There is a cloud of touch screen phones all around. But we can’t forget there is still a lot which is fascinated with the QWERTY keypads. To suffice the demands of this lot, mobile phone producers have been continuously experimenting with a dual offering in a single pack; a QWERTY TOUCH SCREEN mobile device. Samsung Captivate Glide is an addition to the great combo of touch screen phones with horizontal slide out QWERTY keypads. It is the most awaited dual core 1 GHz processor device in the android mobile market.
Captivate Glide flaunts the same screen which gave Samsung Galaxy S the lift amongst others. The 4 inch Super Amoled unit along with the WVGA resolution was is and will remain irresistible. The CPU is an NVIDIA Tegra 2 with 1 GB RAM. So speed is no longer any issue.
Let us have a complete view of Samsung Captivate Glide’s specs:
| OS | Android 3.5 |
| Camera | 8 MP Primary Cam with LED Flash, 1.3 MP front CAM for video calls. |
| Network support | 3G , 2G |
| GPS Support | Yes |
| Internal Memory | 8 GB |
| External Memory | Expandable up to 32 GB |
| Connectivity | WiFi, Bluetooth |
| Interface | 3.5 mm audio jack, micro USB port, TV-out |
| Office Support | Exchange Active Sync |
As can be observed Captivate Glide doesn’t look to have any big disadvantages. But all is in the package. So a deliberate effort can lend us a few drawbacks of this beautiful device too. For me, one single thing was a little irritating and that was the absence of a camera button. But this can be ignored when we have so many other features which are incomparable.
So, GG proudly gives Samsung Captivate Glide a **** ½ star review.
Bring it on Samsung; bring more of such wonderful gadgets!
