The 3.7-inch AMOLED QHD Samsung HD player occupies the shell of his mobile as a diamond frame: the whole turns around and adjusts it. With this screen majestic almost 10cm diagonal size of the unit is rather large but well proportioned. The hull of the Samsung HD Player is far from empty with a mobile quad-band (GPRS / EDGE / HSPDA), Bluetooth connectivity, WiFi b / g, DLNA (HD wireless), USB and audio jack / video. It also loads an almost traditional GPS chip. The optical sensor is 8MP, 8GB internal memory (expandable micro-SD).
The battery (1500mAh) does not suffer from the quality of the screen and the mobile has autonomy in satisfactory use (2 days 4 hours average use-of-use combined varied by day), a leading sleep.
In the software perspective, the Samsung HD Player is based on the Sybian S60 v5, with the complete corresponding free software library. Natively, good software is provided: translation Collins, conversions, office (demo) and Adobe, while shipments are fast enough that it stands out. Little recognition software business card that works well on cards formatted!
The GPS navigation software is not satisfactory, we will resort to non-installed software.
The browser is slow and sometimes strangely CSS misinterpreted. The “drawer widgets Touchwizz Samsung leverages the size of the screen to become practical: calling functions is simplified. Input modes (3 to choose from: alphanumeric keypad, QWERTY keyboard or handwriting landscape) also benefit from the big screen. Entering comfortable jeopardizing the desire to condense an SMS or email! Small vibration of a very nice confirmation of actions, some double clicks annoying: it balances out. Among the software features, there are also the geotagging of photos, or uploading videos …
This brings us to the multimedia features of the HD Player. In this area, the HD player alternately expresses its strengths and weaknesses …
A quick caricature leave the beauty on the screen, the inconvenience to the optical sensor. Back side, the sensor 8MP HD Player is capable of recording in 1280 * 720, 24 fps (HD).
Imagine the photo and video capture benefit in one way or another. In reality, the final quality is average. The still photographs are well exposed and very good, others less.
Finding equivalent video: some interferences in low light or blurred, light source management to improve (halos), LED flash-burning the image closely and do not cover the distance: Although better resolution, keep the catch through “normal” smartphone “normal”. Note the smile detector that locates non-framed even smiles, small comfort …
Front side, almost everything that we look on the screen is beautiful. The videos, especially DivX, MP4, are very well managed and very fluid, the same observation applies to the pleasing sound. Note that the native HD formats are not supported, which would serve not much anyway, given the size of the screen. One sub-title, we look or hear, it takes at least a lot of fun, even with the speakers. RDS radio is good and trivia.
Small flat on the loading time of the list of videos and video output wire, random. This small 3.5mm jack is still catching up, offering to replace the earphones supplied with a real helmet even more fun! The WiFi connectivity and DLNA catch up (probably) to share the video output, it is still necessary to use them.
Samsung has appointed its Mobile Player HQ (high quality player), we would have applauded with both hands. By replacing the Q by D, the focus is on a characteristic that is not exploited fully and completely. So nothing to write 720 lines on its HD capabilities. The Samsung HD Player is a good smartphone, including a really good media player revealed by a screen of very high quality.
More : 3.7 “AMOLED very good quality, multimedia playback performance, rather swift management applications.
Less : 8MP sensor disappointing, even and especially in 1280 * 720 video, slow (web, downloading files), somewhat autonomous.
