With its sleek design and attractive display, the Samsung Captivate will surely attract users. It is ultra thin and lightweight. The phone’s lightweight design is due to Samsung’s Super AMOLED technology, which is currently the thinnest display technology available. The Captivate’s 4 inch display is larger than the iPhone’s, yet smaller to the Motorola Droid X’s. Despite its smaller display size, the Samsung Captivate’s screen boasts both rich and vibrant colors that look incredibly natural. In addition to these advantages, the extremely repsonsive super amoled uses less power and has wider viewing angles. The phone also contains a 5 megapixel camera which offers great photo quality without flash. Although the Captivate’s camera is not on the same level as the iPhone 4′s, it is one of the best available on the Android market. While the phone easily synchronizes to a PC, the MAC requires specific programs to help sync the Captivate.
The Captivate runs on Android 2.1 with Samsung’s TouchWiz 3.0 interface, making it one of the fastest Android phones. This speed is essential for running the myriad of social networking features available on this phone. The Captivate’s Social Hub combines your Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace feeds on one screen . Another feature is the Touch Wiz music player which allows users to play high quality music on their phone. Not only can one listen to their favorite song on the Captivate, but one can also view videos! MobiTV plays videos without freezing or pixelating. Love blogging? The Mini Diary application allows users to create blogs entries with photos, texts, and more. Users can then post their work on Facebook or MySpace. Despite the inclusion of all of these wonderful applications, the Captivate will not allow AT&T users to download third party applications. Thus, Captivate users will only be able to download apps from a specific collection. With all this talk about media applications and social networking features, let’s not forget about the most important aspect of the Captivate; it’s call quality. The Samsung Captivate contains a Audience voice-processing chip, a device that blocks out background noise. If you’re making a phone call on a busy street, the sound of honking horns will be completely removed. The speakerphone feature on the phone is also quite effective and loud.
If you are looking for a powerful alternative to an iPhone, the Captivate is your answer. It is a sleek smartphone with a brilliant display. A purchase of a new phone would not be complete without some Samsung Captivate Accessories. Since the phone has a touch screen, it is essential to protect the sensitive display. The AT&T store along with other retailers should be able to provide a wide variety of stylish Samsung Captivate batteries. Finally, chargers and Samsung Captivate screen protectors are available online at affordable prices.
