The New Samsung Captivate
Samsung’s new Captivate smart phone is perhaps one of the best examples of its kind in both hardware and software. Paired up with the AT&T carrier, Samsung’s Captivate includes a fast and reliable processor, a very impressive super AMOLED four inch screen which provide amazing visuals, and numerous modifications to Google’s operating system, Android, to make the smart phone even more capable than models released only months ago. Additionally, a number of Samsung Captivate accessories are available to help protect the smart phone from damage that enable consumers to use it with safety and security while on the go. The processor is one of the most impressive features of the Samsung Captivate; it is a Samsung Hummingbird CPU, which runs at 1 GHz on the Android 2.1 platform. The Android 2.2 platform will be available as a downloadable update from Google in late 2010. Also, the Captivate comes with 16 GB of storage already built in, and offers opportunities for software expansion through micro SD cards. That means, if you were to purchase a 32 GB micro SD card, you would immediately have 48 GB of space to store videos, photos, games, music, and books.
Another notable feature that seems to impress is the Captivate’s four inch display, which uses Super AMOLED technology from Samsung and offers four inches of viewing space at 480 x 800 WVGA resolution. The screen size, while not the largest seen on most smart phones, is impressive, and should be protected. Luckily, it is possible to buy Samsung Captivate screen protectors from almost anywhere, including online or in department and electronic stores all over the United States. The screen uses Super AMOLED technology, which offers you an excellent outdoor viewing experience. Additionally, colors are rendered with exceptional fidelity. And as an aesthetic but significant bonus, when you turn off the screen, it has a relaxing blue hue, which is pleasant to look at. Samsung’s Captivate is an overall attractive phone nonetheless, and has a sleek and smooth feel to it. There are no physical buttons on the front of the phone, as it relies on a capable multi touch display. The device feels like a wedge due to the gentle slants on all of the sides, which gives it a very thin profile. It is worth protecting such an attractive piece of technology, and it is a good idea to purchase one of the many Samsung Captivate cases available on the market today.
Another amazing feature of Samsung’s new Captivate phone is the five megapixel camera lens, which is located on the rear side of the smart phone. With this camera, it is easy to take high quality pictures of whatever you see, and share those pictures with friends and family over the internet with the wireless capabilities of the Captivate. And if you feel like capturing video instead of pictures, you can use the included high definition video camera to shoot in 720p video quality.
