Samsung Vibrant Review

March 24th, 2011 No comments

Well folks, it’s here. The T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant is the initially the four Samsung Galaxy S cellphone heading to US shelves, and the manufacturer’s first Android Super phone. The be noticed feature of the Vibrant is its gorgeous 4-inch Super AMOLED display. Accompanying the display, the Vibrant sports a 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording, a 1GHz Hummingbird processor by using a GPU beats the hell beyond any smartphone GPU today, a 6 axis motion sensor, plus a nifty handle the TV-out method that’s unseen on many smartphones today. How does the Vibrant build up to the competition? Will that screen send others running?

Design
In the the Samsung Galaxy S series models, we’d have to say the Samsung Vibrant is the sleekest and sexiest considered one of the bunch. The look is very familiar, but the mix of the slim profile, clean design, and rounded edges is really pleasing to the eye. Also, at 4.82 inches tall by 2.54 inches wide by 0.39 inch thick and 4.16 ounces, the Vibrant tends to make a nice travel companion, slipping easily in to a jean pocket and feeling lightweight in the hand. Then again, the handset feels plasticky and slick. We wouldn’t say it’s fragile, however it definitely resulted in a lot to be desired, especially compared to the solid and sturdy Google android nexus one.

Display
The Vibrant’s stunning 4-inch Super AMOLED display shows a fantastic sense of depth when displaying HD video content and high quality images. If we snapped a picture on the flower pot in a park, the colors literally popped off the display, and the high definition-video we recorded in Times Square looked incredibly smooth during playback. The iPhone 4′s display might appear small compared to generous screen estate of the Vibrant, but Apple’s device features a higher resolution (960 x640 pixels vs 800 x480). We also pointed out that when placed beside the other, the Vibrant appears to have a faint bluish tint when compared with the iPhone 4; the flower pot image had slightly more accurate colors on the iPhone 4, and internet pages with the same images appeared slightly brighter on the iPhone 4 at the same time.

Keyboard
The Vibrant carries a custom gray keyboard with white letters over a static black background. We immediately disabled the haptic feedback, which did actually slow the phone down. Once not power on, the large display meant it was comfortable to type accurately and quickly. Sick and tired of tapping? The Vibrant also includes a Swype keyboard, in places you draw a path between letters for text entry. Swype has a learning curve, but it really is effective whenever you get the hang of it. You want there was a faster solution to switch between keyboards, since your only options to change it in settings.

Performance
Speakerphone quality was more or less whatever we expected; there seemed to be hook hollowness to the calls, but it surely was still clear enough and loud enough to keep conversations. We paired the Vibrant to the Logitech Mobile Traveller Bluetooth headset and the Motorola S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones with no problem, until then, there isn’t any support for voice dialing over Bluetooth. This feature are going to be added with Android 2.2.

Getting The Most From The Samsung Vibrant With Accessories

August 26th, 2010 No comments

One of the hottest must have phones that has been recently released is the Samsung Vibrant. The Vibrant features several new innovations to keep up with the movement in keeping in touch with your contacts. But of course if you want to keep your Vibrant secure and safe while keeping optimal functionality, then there are additional items that you might want to keep in mind. The top Samsung Vibrant accessories will be examined below in order of importance as rated by consumers who have already provided feedback on these items.

Samsung Vibrant cases are an ideal way to keep the outer shell covered, while still allowing the viewing screen to be easily read. The silicone gel model features a rubberized exterior that has an additional texture layer added, to give you with a most secure grip while also providing protection against unwanted scratches, bumps and gouges. This also prevents the unit from sliding on slick surfaces such as the dash, or plastic console areas. With a custom molded shape, the silicone case will fit easily onto the phone for added cushion. It comes in a choice of black or blue finish.

Another one of the great Samsung Vibrant accessories is the Car mount kit, which includes a suction cup holder, dashpad, and car charger. It is like getting two items in one, since the charge unit is a separate item from most companies. By docking your phone in a stationed position in your car, it will be secure from any scratches and hits, all while keeping it in a convenient and easy to reach position. When combined with the bonus charger unit, the phone can be charged even when in use. In this way, it will always be ready when needed.

Samsung Vibrant screen protectors are also a great investment for keeping that new LCD viewing area clean and easy to read. Since the Vibrant cannot be effectively used when it’s broken, scratched or cracked, it only makes sense to keep this area free of obstacles that would render harm to the phone. A custom device such as Zagg’s Invisible Shield is recommended by many users to provide the perfect amount of protection to safeguard against this kind of abuse. The full body shield cover completely covers the phone, preventing any dirty fingerprints, as well as giving you a sure grip. A lifetime replacement warranty is also included.

No matter what types of accessories are needed, there is sure to be a supplier able to provide the needed item for a fair price. Whether it is Samsung Vibrant screen protectors, or Samsung Vibrant cases, a quick search on the Internet will provide you with the proper information regarding price, availability, and feature information that is so important to protecting the kind of high tech devices that have become an important part of everyday life. And although there are several Samsung Vibrant accessories that can be found at any traditional wireless store, it might be a even better idea to search through the World Wide Web for these.
