The Omnia W is Samsung's follow-up to the sizeable Omnia 7, its first phone to run Microsoft's new OS which was released last year. That also makes it the company's first handset to run Mango, the latest Windows Phone release. The Omnia W has a 3.7'' display, 8 GB of internal memory (though there's no room for more) and a 1.4 GHz processor which should keep it ticking along nicely. It also has a 5 Megapixel camera which can 'only' film at 720p. As a mid-market Windows Phone, how does it do? Let's take a closer look. The Omnia W has borrowed heavily from its older, bigger brother's style, so the overall effect is relatively unsurprising and didn't wow us. It has the same brushed aluminium at the back and a totally standard glossy black plastic exterior at the front, and seems rather understated. The build quality is acceptable, and we enjoy the lightweight 115 g frame and the unusual shape which is easy to grip. Like other manufacturers, Samsung has to stick to a spec set by Microsoft, meaning there's no memory card slot—and just 8 GB of internal memory!—and just one camera at the back.

Samsung I8350 Omnia W review

When Windows Phone launched a year ago, we were excited to first see it on the Super AMOLED screen of the Samsung Omnia 7. Twelve months or so later, Samsung are sort of in power-saving mode in the joint venture with Microsoft. Their Omnia W isn't drawing all attention to itself by blowing the numbers out of proportion. The Omnia W has shed weight and lost some of its predecessor's screen estate. What you get in return is an upgraded processor and double the data speeds. The display technology, camera sensor and the general feel haven't changed much. Well, yes, some would call it a half-hearted effort. Or maybe, Samsung are simply waiting for the dust to settle from Nokia's grand entry into Windows Phone. Obviously, they didn't want ? or need ? a European flagship along the lines of their US-based Focus S with AT&T. With a single Windows-phone handset on the Old Continent, it may've made sense to focus on the midrange instead of making another flagship without a fleet. Bottom line, as long as we remember that it's not an upgrade of the original Omnia 7, the Omnia W is an easy phone to live with, for all its strengths and shortcomings.

Samsung Omnia W Review

The Samsung Omnia W is a mid-range Windows Phone handset, and as such, it offers some decent hardware, namely a 1.4GHz single-core processor, 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display, 14.4Mbps HSPA connectivity and 8 gigabytes of storage.And if the little fella seems familiar to the folks in U.S., that is because it is pretty much identical to the Samsung Focus Flash, which recently joined AT&T's lineup. But will it leave us with an impression as good as its U.S. counterpart did once we were done playing with it? Let's take it for a spin and find out.The Samsung Omnia W is a compact little handset save for the 10.9-millimeter (0.43-inch) profile, which is still decent. It is also very light at 115 grams (4.07 ounces), despite the metal element on the back cover, and pretty comfortable to hold and operate with one hand thanks to the tapered edges and the reasonably-sized screen.Size Visualization ToolThe 3.7-inch Super AMOLED (not Plus) is a good differentiator among the other new Windows Phone handsets that are already on the market. Its nice, saturated colors are quite appealing and its outdoor visibility is more than satisfactory.

Samsung Omnia W Review

I must admit – the rise of Windows Phone as a solid smartphone OS has been a surprise, and a huge relief as well. Frankly, the iOS vs. Android battle was beginning to become a bit boring. Thankfully, Microsoft silently got its house in order and got down to tweaking WP into a competent smartphone OS. And the results are quite impressive. The Omnia W looks like a compact smartphone, with the 3.7-inch display ensuring it isn't very big to hold, a problem that some 4-inch smartphones face. The front has the display, and the hardware button for Home, with the Windows logo on it. There are two touch sensitive keys – return and Bing search. The power key is on the right side panel, and not on the top where it is usually on most phones. The volume rocker is on the left side. Flip the Omnia W over and we felt a bit disappointed to find that annoying prise out using nails method, something we felt was reserved for the less expensive and lesser thought out phones. Overall, the Omnia W does feel very sleek and light, and fits well in the hand. Comfortable for one-handed use, with even weight distribution ensuring it doesn't rock about unnecessarily. The big one has to be the updated avatar of the Windows Phone OS – the Mango update.

Samsung Omnia W Preview

Samsung Omnia W is part of the second batch of Windows Phones that are about to hit the market in time for the holidays, and judging by the “W” in the title, it is supposed to fit in the midrange spectrum of Samsung's WP portfolio. The handset might actually be the Europe/Asia version of the Samsung Focus Flash for AT&T, as it sports the same 3.7” Super AMOLED display, 1.4GHz processor, 8GB of storage and 5MP camera with LED flash.These specs, however, place it in the upper mid-range category, plus the handset runs the latest version of Windows Phone and sports a brushed metallic back cover. Are these features enticing enough to jump on the Mango gravy train? Read our preview to find out...The Samsung Omnia W is a compact little handset save for the 0.43” (10.9 mm) profile, which is still decent. It is also very light at 4.07 oz (115 g), despite the metal element in the back cover, and pretty comfortable to hold and operate with one hand thanks to the tapered edges and the reasonably-sized screen.The (not Plus) is a good differentiator among the other new Windows Phone handsets that are about to flood the market soon. Its nice, saturated colors are quite appealing. The 480x800 pixels resolution should result in 252ppi pixel density, which is quite good, but due to the Pentile matrix, it is way less.
