Samsung I5700 Galaxy Spica review: Stars serving Eclairs

Samsung had a slow start in Android but they are making up for it with some impressive high-tech devices. But the All-star team is certainly not leaving anyone behind and the Galaxy Spica just got its update to the latest Android 2.1. Now it's as ready as ever to hit the competition. And it hits hard. Devices like the I9000 Galaxy S and the I8520 Beam certainly have the lead but it's down to the foot soldiers to clean up the mess when super AMOLEDs, Snapdragon and WVGA projectors leave the scene. Speaking of those - you'll know that when it's Samsung and a Galaxy, the middle name is Android. It holds true for the I5700 Galaxy Spica much as it did for the first-born Samsung droid ? the I7500 Galaxy. The Spica goes by the name of Galaxy Lite in some markets, but this has nothing to do with processing power. It packs a faster CPU than the original Galaxy and, as a matter of fact, 800 MHz is better than most droids get. The phone we?re reviewing is no news really, but Android 2.1 certainly is. Given the OS upgrade, the Samsung I5700 Galaxy Spica is obviously planning to stick around and turn the brightest star in this galaxy. Let?s see what it?s got under the belt.

Samsung i5700 Galaxy Portal Review

Samsung's second Android phone, the i5700 Galaxy Portal, is a scaled-down version of its first model, the i7500. It's a similar size and shape, and the OS is more or less the same too, but a few of the specs have been downgraded, making for a competitive price tag. Considering it's a touch-screen phone, the Samsung Galaxy Portal has a lot of buttons. There are buttons for call and end call, home, back, menu and a ‘Google Search' key – six in all, plus the large D-pad. It makes for a congested fascia. The phone itself is slightly smaller and a little thicker than an iPhone, which is a good size. Many Android handsets have manufacturer or network extras alongside the Android OS, but the Samsung Galaxy Portal is Android all the way. Specifically, Android 1.5, which is a little dated but can be upgraded. The icons are somewhat retro looking, and there's no multi-touch, the pinch-to-zoom function that later Google phones have sported. That's not to say that Samsung isn't taking Android seriously. It gives a shortcut to Layar, the gateway to augmented reality (AR) application. AR shows you what the camera is seeing and overlays the image with extra information so you can find the nearest branch of a bank, for example.

Product Survey: Mobiles & Smartphones

Before we get started on testing this smartphone, we should point out that the Spica will soon be upgraded to the next version of Android, but for the time being ships with version 1.5, codenamed Cupcake. Samsung has decided to leave the Galaxy itself as it is though, and we have a hard time with this policy of releasing new models to take over old ones without actually bringing any significant changes. While some of the competition is going for high-end handset like the from Motorola or Sony-Ericsson's Xperia X10, Samsung, LG and Huawei are all banking on entry-level and mid-range models. The specs are less impressive, as the results, naturally enough, but these phones can still be enough for less demeaning users, or those who don't want to shell out on something more expensive. The Galaxy Spica is a classic example. Compared to all the other Google Phones we've seen from all the manufacturers (LG, Motorola, HTC, Sony-Ericsson, Acer and so on), this one manages to escape our usual observation that they're usually solid and masculine. We really don't know why all of the Android handsets we've seen so far have the same chunky look and feel: it's hardly elegant ...
