Samsung Vibrant Video Previewed

By Sindre Lia, Thursday 1 July 2010
 
What's the best thing about a smartphone? Great content. What's the next best thing? Top-notch screen. The Samsung Vibrant covers both.

High-end smartphones should be fun and exciting right off the bat. "We love our customers," says Randy Meyerson, T-Mobile's Senior Product Manager for Android devices. On July 21, you'll get that love in form of the Samsung Vibrant Android smartphone, pre-loaded with content such as a custom T-Mobile version of EA's The Sims 3 as well as an optimized version of James Cameron's Avatar. Randy gives us more details on the Samsung Vibrant in the video below:



Samsung Vibrant Comes Packed with Content Opportunities

Beyond the pre-loaded content mentioned above, the Samsung Vibrant offers the new Amazon Kindle for Android application, providing direct access to more than 600,000 books, including a vast majority of The New York Times Best Sellers and new releases. Before consumers purchase a book, they can read the first chapter for free. With Kindle for Android, customers can also sync their reading with their other Kindle devices.

Furthermore, the Samsung Vibrant gets the MobiTV application for access to live and on-demand TV available in English and Spanish - including more than 35 channels of news, sports and entertainment. When Vibrant customers subscribe to MobiTV, their first 30 days of service will be free. There's also the Slacker Radio mobile application and GoGo Inflight Internet service.

More than 65,000 downloadable applications, games and widgets are also available through Android Market. The new Samsung Media Hub will also be available in the near future, providing a full library of video and literary content powered by some of the biggest names in entertainment.

Samsung Vibrant Specifications

The Samsung Vibrant will offer Android 2.1 (upgradeable to Android 2.2), a 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording, GPS functionality with turn-by-turn navigation as well as Swype technology for fast text input. Avatar will come pre-loaded on an included 2GB microSD memory card, and the Vibrant's microSD slot supports up to 32GB cards.

The Samsung Vibrant sports a 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, promising a vivid, sharp color HD-like viewing experience on the screen's WVGA resolution (800 by 480 pixels). There's also the new Samsung 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor and six-axis sensor optimized for media and gaming, promising users a great experience while reading, watching or playing.

The Samsung Vibrant is also the latest smartphone in T-Mobile's lineup that can benefit from enhanced speeds in locations with T-Mobile's HSPA+ network.
