Samsung Fascinate: A deeper look!

 

Samsung Fascinate is the newest offering of Samsung mobiles in the Galaxy S series. This phone has a 4 inch touch screen AMOLED display. The display of this phone is one of the most desirable features of this phone which makes it better than any other in its category. A thorough Samsung Fascinate review tells us more about the phone which is the fourth generation of the Galaxy S phones by Samsung which runs on Android 2.1 Eclair. This can be a sad thing for many geeks as Google has already launched Android 2.3 Gingerbread in many smart phones but it supports almost all the Android applications. The hardware of the phone is good which makes it a fast device to work with no complaint of hanging up so a boon for many power users. Samsung Fascinate supports a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor and 512Mb of RAM is good enough to play a 3D adventure epic or a latest Hollywood action release. The ergonomics of the phone makes it fit well in the hands as well as in the pocket for it is only 0.39 inches thick. It has a candybar design with the basic Android touch screen buttons at the bottom side. The back of the device has a 5 megapixel auto focus camera with a LED flash which gives comparatively good picture quality both in the day and night time.

The package of the phone contains a 1500mAh battery, a handset, a mini to micro USB cable, user guide and headphones, standard of many smart phones. The build quality of the phone is good with chrome at the edges of the phone. It supports a black plastic battery cover which places the speakers and the camera well. The volume rocker is placed on the left side of the phone with the 3.5 mm audio plug in and micro USB jack at the top of the phone. Samsung Fascinate review infers out that the USB port is bit constrained on the top and would have been more appealing if placed on the sides or the bottom. The overall design on the phone is simple enough with no notable feature added to it. The forte of the Samsung Fascinate is no doubt its 4 inch, 480X800 pixels AMOLED screen which gives hassle free viewing both in the day and night. The 1GHz Hummingbird processor is responsive with 512 Mb of RAM. Besides the regular features of Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi and a 32GB expandable memory card slot this phone boasts of a 16GB built-in micro SD card. This means the user of the phone has quite lot of space to store all the data on his phone. Android 2.1 Eclair offers respectable applications for the phone which allows the users to take full advantage of the phone. The built-in email support and the exchange mail server support in the phone make it ideal for business purpose. The phone has a good battery life which mainly depends on the kind of usage of the phone. If the updates and other background applications are always on, the phone may not stay for more than a day which can go even less on heavy usage. So before you buy the smart phone keep in mind this is not the right answer for the battery problem if you are seriously concerned about it. At the end, just to wind up the Samsung Fascinate review, this is an ordinary smart phone in the market with a not so ordinary display.
