Android smartphone from Samsung which currently occupies the position of the flagship Galaxy S II with dual-core processor 1.2 GHz her. Well, for the position is still there underneath Samsung Galaxy SL, but apparently Samsung is targeting this segment with the Galaxy W, where W is the Samsung is the 'Wonder.' Gingerbread Android 2.3 smartphone comes with a fairly sophisticated features such as 1.4 GHz processor, capacitive screen with 3.7 inch wide WVGA resolution of 800x480 pixels, 5MP camera with LED flash and video recording in 720p.


Design and Body


Samsung Galaxy W design is similar to the Galaxy Gio, especially from the front. Materials available on this phone consists of a variety of materials. As usual the front is a glossy black panel for a capacitive screen measuring 3.7 inches. '' Hood'' on the phone is made from glossy black metallic gray with a micro USB port and 3.5mm audio jack. Surrounding the list of this phone is a plain rubber material, with volume buttons on the left and power on the right. Meanwhile, back cover of the battery casing is serrated rubber material, such as the Samsung Galaxy S II, Galaxy Gio, Y and Galaxy Galaxy Ace. This seems to have become the hallmark of Samsung. Impression is brought about, even though the specifications of this phone is quite high, but viewed from outside the phone feels like the middle class only, even though the screen is large enough there is almost no middle class in the mobile phone outputs a large vendor. Then the form is not too big, not too small, fitting comfortably in your hand but still comfortable to enjoy the 3.7 inch screen of this phone is.






Screen


Samsung Galaxy W put on screen type TFT LCD measuring 3.7 inches, WVGA resolution resulting in pixel per inch density of 252.15 ppi. Sharply than the Galaxy S II is the same resolution but a larger dimension that is 4.3 inches. But for the beauty of color and contrast levels that generated certainly not comparable to the Super AMOLED especially S.AMOLED +. Make no mistake, we think the colors are reproduced Galaxy W as very good and unsightly eye, cool. The contrast level is quite high, as well as the angle of vision, as very good when compared to other LCD sailing phones, even cell phones can still be compared to sailing Super LCD. For outdoor display Galaxy W rather difficult to see, despite being put on the highest brightness level. Here the comparison with the Samsung Galaxy S Super AMOLED (right):



Interface


As the Galaxy S II, the phone uses TouchWiz 4.0 UI. The interface is equipped with more customization, such as adding wallpaper or widget. Besides those two things you can add shortcuts and folders. Home Screen can use up to 7 screen, depending on your taste. Quite a lot of widgets available. Notification of the rolled bar at the top has several buttons to support WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and auto rotation profile.




Wallpaper that you display on the home screen is also displayed in the main menu background. The composition of the application may be adjusted at will, to hold and perform drag and drop icons for each application. Again, the main menu edit screen is better than TouchWiz 3.0. If you get bored with the look of the application icons are arranged horizontally with a 4x4 field of application, you can select the List View as an alternative. Most recently the Share app, but not a shared file. Apk of apps, but only a recommendation for you and your friends the link on Market app. This recommendation can be sent via Bluetooth, email, GMail and SMS.



For the Display settings on this phone, such as: Font style, Home Screen, Lock Scren. In addition there is a level of screen brightness, auto rotate, animation, time out, and another horizontal calibration, touch key light duration, how long a key touch (touch buttons below the screen) is on. To do a screenshot please press Home + Power.



Input Text


Text input methods provided by default there are two, namely: Samsung Keypad and Swype. Samsung Keypad for portrait mode there are several types of keypads that can be selected include QWERTY, 3x4 (ABC), handwriting box 1 and 2. For QWERTY keyboard itself, though the screen Galaxy W only 3.7 inch wide, horizontal diagonal screen but about the same as the iPhone 4, for an average size of the finger will not have trouble typing, but it's a capacitive screen which is used also responsive. Moreover, the phone is quite comfortable grip and are not slippery because of the material side and rear are made of rubber.





Phonebook


As more Android phones may contact you with a Google account merge, synchronize with Facebook, Twitter (if the application is installed) or through the Social Hub and your Google Mail account. From your contacts can see the profile picture, update status of the relevant, email address, and other information that he shared in the account Facebook / Twitter. In fact you can see the media (photos and video) that he uploaded via Facebook.

Messaging


SMS is displayed in a threaded fashion. To change your SMS to MMS media mengatachment enough to be sent. Arrangements vary, among other font size, background color, text message limit, delivery report, SMS settings, and ringtone and notifications.




Email from Google Mail to version 2.3.4.1 to complete this Android phone. Of course, Google Mail application on Google Android phones do not need to doubt their reliability. Push email running smoothly without any problems, its use is quite simple and similar to the look on the PC. Besides GMail app supports multiple accounts at once. Not only is Gmail, the email application is quite reliable, Yahoo accounts can be supported, not as usually requiring more detailed settings. Only give as much pleasure does not necessarily use Google Mail, though you can download Yahoo Mail application itself.



Instant messenger that there is always inherent in the Galaxy S and all Android handset is GTalk. Notifications can be set, can be raised or not raised when the incoming message will adorn the screen on the notification bar. Vibration and ringtone notifications can also be arranged. It's just unfortunately Samsung Galaxy W is equipped with LED light notification like some other Android handsets as well as on the Blackberry handset.



Camera


The user interface is somewhat different cameras with Samsung Galaxy S. As usual Samsung buried a lot of features in its Android smartphone camera, with a maximum resolution of 5MP (2560x1920 pixels), LED flash, autofocus and arrangements such as: flash, shooting mode, scene modes, exposure value, timer, effects, resolution, white balance, ISO, metering, auto contras and GPS tags. Also you can define shortcuts which will be incorporated into the initial interface of the camera. There are four shortcut access to features you use often. To make your focusing only need to touch on the screen (touch focus), but unfortunately this phone does not have a physical shutter button the camera. You can use the front camera to take pictures, with VGA resolution.



The photo is pretty good, for the room if a little pale but still captured images with a clear and detailed enough. Flash is helpful to add a little color to the images in the room. For the outdoors was good enough, the colors look fine, so did the level of detailed pictures, perhaps because the file is generated relatively large, for the room it can be 1 MB more, for the outdoors with very bright lighting conditions can be 1.6





Video Recorder


Just like the interface on the camera, the video recorder you can also add shortcuts to the four icons that are available. These features are certainly not as complete video recording camera, such as: flash, recording mode, exposure value, timer, effects, white balance and resolution. Unfortunately there is no touch focus in video recorder, so the results of such records of fixed focus cameras in general.



The results of 720p video recording is pretty good and detailed, not broken. Tends to stable framerate without frameskip. Produced good color, while the level of image sharpness is quite good. Bitrate of the resulting tergorong 12 300 kbps, which makes video recordings Galaxy W storage big enough to eat; video lasts 31 seconds that we record yield of 45.8 MB file.





Photo Gallery


Gallery-style photo gallery using Android with 3-dimensional touch when tilting the phone. Gallery displays each folder that has images and video files supported by Galaxy W. Images can be viewed as thumbnails or as of the date. Android-style gallery weakness also exists here that is not displaying the title of the file. In the photo this may not mean anything anyway because thumbnailnya still appear, but the folder contains other video stories. Images can be shared, used as wallpaper. Besides the setting is complete include: copy, print, edit, crop, rotate left / right, slideshow, rename and details.



Video Player


To test the default video player Samsung Galaxy W, we included three types of video, video. Mp4 720p resolution downloaded from Youtube, video. Mkv 720p bluray-rip results, and video xvid. Avi with quality dvd-rip with subtitle. Srt. Mp4 videos from Youtube 720p would go smoothly, as well as video xvid, smooth and served with the subtitle was able to smoothly and properly synchronized. To play. 720p mkv file it can be played, but his voice disappeared. The video was not very smooth, no lag every few seconds. Strange indeed since the smartphone that Samsung's previous generation of Samsung Galaxy S (Super AMOLED version) file is read smoothly, no problems. Probably due to the type of processor and GPU are different (Galaxy W using Snapdragon and Adreno 205 GPU, while the Galaxy S uses Hummingbird and Power VR SGX530)

For any equalizer settings (normal, pop, rock, jazz etc.) and sound effects as well as mobile-phone Samsung (wide, concert hall, music clarity, etc.). In addition there are 5.1 effect can be activated but the equalizer and sound effects must be switched off (in normal conditions).
