Many smartphone companies are getting on the android train and Samsung is one of them. This phone is called the “Moment” and has super fast response. Read here to take a closer look at what Samsung has created with the help of google.

The first thing about this model is the blazing speed. The “Moment” comes with an 800 megahertz processor. That is faster than most any that use this operating system from google. This makes this phone a race horse when it comes to start up time. You will wait just forty one seconds for this phone to be fully booted up. Other phones that are on the level of the Moment use more than a minute. You will be able to switch between windows at lightning speed and open and close applications with the same velocity. This quality is one of the highest selling points of the phone. You will not have to wait for it, it will be waiting on you.

The hardware on the Samsung Moment is pretty much generic, with a micro USB port and the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. The keyboard is a bit on the strange side. It has some buttons in strange places. You may have to get use to the positioning of the arrow keys. They are super close the regular keys. If this layout will not bother you, forget about it, but it is different from many keyboard layouts. For the positive word on the keyboard; the buttons are spaced far enough apart to use comfortably and they have good tactile feedback. The Moment comes with its own number row at the top, just like a regular notebook.

The camera is alos a generic 3.2 megapixels and makes generic photos. That means they are not spectacular, but are “good enough”. A negative point for the camera is that it has no automatic flash. You either have it turned on or you have it turned off. The phone will not be deciding when to use the flash, you will. That is quite a departure from regular smartphones.

The display screen for the Moment is an AMOLED style. An AMOLED screen is one that will allow you to view the screen at more angles. You will also be able to see it better in sunlight. You will also have a longer battery life over a LCD screen, which is what most of the older smartphones and cellphones have used. If you wondered what AMOLED stands for, it is; “Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode”.

Getting to the Android operating system of this small powerhouse, we see that Samsung left it in basic mode. The phone is shipped with version 1.5 of Android. It is not as impressive looking, but at the same time it will not be taking up as much precious processor speed either. The plain looks of the screen are okay if you do not care about fancy graphics. Remember; fancy graphics slow down the phone. Cupcake is the version of google Android this phone is running. It can be updated automatically so look forward to this event happening soon. One drawback to the simplicity is the lack of a battery charge meter. You do not know how much you have charged the phone when it is plugged in and charging.

The Samsung Moment is using Sprint at the moment. That may prevent this phone from being sold as much as it could simply because they ( Sprint ) do not have as many users as the other carriers. Is it worth it to switch ? Well, that is what this article is hopefully going to help you decide. The phone is a contender for the prize of highest quality in the design category, but a few user features that some are already accustomed to are also missing. If you like speed and quality, then this would be your phone. If you can not handle a few quirks, you may want to look at other smartphones. Overall, this phone hits the mark and stays in the “super smartphone” category.
