21 December 2008 No Comment

Overview: To be really honest Samsung’s new i8510 impressed me a lot, even though it was launched earlier in the first week of September, but still it’s new in the market and people love it. This Incredible Samsung i8510 is the first ever 8 megapixel camera which is launched in Europe. And the most impressive thing is that it is built on the symbian OS and 60 series, as Nokia’s N95. And Most of all it has all the features of N95 which includes a Very Good Music Player with FM radio in built, GPS satellite position system, WIFI for internet facilities, and 8 GB of Inbuilt memory with 16 GB expandable ability, which really makes it a power pack Mobile phone.

Features & performances: As we have discussed earlier that Samsung i8510 is based on Symbian operating system and have pretty much similar features as Nokia N95 have in it. I would like to talk about its Camera first, well nobody ever though that Samsung will release their high resolution camera phone in the market so early, And it is giving really tough competition to all its competitors like Sony Ericsson and Nokia which recently launched their 5 mega pixel Camera phones. The i8510 makes camera phones closer to interface that dedicated camera have. Samsun i8510 have a button upfront which activates the camera, open up the lens cover, and shifts between camera, video and the gallery. Quality of Pictures is incredible and video recording as well; it’s a complete package for those who love mobile phone photography.

Multimedia and Music Player: Great benefits of wide and large phone is that they can fit a large LCD display, and Samsung i8510 have definitely made the most of the available space with a high-resolution QVGA display measuring 2.8 inches across, and displaying 16 million colours, makes it really next to perfect smart phone. On the other hand when we talk about its Music Playback capabilities, it is as incredible as its other features are. Its music player can manage and handle all sorts of popular Music file formats [MP3, OGG, ACC, WMA etc.] it has also a FM radio Inbuilt with 3D surround sound. We must say that its music capabilities are as same as all the smart phones have. Its music playback also support DivX playback, so makes it even more compact phone. Although It has 8 GB inbuilt memory which can store over 2000 Mp3 songs, but still you guys can store more of your MP3 songs with 16 GB expandable Memory. The i8510 also has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can plug in your own high-quality headphones.

Connectivity, Internet & GPS system: Samsung i8510 have a GPS satellite positioning system, just like Nokia N95, and it’s pretty handy and useful for those who love Google maps and navigation systems on the go. Beside that features, Samsung i8510 is a great platform for internet access, its inbuilt HTML and wap browser has so many unique features which makes the web page layout looks clean and optimized for its LCD screen. The touch-sensitive scroller works really well when browsing the web. With HSDPA enabled download speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps, you can access web pages pretty fast, and on the other way you guys can now download music and video directly to your mobile phone, no need to download on your pc and then transfer them to you mobile phone. In addition to web access, the phone is able to connect via USB 2.0 or wirelessly via Bluetooth and WiFi. You can use the TV-Out connection to view photos and video directly on your TV. It’s also possible to stream content wirelessly to a compatible PC or laptop using WiFi.

Positives & Drawbacks: There are so many to count when it comes about positives aspects of this incredible phone like GPS system, incredible 8 megapixel camera, excellent web browser and Music Playback, but the only drawback would say is that its battery life isn’t up to the mark, they could have done a bit more on that aspect, cause smart phones are made to live long with their backup battery time. But on a good note I must say it’s an incredible phone for those who love Camera phones.
