the device, we see its microUSB port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Despite the well-built quality that the Galaxy W packs, critics might still find the handset a bit cheap-looking because of the type of materials used in its construction. Well, I guess you just really can’t please everybody can you?

Under the hood

As mentioned earlier, though not as ferocious as the Galaxy S II when it comes to the internals that line up its guts, the Galaxy W is still a very capable handset that packs enough punch under the hood to get everything done in a snappy manner.

The handset is based on the Snapdragon platform and packs a QualComm MSM8255T SoC chipset right smack in the middle of its circuitry to ensure that every component in and around the chipset is doing what it is supposed to. In terms of its CPU, the Galaxy W has a single-core 1.4GHz Scorpion processor tasked to come up with the required computing power of the handset while a dedicated Adreno 205 graphics chip makes certain that all graphical matters are handled pretty well.

In terms of its system memory, the processor of the Galaxy W works in conjunction with 512 MB of RAM that acts as a backup in the running of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the operating system of the Galaxy W. As for its storage capacity, the Galaxy W comes with an internal memory pegged at 2GB. This can further be beefed up to as much as 32GB by making use of the dedicated microSD card slot for instant memory expansion in the handset.

The display

In terms of its display, though the Galaxy W didn’t get a SuperAMOLED Plus display, the one that eats up the majority of its front panel is capable enough to blast out images that are very sharp and vibrant. The display of the Galaxy W has a diagonal of 3.7 inches and is of the capacitive touchscreen type with a 800 x 480 resolution and pixel density of 252 pixels per inch. A physical home button along with two other touch-sensitive buttons are just below the display while sensors that add to the functionality of the Galaxy W are all integrated onto the device.

The shooters

The shooting department of the Galaxy W is pretty standard for a device in its class. It has a rear-facing camera with a 5MP resolution and this shooter has autofocus along with an LED flash. It can also capture images of up to 2592 x 1944 pixels and record 720p videos at 30 frames per second. A VGA snapper on the other hand is found at its front panel and this shooter is designed for use during video chats.

The bottom line

There is not much to say about the Samsung Galaxy W really. It obviously isn’t the Samsung Galaxy S II but the handset has its positive attributes as well. It may not be as classy-looking as the competition but the components under its hood more than make up for whatever shortcomings it has in the face value department. And the best part? It comes at a price point that will not break the bank.

Is the Samsung Galaxy W i8150 the best mid priced phone in the market?  In terms of pure speed it is. It combines the fast 1.4GHz processor with fast HSDPA 14.4 Mbps connectivity.
LG Optimus Black. It primary competitor, the Android powered LG Optimus Black has a slower processor/graphic combo under the hood with its 1 GHz Cortex-A8 processor, PowerVR SGX530 GPU and only supports up to HSDPA 7.2 Mbps connectivity. Given both Globe and Smart are rolling out HSDPA+ 21.1 Mbps networks the additional speed will be useful in the Philippines.

Still at Php15,990 the LG Optimus Black has a lot to offer despite not being the speed king. It has a larger more vibrant 4-inch (700-nit) 480 x 800 IPS display protected by Gorilla Glass. The LG Optimus Black has double the amount of user available internal storage at 1GB. Physically, the LG Optimus Black has a ultra slim 9.2 mm thin profile. The Samsung Galaxy W i8150 is not a thick phone, but at 11.5 mm it is thicker.

Basically it comes down to the larger screen and slimmer profile versus processor and internet connection speed. I would think the Samsung Galaxy W i8150, being a newer phone would have a better chance of being upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich, but don't count on that. With only 512MB of user storage, that might not happen. Still, Samsung was working on the Galaxy Nexus, it would be disappointing if they did not give this phone just enough room for an ICS upgrade. The ROM is actually 2GB, as big as the LG Optimus Black. So keep your fingers crossed.

It is a though call, and the Samsung Galaxy W i8150's processing and internet speed is tempting, but the absence of Gorilla Glass protection and the larger screen of the LG Optimus Black give it enough advantages. Let's call this one a draw.
HTC Desire S. The HTC Desire S price has gone down to Php19,000. The Desire S compares  better in terms of speed as against the Samsung Galaxy W i8150. Both run on Qualcomm scorpion processors and Adreno 205 graphics. The Samsung Galaxy W i8150 has a 40% advantage in clock speed, the HTC Desire S has 50% more RAM. Both phone support HSDPA 14.4 Mbps.

Between the Samsung Galaxy W i8150 and the HTC Desire S, very little separates them specifications wise. The HTC Desire S will Php3,000 cost you more which makes the Samsung Galaxy W i8150. Your Php3,000 will buy you a premium looking and well built aluminum unibody case, Gorilla Glass protected display, HTC Sense which is the best manufacturer built Android user interface and a bundled 8GB SD card.

HTC has not confirmed that the HTC Desire S is getting upgraded to ICS. But among the HTC Desire S, Samsung Galaxy W i8150 and  LG Optimus Black I think the Desire S has the best chance at being upgrated to ICS. Just don't blame me if the HTC Desire S is not updated to ICS, it is my best guess and nothing more than that.

Samsung I9250

Samsung I9250 Smartphone introduced in the flagship with a variety of advanced features for ease of multimedia and large screen. Advantages latest mobile phone that has a screen of up to 4.65 "and pinned the Super AMOLED technology for high display HD format, other specs Samsung uses the Android OS Ice Cream sandwich.Samsung I9250 smartphone features specification review

Specifications OS Android Ice Cream sandwich, which is currently operating the new system, mobile phone Samsung I9250 has a facing a very lean and thin. The latest mobile phones are starting to look at the opening ceremony the next IFA. According to sources who circulated said the chances of high-resolution HD present in this smartphone is 1280 x 720 pixels.

Rumors suggest Google in rush to release next version of Android OS Ice Cream Sandwich in order to compete head to head with the iPhone 5. While reports popping up iPhone 5 is expected to be announce in September and will launch in October, all of a sudden we saw a few leaked images of Ice Cream Sandwich surfaces online. To be honest, looking at those leaked images we were really disappointed. The leak screenshots were nothing more than just a UI improvement of Gingerbread.

Back in Google I/O when Ice Cream Sandwich were announced Google told us that ICS will merge Android Phones and Tablet in one OS and will bring more refined and Optimized Honeycomb OS to devices. Now what we saw in the leak ICS screenshots is certainly hard to believe.

According to vast sources next Nexus Smartphone which will bring Ice Cream Sandwich will also feature next generation of hardware such as HD Screen, Quad core processor and will also bring huge improvements in performance, up to 1.8x over the current Android OS. The major manufacturer like HTC, Samsung, LG and Motorola are in work to be the one to bring next Nexus phone could named as Nexus Prime. If companies are promised to keep the expected specs unchanged we won’t be able to see Nexus Prime before 2012. Now if Google rush to release a premature Nexus phone and Ice Cream Sandwich that won’t bring any good for Android (as we saw Google rushed to launch Motorola Xoom with honeycomb in the timeframe of iPad 2).
In a recent leaked Samsung roadmap we saw the company preparing a handful Android devices, one of them is Samsung I9250 will feature  a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD display, with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. It apparently will have a powerful 1.4Ghz dual-core processor as and will be running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Perhaps, would it be the Nexus Prime? This is the kind of phone we are looking for Ice Cream Sandwich. The above mockup of Samsung I9250 which perfectly tell the story.

Let’s hope someone at Google will read this article. We wouldn’t mind if Google take a few months more to present us what we are hoping to see in Ice Cream Sandwich. Take a minute to add your comment and let us know what you think.

Stay tuned with us at Facebook and Twitter, Google Plus to get update on latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich and Nexus Prime

Samsung Infuse 4G Android smartphone

Finally the wait is over, AT&T will finally get its first 4G (LTE) Android phones on November 6. At first, Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket and HTC Vivid are two devices that will hit the shelves.

The Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket will feature a 4.5” (480×800) display with Super-AMOLE Plus technology, 1.5GHz dual core CPU, 16GB internal storage, 8Mp rear camera (1080p capable) and a 2Mp front camera.

The HTC Vivid, on the other hand, will offer a 4.5” (540×980) qHD display, 1.2 GHz dual-core CPU, 16GB of internal storage and also a 8Mp rear camera (1080p capable).

The Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket will set you back $250 and the HTC Vivid will go for $200. You can get these smartphones at the price provided that you’re willing to sign a 2-year contract.

In case you confused, this is the first time AT&T gets real 4G devices. For marketing purposes, AT&T intentionally misled customers by selling its advanced 3G connection as 4G, because the speed closely matches the real 4G network.

However, you should buy these devices only if you live in an area with AT&T’s 4G access and are willing to shell an extra cash to purchase a data plan. AT&T’s 4G data plan will start at $15 (DataPlus), which will give you 200MB of data and you need to spend another $15 to get an additional 200MB of data. DataPro will cost subscribers $25 for 2GB of data and $10 for 1GB of additional data.

DataPro will cost subscribers $25 for 2GB of data and $10 for 1GB of additional data.
If you can’t fathom how fast this is, imagine a 3G broadband connection will allow you to download up to 600Kbps. Then, compare that with 4G which tops at 10-12 Mbps – it’s a cool 10x difference! With HTC EVO 4G, you can surf the net, download videos, mp3s, ringtones and perhaps play online games on your mobile phones in a snap!

The HTC EVO 4G has a lot to offer with an upgrade of 8MP dual LED flash camera and a 1.3MP front-facing camera that is good for video conference and calls. HTC HD2 and Nexus One will be a thing of the past with EVO 4G’s 720p HD-quality video capture coupled with HDMI ready connector port. And to accommodate such large quantity of data, the smartphone will have 1GB ROM and 512RAM coupled with expandable microSD slot that can handle up to 32GB.

One problem we see however, is the limitation in geographic usage for this smartphone. Third world countries and other nations in the East haven’t installed 4G networks yet. Thus, people would probably think twice before buying the phone since they won’t be able to utilize its ultra fast connection. Well, we’re still hoping for the best. Miracles do happen nowadays right?

We prefer not to divulge all information in a snap or your brain would probably melt from information overload. But all in all, the HTC Evo 4G might be the next big step on smartphone technology. We are very eager to witness its official release on summer of this year. However, Sprint is stingy on giving information regarding its price.

The new AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G Android smartphone has been revealed at CES Vegas 2011 Show and we have details covering specs and hands-on love.

Samsung Mobile and AT&T at the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 have announced the brand new 4G device running Google Android 2.2 Froyo operating system and the specifications looks promising to say the least, according to Techtree this new handset seems to be the successor to the Samsung Galaxy S and will be due for release in 2011 sometime and of course we will keep you posted on official release dates.

Ok, so what does the Samsung Infuse 4G feature then? Well for starters it boasts a huge 4.5-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen display, only 9mm thick or should we say 9mm thin, which makes this one of the thinnest smartphones in the Samsung series, 1.2GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor has been added, Android 2.3 Gingerbread update is expected to come after its release, 720p HD video recording and an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 1.3 megapixel VGA camera on the front for video calling.

Other features Include: HSPA+CAT14 network, up to 21Mbps data speeds on 4G networks, for more information on specs please visit Engadget as they have some nice details.

Below you can see a nice image of the new Samsung Infuse 4G smartphone but you can see real hands-on photos via the Engadget gallery, even though the guys had their hands on the device the handset was not allowed to be switched on.

Surprisingly, this 4.5-inch beauty, as large as it is, doesn't carry a weight proportional to its dimensions.  At just 4.9oz., it's one of the lighter smartphones on the market right now and it helps the feeling of "pocketability" with the device. In addition, its 1.2GHz processor is powered by a rather stout 1750mAh battery and Samsung's new Super AMOLED Plus display reportedly consumes less power on average versus their previous generation Super AMOLED screens. All, told the Infuse 4G is a potent package on paper. Let's get a closer look at its design and build quality

New Samsung Omnia i900

Samsung phones are in widespread and popular as Nokias these days and that success has come as a result of consistently producing sleek, good-looking handsets with mass appeal. But Samsung also wants a share of the iPhone action, it seems, and has made great efforts to produce one of its own.

In Omnia, like the HTC Touch Diamond, is based on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and a Diamond it replaces large parts of Microsoft ugly and fiddly smartphone user interface with one of Samsung design in an attempt to provide iPhone style touch screen experience.

Physically, Samsung Omnia i900 is very similar to the iPhone 3G, much more than the Diamond, complete with a thin, candybar form factor, large screen dominates the front panel and minimalist controls. Compare phones side by side and find that dimensions are remarkably similar, too, that the Omnia is slightly slimmer, narrower and shorter than the iPhone 3G, 12,5 x 112 x 56.9 millimeters compared with 12 3 x 115.5 x 62 millimeters.


And how exactly stack to another location? Well, as you would expect from a modern Windows smartphone, Samsung Omnia has a pile of features and many of them seem to match or outstrip the equivalent of the iPhone 3G. He has a five-megapixel camera on the rear with LED flash and VGA video call camera on the front - of the iPhone three megapixels less and it will feature video chat. It also has HSDPA to 7.2Mb/sec, A 624MHz processor, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, A GPS receiver and FM radio. Plus it comes with a decent helping of storage - either 8GB or 16GB with microSD expansion as well.

Its screen, however, at 3.2 inches is not quite as spacious as a luxury iPhone and its 400 x 280 resolution is small. Samsung Omnia has also 3.5 millimeters socket for headphones and even conversion Dongle included in the box, we would rather not have to carry around an adapter just to listen to music and it seems unnecessary given the large luggage supervision that is available.

However, the Samsung Omnia's camera is the main highlight here. His ability is the main headline: five megapixels is the highest resolution I have ever seen in Windows Mobile device, but it also has image stabilization, which means you do not have to rely on less than LED-Ideal "Flash" in difficult lighting. The results are impressive. Inevitable given without lens shots are less noisy low light and focus a touch soft, but they are more than acceptable. You can use the Omnia for proper snaps - not just contact profile pictures.
