Samsung Captivate Review by Digitaltrends

Introduction

Guy walks into an AT&T store and says, “I want a touch-screen smartphone, but I’m concerned about the iPhone 4 antenna issues.” Until the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, AT&T sales staffers could only perform stuttering a Ralph Kramden prevarication. But will iPhone purchasers or returners be captivated by the Captivate’s capabilities? It’s a more social-network-centric device than iPhone, with a large 4-inch, crisp “super” AMOLED screen. While it suffers in a basic features comparison with iPhone, that’s also like arguing that U2 sucks because they haven’t sold as many records as The Beatles.

Features and Design

A slimming black slab superphone, Samsung’s Captivate contains nearly all the modern cell Android 2.1 amenities: 7.2 Mbps 3G connectivity, WiFi, a speedy 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 5-megapuxel camera and HD (720p resolution, 30 fps) video recorder, Bluetooth 3.0, six-axis sensor for enhanced gaming, 16GB internal memory, and SWYPE text input. Captivate also includes something Samsung calls “Social Hub,” which aggregate updates from your Facebook, Twitter and MySpace accounts.

The Captivate’s main physical advantage over the iPhone is its screen. It’s a 4-inch super AMOLED display, compared to the iPhone’s 3.5-inch LCD display. The Captivate displays brighter, more accurate colors than the iPhone; For instance, the red band on ESPN’s home page is actually red, as opposed to the nearly maroon rendering on the iPhone. However, the Captivate’s whites tend toward the blue, and the iPhone’s screen is generally brighter, especially out in the sun. With its 960 x 640 pixel Retina resolution, reading text on the iPhone 4 is also easier on the eyes. But you’d only notice the brightness and readability differences in a side-by-side comparison, and neither is a deal breaker.

The curvier Captivate is around a quarter-inch taller and wider than the iPhone, and barely perceptively thicker. None of this makes much real-world difference, especially considering the extra half-inch of screen real estate. Its rear resembles the old Sidekick. Even though it’s slightly bigger, the Captivate’s all-plastic housing makes it a surprisingly noticeable 0.3 ounces lighter than the iPhone 4.

To the left of the earpiece are two small windows: These are light sensors, not a front-facing camera array, which the Captivate surprisingly lacks.

One other annoying drawback is the backlighting on the front touch control, such as menu, home, back, and search. The touch control backlighting goes off while the display is still on, rendering them nearly invisible in artificial light. We often had to touch the area twice, once just to activate the backlight so we could see where the controls were. This became increasingly frustrating the longer we played with the Captivate, and almost became a deal breaker.

There are only two physical controls: the volume rocker on the left side, and the power switch on the right, which doubles as a lock and hold key in certain apps.

The microUSB jack is at the top, next to the headphone jack, which makes it less awkward to use the phone when it’s plugged into a PC for charging and syncing.

Multimedia

AT&T has crammed Captivate with video options, including the oddly not-yet-renamed Cingular Video (it’s called “Mobile Video,” but connects to a Cingular Video URL), the subscription-based MobiTV (you get a free trial period), and the yet-to-be-implemented Samsung Media Hub, from which you’ll be able to rent or buy movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, most the low-res offerings from these services don’t exactly challenge the AMOLED screen.

Like most 3G phones, YouTube videos default play in standard resolution, requiring you to drill through the menu to get the high-quality version that helps show off the AMOLED technology.

Samsung also has included a media app called AllShare, which lets you play a file from your phone on another media player, play a file from a server on the phone, or play a file from a server onto another player, using the phone as a remote – all requiring Wi-Fi and DLNA.

The bulk of the audio emanates from a rear speaker, which produces plenty of volume. But be careful where you put your hand, or you’ll muffle the sound.

War of the Century: Windows Phone 7 vs. iPhone vs. Android

Windows Phone 7 has some innovative and unique features, but are they enough to win over consumers? We pit Microsoft’s new mobile OS against Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android to see how it stacks up.

The iPhone and Google Android devices had a few years to refine their user interface and features, which gave them plenty of time to get ahead of Microsoft's ailing Windows Mobile OS. But in a swift turn of events, Microsoft came up with a totally new user interface for the Windows Phone 7 OS, which will arrive on multiple phones November 8.

But Microsoft had to build Windows Phone 7 from scratch, which means that, if it was not to suffer a significant delay in release, the new mobile operating system had to leave out several features that we now take for granted on our smartphones. At the same time, though, Microsoft brings a few interesting new elements to the table with Windows Phone 7, elements that some of you might prefer over the usability of an iPhone or an Android phone.



We've looked at the main differences between Windows Phone 7, iOS, and Android to give you an idea of the state of mobile operating systems today. The chart (at left; click to zoom) gives you an overview of the features of these OSs--what each one has and doesn't have; after you've looked at it, read on for highlights of the best and worst things about Windows Phone 7.

What's Different About Windows Phone 7

With Windows Phone 7, Microsoft brought a few new concepts to the table. Instead of a noncustomizable home screen (or as Microsoft calls it, the "Start" screen) as on the iPhone, or widgets on Android, Windows Phone 7 uses rectangular "live tiles," a cross-breed of widgets and application icons. The live tiles link to an application, but they also display live information on the Start screen. This gives Windows Phone 7 users an easy way glance at what's happening on their phone, but it could become quite cumbersome when too many tiles are used and a lot of scrolling ends up being involved.

In comparison, the iPhone does not have an active home screen or widgets, while Android employs widgets of all shapes and sizes to display information on the main screen. The simplicity of the Windows Phone 7 tiles wins in this category, while the iPhone is clearly the loser for home screen notifications.

Windows Phone 7 also groups various features of the OS into hubs--a cross between folders and screens. Each Hub (Marketplace, Office, People, Pictures, Xbox Live, and Zune) has tight integration with both native and third-party apps. For example, in the People Hub, you can see your contacts' Facebook status updates and like or comment on them.

Similarly, the Games Hub is closely integrated with Xbox Live, while the Office Hub lets you create, view, and edit Excel and Word documents. You can also access Microsoft Office SharePoint documents and edit them, but you cannot create PowerPoint files in the Office Hub. The Music & Video (Zune) Hub can also get you through your music, videos, and podcasts, or let you access the Zune store--it's all within easy reach. Neither the iPhone nor Android has features comparable to these hubs; instead, you have to pick a specific app to open in order to perform most of the tasks the hubs allow.

What's Missing From Windows Phone 7

Windows Phone 7 has rightly received a lot of flak from reviewers for not having some features that many owners take for granted on their current smartphones.

Microsoft's new mobile OS doesn't have copy/paste capabilities. If you remember, the first, the second, and even the third iPhone did not initially have copy/paste functionality either--but that was over a year ago (copy/paste for the iPhone arrived later as a software update). Android had this capability from day one. So the exclusion of copy/paste in Windows Phone 7 doesn't earn the new OS any gold stars for functionality.

Second on the list of missing Windows Phone 7 features is true multitasking, something that Android also had from day one, and that was later introduced for the iPhone. To be more precise, Windows Phone 7 does not allow third-party apps to run in the background, but pauses them until you return to the app. This puts the OS in the same situation the iPhone was over a year ago, when only Apple's apps could run in the background. But to be fair, iOS doesn't exactly do true multitasking either (read here for a full explanation of multitasking on iOS). Only some apps in iOS can still run in the background and even then, only certain features can continue to work. For example, music from Pandora can play in the background while you're doing other tasks on your phone.

The third debated feature oversight for Windows Phone 7 is the lack of Adobe Flash, Silverlight, or HTML5 support in the browser. Steve Jobs squashed any ideas of running Flash on an iPhone, so Android is the only one left in this round. It took Google and Adobe over a year to come up with Adobe Flash support for Android, but now the latest generation of Android phones has the feature. If Microsoft really wanted to have an edge over the iPhone and fight Android, it should have at least supported its own Flash-competing technology, Silverlight, on Windows Phone 7 devices.

Other feature omissions from Windows Phone 7 include:

• No unified inbox
• No threaded e-mail
• No visual voicemail
• No video calling
• No universal search
• No Internet tethering
• Limited removable storage support
• No Twitter integration
• Alphabetical-only app list organization

Can Windows Phone 7 win over consumers? Or will the iPhone and Android army triumph?
