Samsung I5800 Preview

[Shripad]

Phew, it looks like it wont have call and disconnect buttons like SPica did.

Its basically Dpad + Home + Search + back + menu config.

Multitouch is the only real positive thing about it ( that too to some extent only. I doubt browsing on such small screen will be any fun, so there goes pinch zoom advantage ).

I still dont know what was Samsung thinking making this phone to replace 5700.

Light sensor, proximity sensor (visible in pics ) are welcomed additions, but reducing screen size and resolution was big mistake IMHO.

I would take 5700 over this personally. I really liked the chunky buttons on that one

I read on samsung firmware that CPU on this one is 667MHz, memory is 170MB.

There are some improvement on Spica:thumb:, Multitouch, FM, 2.1( And with it better chances of 2.2 & probably Gingerbread!hyeah GSM says Interface, Browser are also better and there is SWYPE keyboard. Proximity and Light sensors.

Some disappointments also, smaller screen, CPU, Memory. Looks but thats individual.

Lets wait for Full specs and final review.

170MB is internal memory..lower than spica.

we need to know ram.

i hope samsung addresses slowdown on spica by trimming android and slapping TouchWiz 3.0 on it too in their next awaited update for it.

Actually as soon as you disable samsung pantheon and put Launcher Pro, Spica becomes much smoother to operate. Its not android, but its the phone itself and samsung's pantheon that was the reason for slight slowdowns.

Remember that CPU inside may be 800Mhz chip, but its old ARM 11 chip. I hope they havent used the same with i5800 as its already running at lower freq, and if its still ARM 11, then it will be even slower.

the::unwired - APPROVAL: GCF approves the Samsung GT-I5800 & GT-I5801 Android Smartphones [UPDATE]

this site confirms that samsung approved it being ARM 11 on i5800 and i5801

it also mention i580x being 240x480 but that might be wrong.

Samsung Adds to Galaxy, Omnia and Wave Smartphone Lineups - Mobile and Wireless from eWeek

the I5800 is also called as the galaxy 3 and it has a 3.2" screen while another model called galaxy 5 is 2.8"

 

[Neo-N]

I think that the i5800 is the Feminine version of the i5700.......!!!

I mean, look at all those curves...... It is definitely not muscular.... rather, it is curvaceous & very feminine.....

 

[adityamunshi]

Is it true that some apps wont install on the i5800 because of the 240 x 400 resolution ?

 

[Nemesis_41]

Bring the Spica back please, This screams corby all over again.
But again, the specs arent that clear, i guess we should wait for a post launch review?

 

[cooldude_007]

Yes, Some high res apps might fail to run.
