Samsung A900 Reviews

Samsung’s highly anticipated Samsung A900 thin phone marries form and function and helped launch Sprint Nextel’s Power Vision EVDO network in the U.S. in November 2005. Constructed of lightweight, industrial magnesium, the Samsung A900 is the thinnest Sprint Power Vision phone, enabling full-music track downloads over the air, a U.S. industry first. The Samsung A900 also features a 1.3 megapixel camera, camcorder with a flash and zoom, pictBridge-enabled printing capabilities, Bluetooth wireless technology and phone-as-modem functionality.

PCMag have reviewed the Samsung A900, here’s an excerpt about the camera: The 50MB of storage is plenty for a 1.3-megapixel camera phone, however, and the Samsung A900 is recognized as a Mass Storage device, so it appears as a hard drive on your PC when you hook up the USB cable. Taking photos with the swivelling camera was fast and the images were admirably sharp and well saturated, though the background in our simulated-daylight shots tended toward blue (a common problem with camera phones). The Samsung A900’s camcorder mode takes the usual thumbnail-size 176-by-144 videos of unlimited length at 15 frames per second.

PhoneScoop has reviewed the Samsung A900 and find it an attractive phone with a lot of sophisticated characteristics. Although it’s not a powerful handset, it should be adequate enough for most users. Here’s an excerpt about the phone’s camera: “The Samsung A900 may feel solid in the hand, but apparently it is not easy to hold still. Either that or the camera shutter stays open longer than normal. Most pictures we took came out blurry unless we held the phone still with both hands or they were taken in very bright light. And when pictures were taken in bright light, the contrast was too high to get a usable picture. We were disappointed at the small number of usable snapshots we got from this cameraphone.”
