Samsung R910 Galaxy Indulge

SAMSUNG R910 GALAXY INDULGE REVIEW

Samsung Galaxy Indulge is one of very first 4G network technology smartphone. The casing is of plastic and it fits in pretty nicely in your hands. This smartphone supports Android operating system and is also one of the first to use 4G on Android operating system. The display of Samsung Galaxy Indulge is 3.5 inch, which is slightly larger than most of the smartphones out there, however the screen resolution is limited to only 320 x 480 pixels. The four physical buttons have no backlight to help them glowing therefore it is very difficult to see them in the dark. It has a sliding QWERTY keyboard, which slides horizontally out from the bottom of the screen. As far as the user interface goes, the Indulge supports Android 2.2.1 Froyo and has been updated to Samsung’s Touch Wiz interface. The phone supports 7 home screens with widget selection and the buttons of the screen are shortcuts. The interchanging between the screens is very smooth operation while loading of the applications take a little while. The smartphone is well equipped with social networking services integration and all your contacts are presented in a detailed yet compact manner. In addition to SMS and MMS you can send Emails and you can also add POP3 and IMAP mail accounts. The phone is also backed up with instant messaging. You can use the Think Free Office application which enables you to view not only PDF files but also the file in Excel, Word and PowerPoint formats. The Indulge has 3.2 megapixel camera but with a relatively slow autofocus. The absence of color accuracy and flash light makes it unable to take quality pictures but in video recording the output is up to 720 x 480 pixels of resolution at 30 frames per second is very good when played on PC. The device can playback MP4, H.264, XviD and DivX but the colors will be dim. The music player can play the songs with an average playback quality. You can use the ear-piece of your choice with 3.5mm jack or a Bluetooth headset. Samsung Galaxy Indulge can use 3G or 4G network technologies but because of the lower resolutions mostly the web pages look pixelated and unreadable. The call performance of this smartphone is very good with no problem of background noise even if the volume is turned up. The phone supports 1500 mAh battery which gives a talk time of 5 hours and a stand by time of 12 days. So, overall Samsung Galaxy Indulge is a good smartphone but it has its limitations. It offers good user interface, call quality and battery performance which add to its pros. But the slow web browsing, downloading and low quality display will add to its cons.
