samsung omnia hd i8910

The Omnia HD does everything fine, and a few things extremely well.

Video playback is top notch and widely compatible, the camera is among the best
we ever seen on a cellphone, and the video recording can actually hang with a lot of pocket cams, like the Flip or Kodak Zi series. On all other counts the phone never falls flat, but it never really shines, either.

Functionally, though, it holds up fine: The browser could be easier to navigate with,
but renders with WebKit, supports Flash and generally does its job. Same goes for pretty
much everything else: The experience could be smoother, but you'd be hard pressed to find
a task that the HD explicitly can't handle. And if you do find a gap, remember that this is full Symbian,so you can always go app hunting. As dumb as the UI can be, don't be fooled into thinking this is a dumbphone: It can do pretty much anything an Android or Windows Mobile phone can, and sometimes even more—it's just that sometimes, it's painfully awkward.


The Hardware:
Your first impression of the Omnia HD is that it's big, but that's not really fair:
It's a tall device, but it's not meaningfully larger than any of the other popular touchscreen
phones on the market today—it's just proportioned differently (see the gallery below for comparison).inside, it's reasonably thin. Speaking of guts: It's got HSDPA (on European bands),GPS, 8-16GB of internal storage with microSD expansion, and 8MP, 720p-recording camera sensor,a built-in flash bulb, a forward-facing video camera, USB connector and a 3.5mm jack.The lack of HDMI-out is semi-replaced by DLNA network streaming, though it's not really an even trade. At any rate, it's a healthy phone, hardware-wise.

The Software:
This is where things fall apart a little.Wherever the Omnia HD's hardware shines—along with the kickass camera,it can handle HD video playback in plenty of codecs—the software is fine.The camera interface and media playback interfaces, music and video,are never distracting and usually do what you expect. Everything else? That's a different story.

Decent audio output

The Omnia HD demonstarted passable audio output, getting commendable scores on several of the readings in our traditional audio quality test. We have certainly seen better performers but things aren't hopeless with the Samsung i8910 either.The most notable problem with the Omnia HD audio quality is its shaky frequency response and cut-off bass frequencies.The intermodulation distortion is also slightly higher than average.On the positive side the noise level, the dynamic range and the stereo crosstalk readings are excellent.The total harmonic distortion extremely low value is also commendable achievement.

Web browser has Flash video and all the works

The Samsung i8910 Omnia HD web browser is a fully functional application that would have used somewhat more user-friendly interface. The Flash support is cool and so is the kinetic scrolling.To zoom in and out of a page you drag a small slider in the top right corner. The actual zooming is a bit unresponsive and quite slower than we would have liked it to be. To avoid zooming this way at all is by double-tapping a specific part of the web page. Zooming that way is sometimes a hit and miss thing as the web browser fails to fit the text on screen.At least the page rendering algorithm is quite good, making all the pages look as if browsed from a desktop computer. The high resolution is also a welcome bonus here, as it allows more content to fit on the screen. Finally, the web browser has support for both Flash and Java, which means that you can enjoy flash videos straight from your browser without having to use the mobile versions of sites like YouTube or a dedicated client applications.

memory:

And here comes the Omnia HD with its 256 MB DRAM,

providing almost 140 MB free RAM with the system fully loaded and running, which is almost THREE TIMES MORE than the N97.It does not need further comments....

processors:

So, what's so special about it? Let the specifications speak for themselves.

Texas Instruments OMAP3430 (made in 65 nm technology) is a dual-core processor

(which means that it contains an ARM host CPU and one or more DSPs) consisting of

ARM Cortex A8 application processor running at 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX530 GPU

(graphics acceleration processor) and TMS320C64x DSP/ISP (Digital/Image Signal Processor taking care of telephony, data transmission, image processing, etc) running at 430 MHz. Sounds too complicated? Too compare, the N97 is based on a single-core processor running at 434 MHz (i.e. 164 MHz / 27% less) having to do all the work by itself, as it does not contain GPU for graphics acceleration,nor the remaining accelerators. This should give you an idea of how much more powerful the OMAP3430 is.
