The past three months has seen the smartphone market bombarded with a new range of high specification Windows 7 handsets, with the model standing out from the crowd being the new Omnia 7 from Samsung.
Looking around the physical design of the handset, the phone does immediately catch the eye with its sleek lines. Unlike many Samsung handsets, the Omnia 7 is constructed largely from a metallic material rather than plastic. What this helps the phone achieve is a sense of robustness when in use, whilst also helping the model look very high end. One useful feature this phone sports is a physical camera button, much more useful than having to access applications in order to take a snap. Another physical button on the chassis is the "Home" key, giving the Omnia 7 and all together iPhone look about it. Despite its large dimensions, thanks to the screen, the phone does maintain a very respectable 138 grammes in the weight department, making it feel comparatively lightweight against the likes of the HTC HD7.
Like the majority of similar phones available, the 8GB of internal storage capacity does seem a little on the low side, especially without the option of adding a micro SD card, it should however prove ample for the average phone user. This memory ideal for storing all manner of media files that the device is capable of handling. Multiple audio file formats, along with high quality 5 mega pixel still shots and HD footage can all be stored in order to view at a later time.
One area where the Samsung Omnia 7 really is without parallel is its screen. The 4inch display found on this model produce an image quality that surpasses many of its rivals. The wise decision to incorporate Super AMOLED technology results in not only a wafer thin display, but also one with a natural depth of colour, especially on blacks, than the TFT styled counterparts. A key element with many modern smartphones is web connectivity, and the Omnia 7 features a good range of options that include WiFi, 3G, EDGE and GPRS. Regardless of how you are connected, the powerful ghz processor that really is the engine on this model keeps proceedings moving along at a very quick pace. This makes for a very satisfying user experience. The new operating system is also a joy to use, with the colourful arrangement of tiles making a nice change from the widget based homescreens. Whether you are looking for just a great quality smart phone, or a Windows 7 model, the Samsung Omnia 7 ticks all the right boxes with what is one of the most pleasing releases of the past few months.
The Samsung Omnia 7 and the Nokia N8 Orange are available now.
