Samsung Captivate Glide Review

The Samsung Captivate Glide is for Android smartphone shoppers who hate typos. With its spacious slide-out keyboard, this $149 device is designed to make text entry a breeze. The Glide doesn't have 4G LTE speeds, but it packs solid specs for the price: a 1-GHz dual-core processor, 4-inch display Super AMOLED display, and an 8-megapixel camera. Plus, AT&T and Samsung bundled a bevy of multimedia apps. Read on to find out if this slider is just your type.Click to EnlargeThe front of the Captivate Glide looks like a smaller version of the Samsung Galaxy S II. A 4-inch display wrapped in black plastic sits between silver AT&T and Samsung logos. The usual four capacitive buttons (Menu, Home, Back, and Search) line the bottom, while a 1.3-MP camera sits in the top-right corner.Sliding the touch-screen display up reveals an attractive full QWERTY keyboard surrounded by a black aluminum band. Embedded in a brushed-aluminum deck, the gray matte keys and the turquoise secondary key functions provide a nice contrast. The rear of the Captivate Glide is covered in black plastic that has a raised, scale-like pattern that ensures a firm grip. A gray brushed-aluminum cutout holds the 8-MP camera, LED flash, and a set of thin speaker slits.

Samsung Captivate Glide review: Thumbs ready

The Samsung Captivate Glide for AT&T Wireless is long overdue. The market is brimming of dual-core Android devices and the slide-out QWERTY packing Samsung Captivate Glide has only just arrived. Interestingly enough, it's been a relatively quiet year for the fans of the hardware QWERTY droids. The offerings are few, while the potential users are plenty good news for Samsung's entry. In terms of specs, the Samsung Captivate Glide is rather closely related to the Galaxy R the two major differences between the two phones can be found in the screen department and, of course, the presence of hardware QWERTY in the case of the Captivate Glide. The smartphone sports an NVIDIA Tegra 2 CPU with two 1GHz cores and a gig of RAM. The display has been taken straight from last year's Galaxy S not a bad a thing since the 4 Super AMOLED unit with WVGA resolution is still is one of the finest screens on the market. Traditionally, we'll begin by taking a look at the key features of the Samsung Captivate Glide, followed immediately by its main disadvantages. As you can see, there is plenty the Samsung Captivate Glide has to offer. Its hardware QWERTY is one of the most comfortable examples we've encountered.

Samsung Captivate Glide review

Reviewing the Samsung Captivate Glide right after the Samsung DoubleTime is a study in contrasts. The DoubleTime is outdated, slow, and ugly, while the Glide is modern, fast, and sleek. The natural successor to the Epic 4G, the Glide is a hybrid of the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II — it has a nice 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, an acceptably recent version of Android, and though there’s no LTE it still connects to AT&T’s HSPA+ network. It also has a 1GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and — most importantly of all — a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. If all the Glide had to do was be better than the DoubleTime, this would be a very short review, but the $149 (with contract) Glide is also competing with the rest of AT&T’s smartphone lineup, which is formidable opposition. How does it stack up? Read on for the full review. My last phone before my current Droid X2 was a Galaxy S-based Samsung Fascinate, and side by side with the Glide it's hard to tell the two phones apart, other than the carrier logos. The Glide is noticeably smaller than the Galaxy S II devices, mostly because it only has a 4-inch screen rather than the 4.2- to 4.5-inch displays on the others. It's a full 13.7mm deep, though, and since the screen's not huge it feels even thicker.

Samsung Captivate Glide Review

Before rushing to judgment, don’t let its model name fool you for one bit, well, that’s because the Samsung Captivate Glide isn’t merely a rehashed device with a physical keyboard. Rather, it’s a transitive smartphone that’s tastefully modernized, thanks to its hardware, to meet the demands of power and elite users all around. In fact, it boasts a snazzy looking Super AMOLED display, dual-core processor, HSPA+ connectivity, and an always useful landscape style keyboard – all packaged together for a reasonable $149.99 with a 2-year contract.For starters, it doesn’t look exactly like a Samsung Captivate with a physical keyboard attached to it, nor does it bear any striking resemblance to Samsung’s line of Galaxy S II smartphones, but instead, the Captivate Glide is a totally different looking handset on its own. Constructed out of plastic, it’s nice to see that it’s rather compact in form (0.5” thick) and lightweight (5.2 oz) in the hand, but it tends to give it an overall flimsy build quality – though, it’s not that bad at all.Size Visualization ToolJust like the Captivate before it, the handset features a that delivers a lot of eye-candy right from the start thanks to its high-contrast, overly saturated color production, wide-viewing angles, and average details.

Samsung Captivate Glide

AT&T has plenty of smartphones, but it doesn't have plenty of keyboarded smartphones. Sure, there's the Sharp FX Plus (Free, 3.5 stars) and the RIM BlackBerry Torch 9810 ($49.99, 3 stars), but neither of those devices are particularly cutting edge. Enter the Samsung Captivate Glide ($149.99 with contract). It's a lot like the popular Samsung Galaxy S II (4.5 stars, $199.99), with the addition of a full, slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a slight bump down in specs. It's our Editors' Choice for keyboarded smartphones on AT&T. Physical Features, Phone Calls, and InternetThe Captivate Glide measures 4.9 by 2.5 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.2 ounces. Made out of lightly textured black plastic, the Glide looks unassuming, but feels well built and comfortable in your hand. The 4-inch, 800-by-480-pixel Super AMOLED display is gorgeous. It has fewer subpixels than the Super AMOLED Plus display on the Galaxy S II, but it still looks excellent. The screen can get very bright, but darker colors maintain a luxurious depth and richness. Four haptic feedback-enabled functions keys sit beneath the display, which are suitably responsive.

Samsung Captivate Glide

AT&T's portfolio of 4G QWERTY smartphones was looking fairly thin before it added the Samsung Captivate Glide. Sure, the phone runs on the carrier's HSPA+ 21 network rather than the 4G LTE network that AT&T is rolling out, but speeds will eclipse 3G, and it has the specs to impress. The Captivate Glide runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, features a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and 720p HD video. It also has a reasonable $149.99 price tag. However, in order to keep the cost from climbing, Samsung did have to compromise on the phone's build quality. Consequently, its looks--while utilitarian--are hardly premium, a shame considering that the phone has quite a bit to appeal to shoppers seeking a top-tier smartphone. The Captivate Glide is an all-black phone with rounded corners and straight sides, top, and bottom. A muted gray plastic band encircles the periphery and there's a metal accent surrounding the camera lens on the back of the phone. Stop me if you've heard this one before. Yes, Samsung has a habit of taking a successful design and running with it, over and over and over again.

Samsung Captivate Glide review

When it comes to releasing new devices, Samsung and the rest of the manufacturer bunch doesn't always aim for the top of the ladder - case in point, the Samsung Captivate Glide, a dual-core smartphone with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display and a slide-out keyboard. This device is being released on AT&T's 4G network (not LTE, mind you, just regular ol' 4G) and is currently one of the only dual-core smartphones with a keyboard on the market. If we turn away from the keyboard for a moment and focus on the rest of the device, I think you'll find that while this handset certainly doesn't seem to be up to the task of beating down the very top of the pack of smartphones out today, it's certainly a wrestler for the dual-core lovers of you out there in AT&T Land. This device features a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, meaning it'll be very very bright and has 480 x 800 pixel resolution. This crushes the mid-range competition for brightness and in most cases for resolution as well, but doesn't quite match the Galaxy S II for either energy efficiency or, again, brightness. Thus is the difference between Super AMOLED and Super AMOLED Plus - though you won't likely notice it unless you've got both phones in your hands at once.
