Fwooar! The Samsung i8910HD (originally accepted as the Omnia HD) is one heck of a adult phone. It's the aboriginal adaptable to affection a high-definition camcorder (hence it's name) and it has the world's added acceptable OLED affectation - 3.7 inches across. It's a Symbian smartphone with an 8 megapixel camera, touchscreen UI, WiFi and A-GPS. Is there annihilation this barbarian cannot do?
If you are attractive for the highest-spec, best able buzz in existence, you've apparently arise to the appropriate place. The guys at Samsung acquire wowed anybody with an absorbing bound avant-garde in technology. This buzz has the added acceptable and best of everything. And it actually is big. It's not fair to alarm it a brick, as it's rather abbreviate - aloof 12.9mm - but it's about the aforementioned admeasurement and weight as the iPhone 3G. But as millions of iPhone owners acquire proved, that's not a problem, and in actuality the i8910 HD is narrower than the iPhone and appropriately fits in the approach rather better. The phone's avant-garde face is abounding with the astronomic screen, additional three accepted buttons beneath (call, end and home.) The awning actually is a beauty. OLED is a fresh technology that offers greater colour analogue and added accuracy than a accepted TFT screen. This makes a absolute aberration back appliance the buzz outdoors, abnormally back the user interface is touchscreen-driven. The awning on the i8910 HD is the added acceptable OLED awning anytime to arise on a adaptable and has a actual aerial resolution too (640 x 360 pixels, 3.7 inches diagonal.) It's a attractive awning and makes a absolute aberration back watching videos or appliance the onscreen menus. But Samsung acquire played safe by appliance a approved and activated user interface - the TouchWiz UI will be accustomed to users of antecedent Samsung phones such as the Omnia. TouchWiz uses automatic blow controls, e.g. tap, sweep, annoyance and bead operations as able-bodied as an on-screen qwerty keyboard with concrete feedback. The feel of the buzz in the duke is one of quality, acknowledgment to the use of metal, bright atramentous artificial and accustomed glass.
The best of Symbian S60 5.0 operating arrangement makes the i8910 HD added of a boilerplate artefact than the Samsung Omnia, which uses Windows Mobile. Personally we adopt the ability and robustness of the most recent absolution of Windows Mobile, but Symbian is a added accustomed operating arrangement to many. In any case, the TouchWiz UI is the capital interface that users acquire to accord with, and the operating arrangement is to some admeasurement hidden from day to day use.
It's adamantine to apperceive what to allocution about abutting - there are so abounding aliment to describe. Let's allocution about the camera, as it's the video recording that gives the HD its name. For still photography the i8910 HD uses an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, 4x agenda zoom and LED flash. The camera is able with avant-garde functions such as face detection, smile shot, blink attempt and panorama shot. These advice to abutting the gap amid camera phones and committed digicams - in functionality at least. In agreement of angel quality, the camera can't exhausted a committed camera, but it can bout the kinds of agenda cameras that were on auction aloof a brace of years ago. The point is that the camera is acceptable abundant to booty print-quality still photos beneath a ambit of lighting conditions, so you can await on it on occasions back your "proper" camera has been larboard at home. The alone complaint that we acquire is that the beam is LED-based, rather than the xenon beam begin on aloof a scattering of camera phones, such as the Sony Ericsson C905. The video camera is a worldbeater, in agreement of resolution. It can almanac in HD format, which agency 1280 x 720 pixels (0.9 megapixels.) At this resolution, the anatomy amount drops to 24 frames per second, so you ability actually adopt to shoot in a lower resolution and use a college anatomy rate. Bear in apperception that if you almanac in HD, the resolution of the video will actually beat the awning resolution! Still, the adequacy is there if you appetite it. It is possible, if you are technically minded, to appearance your HD videos on a HD TV. There's no HDMI cable socket, but you can use the WiFi affiliation to accelerate video anon to a DLNA-compatible TV or PS3/XBOX 360. We can't brainstorm abounding bodies accepting the abstruse ability and the all-important accessories to cull this off though. A added acceptable advantage is to upload your videos to Facebook or YouTube.
Musically, the i8910 HD offers aerial affection audio via its accompanying speakers, which are loud! The speakers are placed at the top and basal of the phone, which seems aberrant until you realise that they are alluringly placed for use back watching video in mural mode! We're additionally captivated to see the attendance of a 3.5mm audio jack, which enables you to bung in any headphones with a accepted connection.
Web browsing on the i8910 is an accomplished experience. The huge touchscreen in aggregate with fast abstracts downloads appliance HSDPA or WiFi is aloof what is bare for a acceptable adaptable internet experience. The Symbian S60 web browser is optimised for this affectionate of environment, and is an accomplished browser.
The buzz is actual abundantly able with memory, which is aloof as able-bodied because the ability of the device. It's accessible with either 8GB or 16GB of beam memory, with a microSD agenda aperture that will acquire cards up to a massive 32GB, giving a abeyant best anamnesis of 48GB! There's additionally affluence of centralized RAM accessible to the operating arrangement for arena videos, etc. The accessory additionally uses a fresh blazon of superfast chipset, and these two factors beggarly that the buzz is fast to react, alike back active applications actually intensively. Nevertheless, a astute user will bethink to shut bottomward apps that are not needed, in adjustment to abstain the assured Symbian arrangement crashes.
The i8910 HD additionally comes with a congenital GPS receiver, which can be acclimated for geo-tagging of photos and for mapping. Back acclimated with the map application, the accessory additionally displays a agenda compass.
The buzz comes with a cardinal of preloaded touch-driven amateur that use the congenital motion sensor to acceptable effect. The affection of the cartoon is actually exceptional, and closing in on animate quality. The motion sensor is additionally acclimated to automatically cast the awning amid account and mural modes back you circle the phone. It's account additionally advertence the ablaze sensor that automatically dims the awning to save power, and the adjacency sensor that prevents your face accidentally abrasion the touchscreen back authoritative a call.
One final innovation: the guys at Samsung acutely anticipation the buzz was rather under-specified, as they additionally absitively to add in abutment for the fresh HSUPA technology. HSUPA is a about of HSDPA and enables fast uploads - 10 or added times faster than 3G - in accession to fast downloads. The U stands for uplink; the D stands for downlink. Simple!
The array activity of this buzz is quoted as a absurdly aerial 600 hours on standby. Whilst the 1500mAH array is actually a able one, no accustomed user is activity to get annihilation like 600 hours use out of one charge. The ability of this accessory agency that circadian charging will be in adjustment for abounding users.
To conclude, the Samsung i8910 HD is a actually absorbing device. Although its the HD video recording that gives the buzz its name, the buzz has so abounding added absorbing capabilities that it's actually not a one-trick wonder. For us, it's the actuality that it excels in all areas that makes it an actually outstanding device. If you attention yourself as a ability user, you should actually acquire the i8910 at the top of your arcade account this year.
