Android smartphone from Samsung which currently occupies the position of the flagship is the Galaxy S II with dual-core processor 1.2 GHz her. Well, for the position is still there underneath the Samsung Galaxy SL, but apparently Samsung is targeting this segment with the Galaxy W, where W is the Samsung is 'Wonder.' Gingerbread Android 2.3 smartphone is equipped with enough features classy as 1.4 GHz processor, capacitive screen with a width of 3.7 inch WVGA resolution of 800x480 pixels, 5MP camera with LED flash and video recorder 720P.

Design and Body
Samsung's design is similar to the W Galaxy Galaxy Gio, especially from the front. Materials that exist on this phone consists of a variety of materials. As usual the front is glossy black panels for capacitive screen measuring 3.7 inches. ''Hood''of this phone made from glossy black metallic gray with a micro USB port and 3.5mm audio jack. List that surrounds this phone is a plain rubber material, with volume buttons on the left and power on the right. Meanwhile, back cover of the battery casing is serrated rubber material, as well as on the Samsung Galaxy S II, Galaxy Gio, Galaxy and Galaxy Ace Y. This seems to have become the hallmark of Samsung. Posed about the impression, though the specifications of this phone is quite high, but viewed from the outside this phone feels like the middle class only, even though the screen is large enough there is almost no middle class in mobile phone output large vendors. Then the form is not too big, not too small, fitting comfortably in your hand but still comfortable to enjoy the 3.7 inch screen that has this phone.

Screen
Samsung Galaxy W put on screen type TFT LCD measuring 3.7 inches, WVGA resolution resulting in pixel per inch density of 252.15 ppi. Simply sharper than the resolution of the Galaxy S II similar but larger dimensions ie 4.3 inches. But for the beauty of color and contrast levels generated would not let alone comparable to Super AMOLED AMOLED + S.. Make no mistake, we think the W Galaxy colors are reproduced as very good and unsightly eye, cool. Sufficiently high contrast levels, as well as the angle of vision, as very good if compared to other LCD sailed phones, even cell phones can still be compared to sailing Super LCD. For outdoor display Galaxy W rather difficult to see, despite being put on the highest brightness level. Here the comparison with the Samsung Galaxy S Super AMOLED (right):

Interface
As the Galaxy S II, the phone uses TouchWiz 4.0 UI. The interface is equipped with more customization, such as when adding wallpaper or widget. Besides those two things you can add shortcuts and folders. Home Screen can wear up to 7 screen, depending on your taste. Widgets are available pretty much. Notification of the rolled bar at the top has several buttons support for WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, profiles and auto rotation.

Wallpaper that you display on the home screen is also displayed in the main menu background. The composition of the application can be adjusted at will, to hold and do drag and drop icons on each application. Again the main menu edit screen is better than TouchWiz 3.0. If you get bored with the look of the application icons are arranged horizontally with 4x4 field application, you can select the List View as an alternative. The latest is the Share app, but not a shared file. Apk from the apps, but only a recommendation for you and your friends the link on Market app. This recommendation can be sent via Bluetooth, email, GMail and SMS.

For the Display settings on this phone, among others: Font style, Home Screen, Lock Screen. In addition of course there are levels of screen brightness, auto rotate, animation, time out, the horizontal calibration and another, touch key light duration, determines the long touch key (touch buttons below the screen) turns on.

Text Input
Text input methods provided by default there are two, namely: the Samsung Keypad and Swype. Keypad for Samsung portrait mode there are several types of keypads that can be selected among other QWERTY, 3x4 (ABC), handwriting Boxes 1 and 2. For its own QWERTY keyboard, although the W Galaxy screen only 3.7 inch wide, but the horizontal diagonal screen more or less the same as the iPhone 4, for an average finger size will not have trouble typing, but it's a capacitive screen that is used is also responsive. Moreover, the phone is quite comfortable

Default instant messenger that is always there in the Galaxy S and all Android handsets are GTalk. Notifications can be arranged, can be raised or not, when raised it will adorn the incoming message notifications on the bar screen. Vibration and ringtone notifications can also be arranged. It's just unfortunately Galaxy W is equipped with LED light notification like some other Android handsets as well as on Blackberry handsets.

Camera
The user interface is somewhat different cameras with Samsung Galaxy S. As usual Samsung buried a lot of features in its Android smartphone's camera, with a maximum resolution of 5MP (2560x1920 pixels), LED flash, autofocus and arrangements such as: flash, shooting mode, scene modes, exposure value, the timer, effects, resolution, white balance, ISO, metering, auto contras and GPS tags. Also you can define shortcuts which will be incorporated into the initial interface of the camera. There are 4 shortcut access to features you use most frequently. To make your focusing only need to touch on the screen (touch focus), but unfortunately this phone does not have physical camera shutter button. You can use the front camera to take pictures, with VGA resolution.

The images is quite good, for in the room although a little pale but still captured images with a clear and sufficiently detailed. Flash is quite helpful to add a little color to the images in the room. For outdoors was already pretty good, colorful display properly, as well as the level of detail, probably because the resulting file quite large, for the room only to 1 MB more, to outside the room with very bright lighting conditions can be 1.6 MB . Please see the following photographs: left-right: indoor with flash, indoor with no flash, macro indoors without flash, macro outdoor, outdoor.

Video Recorder
Just like the interface on the camera, the video recorder you can also add a shortcut access to the 4 icons are available. These features certainly not as complete as the video recorder cameras, among others: flash, recording mode, exposure value, the timer, effects, resolution and white balance. Unfortunately there is no touch focus in video recorder, so that the tape as the camera fixed focus in general.

The results of 720p video recording is pretty good and detailed, not broken. Framerate tends to be stable without frameskip. Produced good color while the level of image sharpness is quite good. The resulting bitrate large 12 300 kbps, which makes the video recordings Galaxy W storage big enough to eat; video duration 31 seconds we recorded generate a file of 45.8 MB.

Photo Gallery
Gallery-style photo gallery using Android with a touch of 3 dimensions when tilting the phone. Gallery displays each folder that has images and video files supported by Galaxy W. Images can be viewed as thumbnails or as of the date. Weaknesses gallery-style Android also is here that is not displaying the title of the file. In these photos may not mean anything anyway because thumbnailnya still appear, but the folder containing the video a different story. Images can be shared, used as wallpaper. Besides the setting is complete, among others: copy, print, edit, crop, rotate left / right, slideshow, rename and details.

Video Player
To test the default video player Samsung Galaxy W, we included 3 types of video, video. Mp4 720p resolution downloaded from Youtube, video. Mkv 720p bluray-rip results, and video xvid. Avi with quality dvd-rip with subtitle. Srt. Mp4 videos from Youtube 720p certainly go smoothly, so it is with xvid video, as well as the subtitle has been able to seamlessly served with smooth and synchronized properly. To play. Mkv 720p is the file can be played, but his voice disappeared. The video was not very smooth, no lag every few seconds. Strange indeed since the smartphone that Samsung's previous generation of Samsung Galaxy S (Super AMOLED version) file is read smoothly, no problems. Perhaps due to the type of processor and GPU are different (W Galaxy using Snapdragon and Adreno 205 GPU, while the Galaxy S uses Hummingbird and Power VR SGX530)

Video can you share as well as pictures. Setting the display brightness to exist, as well as 5.1 channel sound effects (requires headset). Subtitle has its own settings, ie active / absence, size, and sync if video with subtitle out of sync.

The music player also divide playlist into the quick lists, most played, recently played and recently added. Such as images and videos of music files can also be shared, used as a ringtone. For any equalizer settings (normal, pop, rock, jazz etc.) and sound effects as well as mobile-phone Samsung (wide, concert hall, music clarity and others). In addition there are 5.1 effect can be activated but the equalizer and sound effects must be switched off (in normal conditions).

Game 3-dimensional simple-ngebutan speeding motorcycle on the highway it uses accelerometers on Galaxy W and everything runs smoothly without any problems on this phone.

With this third-party launcher applications we use a variety of transition effects on the homescreen and the main menu, but it all could be handled by Samsung Galaxy W, although sometimes not smooth but the performance is pretty good.
