Attention. This is valuable survey, since our hands visited prototype having unstable software, and also not having a number of functions, including for example, it lacks the key for camera on the side. However, even apparatus in this form makes it possible to estimate the key special features Of samsung Of s8500 and to make conclusions about its future.

Positioning

This is the first model to Bada, which is mobile platform from Samsung, precisely, this name they give in the company for Bada. In the separate material there will be the story about the fact that such the mobile platform, what prospects in it, and thus far several words about the first flag officer of company to Bada and its positioning.

The roots Of bada lie at the previous models, since ideologically and by apparatus, they are similar. The model Of s8500 or Wave grew from Samsung Of s8000 Of jet, they were based on one apparatus base (with the large stretch, processor the same into 1 Hzへるつ, storage capacity is a little increased, but they replaced radio-part and set of other components – these are different models as a result). But by program this is Wave the straight descendant Of jet, Beza any reductions. Positioning these devices is one and the same, sensory telephone for the people, whom is necessary the balanced solution, the possibility to look video from the box, to listen to music, to examine Internet- pages. The solution “are everything in one” in the treatment from Samsung. And it is necessary to note that the solution came out extremely interesting.

The period of life of apparatuses and flag officers from Samsung constantly is shortened, so S8500 will be hero not only on WCM 2010, but also to the autumn of this year. Then to it for the change will arrive another model with the best characteristics. The rate of the development of the platform Of bada will be extremely great. But the basic reserve of functionality is already shown in this apparatus and it is extremely great.

Rejecting marketing words, it is possible to boldly assert that Wave is one of the most powerful telephones, smartphones, briefly by apparatus meant in its class, there is not one model of that compared in the relationship price/quality, and also having so representative functional a collection. However, give from the prefaces let us switch over to survey.

The design, the sizes, which control are the elements

Model is classical sensory telephone, large screen and mechanical keys under it. Central button is made in the form rhubmus, which pleases by far from all, but taking into account that it is processed only one action, namely pressure, then with this everything in the order. The button of the promise of call and ring-off they are comfortable.

Size of telephone – 118×56x10.9 mm, weight of approximately 102 grams. Altogether we obtain the very elegant telephone, which is less than the same Of nexus Of one and this difference strikes. Although both apparatuses lie well at the hands, whereas the larger size Of nexus is caused by the larger diagonal of screen.

Comparison from Google Of nexus:

The color solution thus far only one, possibly later, as this they love into Samsung a quantity of colors it will be enlarged. In the life the apparatus does not produce any strong impression, the ordinary design, in something which became conservative, but possibly this is not bad.

Above the screen is located frontal camera for videocalls, here the sensor of illumination, in the apparatus also is a sensor of approximation the built-in electronic compass.

Standard microUSB- joint is located on the upper end, to it is possible to connect cable for the transmission of data, or charger. Joint after the shifting shutter of that fastened to the housing. Here standard joint 3.5 mm, in the telephone is the chosen chip Of dNSe corresponding for working of the sound, which coincides with the same in players from Samsung.

On the right lateral side there is a key for blocking, only below there will be the key for the camera (in its our apparatus no, this a deficiency in the prototype).

The quality of assembling on is excellent, glass- covers screen, and they carried out objective with the flash to the rear surface.

Display

Approximately the year ago in Barcelona, the company Of samsung showed products with the AMOLED- screens, which seemed at that moment, by the best versions of displays for the cell phones. In the middle June 2009 is announced Samsung Of jet, in which is established the AMOLED- matrix of last generation, its diagonal of 3.1 inches, and permission of 480×800 of points.

It is less than in year, company derives for the market the new technology with the name Of super AMOLED. Difference from usual AMOLED not only in the positioning, but also another organization of displays themselves. If in standard AMOLED screen are used several layers, between which the air space is located, then into Super AMOLED this sensory layer is only one and any air clearances. This makes it possible to attain during the same energy consumption of larger screen brilliance (approximately by 20 percent), and also the exceptional finesse of screen itself – the thickness of base layer 0.001 mm. the technology, which lies at the basis is called AMOLED of on-cell, when entire controlling electronics is arranged in the screen, it is not required the separate, remote components.

This screen behaves excellently in the sun, actually it is compared with the screens having the special reflecting layer. Screen is read on hurray. The first matrices have a diagonal of 3.3 inches, a permission of 800×480 of the points (they reflect 16 million colors). Specifically, this screen is established into S8500. At the given moment the technology Of super AMOLED will be accessible only in the products from Samsung (portable electronics), competitors obtain the screens of the previous generation – for example, is such the screen, established into Google Of nexus Of one, let us recall how it conducts in the sun.

The new type of capacitive screen gives a number of the advantages:

In the life such screens strike imagination. Very bright, very qualitative. Better nothing in portable electronics simply it met. After that screen Of nexus, yes even other models are regarded something pale. Entirely pale reflection of reality. But somebody after the survey of this screen even saw colored sleeps in the same color range, so this produced indelible impression. Clever manners of consciousness.

Comparison from Google Of nexus:

Comparison from Nokia X6:

Comparison from Samsung Of s8000:

In the practical plan the display is extremely convenient, there is the automatic tuning of image brightness depending on illumination.

In the apparatuses from Samsung also is used the technology Of vibeZ – with the pressures on the keys occurs the vibration of housing, which confirms your action.

On the screen it is placed to 16 lines of text and to three official lines. In the regime of reading communications this can be to 24 lines, depending on selected type. Also it is possible to scale the text of the lateral of the key for volume control, from the most gigantic to the smallest. For the screen in the tuning it is possible to select size and tracing of type, but they strongly do not differ. It is another matter that in contrast to many models screen type is here enormous, it is read easily from any distance. This is plus of apparatus.

In the sun screen we read, and this is its large plus, the matrices of this size so in the sun do not conduct well.

In the apparatus there is the built-in sensor of motion, it makes it possible to turn havoc screen, to turn over the pages the lists of photographs with the survey by the simple inclination of apparatus. In the telephone appeared the function Of smart Of unLock – from the standby mode it is possible to draw letter in order to neglect the collection of the specific number or the call of function (to 9 functions).

You do consider that a quantity of technologies of Wave used in the screen did end? I and in the company Of samsung have one additional raisin. Telephone is the first product, for which they adapted the sufficiently old technology Of dNIe (Digital Of natural Of image of engine). It is universal and is used on the different television sets of company, it was for the first time represented in 2003. In 2010 appears its mobile version, respectively and the designation of mDNIe. Within the framework this technology rises the contrast of picture, increases detailing and color reproduction, noise is suppressed. Video is analyzed and is processed by 4 filters, the analysis of motion at first occurs, so that in the sequence there would be no washed away parts of the picture, then contrast is analyzed and picture is led to the new values (analysis to 70.000 sections of picture), then image details are processed by filter, the most significant sections are separated, they become more sharply. Color saturation is analyzed in the last stage, brightness is regulated.

Unfortunately, to open mDNIe to S8500 is impossible, this technology is built-in. Therefore its contribution can be will be estimated only at the moment, when other producers obtain analogous matrices. I place on the fact that the pictures will differ, it is in more detail about the reasons for this, we speak in the material about the technologies from Samsung on MWC, it is possible to read already today him.

Storage battery

In the telephone is used the lithiumionic storage battery with a capacity of 1500 [mAch]. On the statement of producer, it is capable to ensure to 8.5 hours of work in the regime of conversation, to 450 hours in the standby mode. Under the conditions of European networks the apparatus worked on the average of approximately 2 days with the hour of conversations, several communications during the day, the minimum use of mail, to three hours of music and radio, obtaining mail every two hours (both EDGE and WiFi). Thereby, who constantly uses mail and web, this apparatus will be able to give only one day of work. Time of complete battery charging – about 2 hours.

The playback of not converted video is possible for approximately 5.5 hours. Playback of music to 30 hours. An increase in the battery in comparison with Jet led to an analogous increase in the operating time. But it is necessary to measure the given parameters in the commercial model.

USB, Bluetooth, the communication line possibilities

Bluetooth. This is one of the first models with the version Of bluetooth 3.0, which also is called High Of speed. With the transfer of files to other devices with the support to this technology will begin to operate WiFi 802.11 n, and the theoretical speed of transmission comprises order 24 Mbit/s. Checking the transfer 1 Gb of file from one S8500 to another, showed maximum speed on the order of 12 MBit/s within the limits of three meters between the devices.

Model supports different profiles, in particular, Headset, Handsfree, Serial Of port, Dial Up Of networking, File Of transfer, Object Of push, Basic Of printing, SIM Of access, A2DP. Work with the sets causes no questions, everything is ordinary.

USB- connection. In the menu it is possible to select one of three possible operating modes: Media, Mass Of storage, Samsung PC Of studio. The regime of modem for the apparatus is not provided, but in this quality it is easy to use with the aid of PC Of studio or having simply established driver.

In the regime USB Of mass Of storage the apparatus wonderfully is caught without the additional drivers, it is possible to copy necessary data. Version USB – 2, the speed of transmission of data – about 4.5 Mb/s.

With the connection to PK is not admitted simultaneous work USB and Bluetooth, apparatus requires turning off Bluetooth independently of the current state (there is whether connection and transfer or not), this extremely inconveniently.

The apparatus is recharged with the USB- connection.

For the GSM- networks is provided EDGE of class 12.

WiFi. Is supported the standard of 802.11 b/g/n, the master of work is similar on the same for Bluetooth. It is possible to memorize the selected networks, automatically to be connected to them. Minuses include the fact that in some public networks (for example, Beeline Of wiFi Of free) it is realized the procedure of authentification, which why does not work in Jet without the established SIM- map. It turns out that for using WiFi is required not regime “in the aircraft”, but valuable connection to the network. However, the approximately similar solution in lg Of arena and row of other apparatuses, that it is possible to count as explicit minus. Other serious deficiencies realization WiFi does not have.

For the first time into S8500 appears the possibility of tuning connection to router into one contact, for this it is necessary to harvest key on router, and to also activate analogous button in the menu of apparatus (WPA Of secureEasySetup).

Memory, the map of the memory

In the telephone 2 Gb of the built-in memory (it is planned version with 8 Gb), are original to user accessibly about 1.5 Gb. The map of memory is visible separately, there is a possibility of mapping all folders (both from the map of memory and of internal). There is a file manager, who makes it possible to copy files both from the map, and to it. For the maps of memory is not provided “hot” replacement. We verified the work of the maps of microSD with capacity to 32 Gb, everything works.

Camera

In our model the camera did not work, but utilized model was analogous what adapts into Samsung Of jet.

Usual 5-megapixel module with the auto-focus. The interface of camera horizontal, the selection of all options occurs from the screen by simple pressure on icons, they large, with the camera it is convenient to work due to this.

(+) to increase, 2560×1920, JPEG (+) to increase, 2560×1920, JPEG
(+) to increase, 2560×1920, JPEG (+) to increase, 2560×1920, JPEG

To the changes in the camera is worth carrying the appeared record HD- video, and also different filters for the photographs (Lomo, Vintage and so on). In the commercial model, we will test this functionality.

Control with the aid of the gestures

One of the first apparatuses from Samsung, in which is realized the complete version of control with the aid of the built-in sensor. The work of sensor is activated by the lateral of key and here it is possible to turn over songs in the list, to wind them forward, back, to stop playback. The supported applications these are not only Fm- radio and player, but also camera (photograph by clapping on the housing), game, bell according to the selected number. Control with the aid of the gestures contextual, depends on that, in which application you are situated. In the standby mode it is possible to appoint two functions to the vehicle excursion to the left or to the right. You get accustomed after a certain time, and to use this function is convenient.

Etiquette – with the bell, the work alarm clocks or event from the calendar, it suffices to overturn telephone so that the sound would be muted, the profile of apparatus in this case does not change.

The regime of loud connection – it is possible to dispose apparatus in such a way that during the bell after placing it on the table you would activate the regime of loud connection. Trifle, but extremely pleasant.

To the dual clapping on the housing it is possible to appoint the starting of one or other application or another or bell according to the number.

There is the built-in textbook of that how to govern telephone with the aid of the gestures, it is sufficient one time in order to memorize them, good control will master child.

Menu, the interface

Into Samsung they it is no secret that made an interface Of touchWiz crosscountry race- platform and it is possible to find in the models both to OS from Samsung (from now on this Bada) and Symbian, Windows Of mobile, Android. However, originally TouchWiz was developed for its own OS, and here its possibilities were maximum, yes even appear most rapidly new functions. Also both into Jet for the first time was used the second version of interface and into Wave appears TouchWiz 3d, which is the third generation of interface and strongest in all senses.

The unlocking of screen is possible with the aid of the gesture, semi-transparent field appears at the screen. Which is interesting on it is possible to sketch any letters, and if they correlated actions, then the call of function or the collection of number will follow. Everything to your discretion, quality of the realization Of smart Of unlock one of the good on the market.

In the standby mode you see working table with the widgets, on silence the telephone has three working tables. But after overturning apparatus horizontally can be added additional panels, in all to ten. Taking into account this number of surfaces, place will be sufficient for all widgets. Them in the apparatus on silence of approximately twenty, but it is possible to load new. Rule with the widgets now is arranged in the lower part of the screen, so it is more convenient, there is no piling up of elements and random pressure on the panel with the widgets, which was constant on the screen in the previous versions Of touchWiz.

It is possible to fall in the main menu, after clicking the icon in the lower part of the screen. Main menu is represented by the matrix of 3×4. Work with the sensory screen is simple. You press on the point necessary to you, and it proves to be selected, field for information input – dual pressure, you first select field, you cause keyboard by the second. As with the working tables it is possible to add to 10 pages of menu. Taking into account that is not supported the addition of its icons and references, this is not very necessary. To if only scatter all your icons over the different surfaces, but then to turn over the pages you get tired. It is convenient, that all icons except menu, can be arranged as to you conveniently. I.e., is rigidly fixed only one icon.

Information input is accomplished from the screen keyboard, which is maximally similar to the usual keyboard of telephones. Buttons are depicted, several symbols are substituted for each; also there is a manuscript text entry. In order to select necessary letter, for you it is necessary to press several times on the key. There is a QWERTY- keyboard, it is maximally convenient, even for the collection by one hand.

Is present the regime of the predictive text entry Of T9. On the keyboard this regime is included in one contact. Telephone proposes the diverse variants of words, guesses them, which makes it possible to select them from the list into one contact.

Lower rule is present in all menu, in it the keys are made contextual, i.e., their value and quantity (maximum 4) change depending on the current menu.

Warming up of lists. If we carry out to the left of the screen, then warming up will be more rapidly, than to the right. Trifle, and improves the functionality of the solution several times, makes it more conveniently. For the lists with the names there is a possibility of rapid warming up for the necessary word, for example, in the list of images it is possible rapidly to twist it to the necessary letter, this is convenient.

In the menu appeared the status line, here 4 icons of the start/of disconnection GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, sound. But also here appear all events, for example, arrived SMS, mail, bells and so on. It is very similar to that, as this is done into Android.

Multitasking. The realization of multitasking is ordinary, by the retention of central key you is called the list of the neglected applications, can be switched between them. Mapping the miniatures of applications or three-dimensional revolving menu is possible, you select that which to you is more on the soul. Can be shut both the all applications and separate. From the limitations of multitasking it is worthwhile to note only one- browser and camera they cannot work simultaneously.

Telephone book

To cause contacts is possible from the rule of rapid starting in the lower part of the screen, before you will reflect the list, which contains all records both of the memory of telephone and from the SIM- map. There are layings – the first this is common list. The second of the group of subscribers, then selected.

It is possible to dispose apparatus for the left-hander, then slider is to the right. List is reflected only by names, to the left of them the photograph of subscriber, for the survey of the components of contact it is necessary to open it.

As the picture of name can come out any graphic file, and also your photographs or video. For the name it is possible to write down to 5 numbers of the telephones of different types (mobile, office, domestic, fax, another), one of them will be basic (on silence – first introduced). Fields are not fixed. From the menu of telephone it is possible to introduce additional fields, for example, the address of electronic mail, usual address and so on.

In the telephone two fields for the name and the surname (search only on the first field), during mapping of field are summarized, first goes field name. Moreover they created the summing field explicitly. For example, Eldar Of Murtazin shows precisely in this sequence. The length of each field is equal to 20 symbols, moreover for any of the supported languages of introduction. You can also alternate different languages with the collection of name.

The sorting of records in different languages is achieved in the order: first all contacts in the local language (for example, Russian), then all names in the English. This is sufficiently convenient and it is usual according to the computer programs. Taking into account the possibility of the rapid switching of language with the search, it becomes clear that the records in different languages do not compose problem in this apparatus. The sorting of list on the name or the surname is present.

Let us return to the filling of name; besides the telephones, it is possible to write down the address of the electronic mail (them it can be several), small text note. For the name is possible the selection of any sonic file as the melody of the bell, including of mp3- composition. You easily can create the necessary number of groups, select for each your melody, the picture (on silence created three groups and out of the group). For the SMS- communications there is a selection of its melody of bell.

In the memory of telephone it remains to 2000 names with all filled numbers and data. If we fill not all fields, then the number of names nevertheless will remain equal to two thousand. In the tuning it is possible to indicate, where on silence all new numbers will be written. There is tuning the transfer of records from the memory of SIM- map and vice versa. Developers calculated, what in a best manner for the synchronization is PK, in particular, use MS Of outlook. Any record can be rapidly sent for another device as SMS/MMS, post communication, and also through Bluetooth. No difficulties with the sending it appears, the record of the telephone book departs to another device without the problems and in exactly the same manner it will recognize.

In the telephone it is possible to bring its morning coat, its size coincides completely with the usual record of the telephone book.

In the list of rapid collection it can be to 12 numbers, moreover to carry it is possible and the separate numbers of one name. The signature of in the form selected name or photograph appears at the buttons, but not the type of telephone.

You can create themselves the arbitrary number of groups of subscribers. For each group it is possible to select picture and melody. Into group it can enter to 20 subscribers.

With the entering bell the picture is derived to half of screen, it is well visible.

For the individual subscriber it is possible to establish its version of vibration (selection of five).

A difference in the model from all previous in the fact that with the survey of contact you see immediately 4 layings, if the first contains entire information about the contact, then the second is called history, in it is derived correspondence, bells and so on. The third laying is called Activities, in it are enumerated all social services, connected with this person, for example, of his account and with respect to record into Twitter/Facebook. It is very convenient to examine everything in one place.

The last laying Of media, here are reflected the files of subscriber from Flickr and other social networks. Something similar we saw in the shell HTC Of sense, here model left to the same level, to use such layings is convenient. In our model, this functionality was limited; therefore about it we will have a talk in greater detail in the complete survey.

Lists of the calls

In each of the lists it is indicated to 30 numbers of telephones. There is the united list of last bells, communications SMS, (only of 90 records), here icon notes the type of event. For the different events are represented various lists, which is convenient, is possible to examine SMS- communications or only outgoing bells only.

It is possible rapidly to pass of one list to another. For the separate record with the detailed survey it is possible to see date and time of bell. Identical bells are summarized, their number shows opposite the number. It is traditional in this menu it is possible to see the total time of all bells and their cost (if service is disposed).

For the separate numbers it is possible to conduct black list, then bells from them will not start.

Various list for the sent communications is present.

Communications

Analogous with other producers into Samsung they forewent the artificial separation of communications on SMS/MMS, you create communication, and already depending on its contents it treats as AS SMS or OF MMS. In the menu remained the option, which makes it possible in the forced order to switch communication in MMS (for example, you should send only text, but to the electronic mail, passing the built-in post client).

There is a regime of mapping communications both in the classical form and in the form chat room. Text messages it is possible to archive on the map of memory.

In the memory of telephone it can be stored to 1000 communications, apparatus supports standard EMS, it is compatible from Nokia Of smart Of messaging. With the sending it is possible to select names both of the telephone book and from the list of last of those used or from the groups. The possibility of conducting the black list for all forms of communications traditionally is present, then any communications from the numbers indicated will be automatically moved away. There is the possibility to transfer communications into its folders. For the electronic mail the blocking is possible not only with the address, but also on the theme of communication.

There is a limitation to the size of MMS- communication in 295 KB, but the size of the communication adopted is unconfined. From the additional tuning it is necessary to note the possibility of the deviation of advertising communications, a selection of the type of the method of communication in roaming and in the domestic network. Communications remain in the common dynamic memory, the same also for the electronic mail.

There is also the useful function of the sending of SOS- communications. If it are activated, then in the extreme situation after fourfold pressure on the key for a change in the loudness communication “I am in of emergency. Please of help Me” there will be sent indicated earlier contacts, and the entering bells from these numbers, the obtained after sending communications, they will start automatically. The numbers of subscribers (not are more 5) and the number of repetitions of communication can be indicated independently; however, text does not edit.

The built-in post client is usual, any special features he does not have. In all can be disposed to 5 accounts, limitation to the number of communications for each equal to 1000. are supported investments, but limitation to the size of communication with the sending 1 mb., for the communication adopted the limitation is equal to 5 mb. The obtained files can be examined on the device with the aid of the built-in browser. There is no support HTML in the letters, which causes the disturbance of formatting the majority of the obtained letters, to examine them is not too comfortable. Relative to HTML, support they promise to add to the moment of the output of apparatus into sale.

There is the master of installation, who helps to dispose mail.

Organizer

In the memory of telephone it is possible to preserve to 500 records, this one type of events – encounter. Also there is to 100 records of anniversaries. For each record is established time and the date of event and the time of its end is indicated. It is possible to advance signal and interval, in which it will operate, there are the repeated events (moreover is tuned the time of alliteration, exceptions are indicated, this conveniently). The survey of calendar in the month and the week is realized conveniently, each type of events has its color, everything clearly. Calendar is reflected both in the album and portrait orientation of screen.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to immediately introduce event, after harvesting on the specific day in the calendar, there is no mapping list of three matters for the selected day with the survey of month.

Notes – usual text notes. They are designed here beautifully.

Tasks – to 100 tasks with the nomination of priority.

Time. Are united several functions, this universal time. Time for the selected cities is reflected, everything is simple and it is clearly. Appeared the map, on which it is possible to select time zone. Also is alarm clocks, reverse counting, timer.

Calculator – simplest calculator.

Converter – makes it possible to convert some values into others, very convenient realization, entire list is immediately visible on the screen.

Dictophone. In all can be written down to several hours of vocal reminders, in this case the number of records is unconfined. In principle, the limitation the duration of record is indicated by user, it can be equal to 1 hour. In the memory all records are stored in the separate folder. The record of dictophone during the lectures, the round tables is completely adequate, it is possible to decipher it. To a certain degree telephone substitutes digital dictophone. It works during the conversation.

Bluetooth. Visually utility is uncommon, it is possible to look the map of devices, like some managers on the table computers, it is possible to be switched in the usual list of devices. All functions are supported, there are no limitations.

Games. For the Java- applications is supported multitasking, it is possible to neglect several applications, to roll up them. The recall of application is possible from the list. A quantity of predetermined games can differ depending on market.

Communities (previously Share Of pix) – the utility, which will become standard on many apparatuses from Samsung. It is possible to select one of the net services, to indicate its stock-taking data, and telephone will send your photographs in the automatic regime, simultaneously entering that indicated by you tag.

Google. In this division is hidden the search to Google, actually these are browser, also access to the post service Of gmail, plus the valuable version Of google Of maps (in their commercial version it can not be, since predetermined navigation from Route 66). Let us begin from the end. Maps are completely usual, gladdens only the diagonal of screen, to look map is convenient as to twist by its hands. Complete administration from the screen, it is possible to look form from the satellite or actual chart area. Position finding from the base stations, works in Moscow Beza any problems. To say something special about the maps is impossible, it works. The built-in GPS- receiver is supported.

Browser. These are the continuation of the browser Of jet of that based to webkit, only its version now 2.0 (name of the browser Of dolfin). Differences from the same Of netFront striking, after preserving work experience with that browser, here added a number unique diag. for example, for the first time is encountered the possibility of tuning the brightness of the illumination of screen in the browser itself, it is not anywhere necessary to leave. For the work on street this is amazingly pleasant piece. The support of flash makes it possible to examine all resources, without any limitations. With one of the first, browser supports the built-in prohibition to the showing of banners. We verified this function in a number of resources, she works.

In the browser the RSS- client is supported, it is possible to load tapes. Is supported the history of the examined pages in the form of miniatures, the same for the layings. Scaling to x10 with the aid of one finger. Formatting the contained site into one column. Filter on the pictures, the search for words on the page. Support Of javascript, Flash. The valuable browser, which is maximally similar on the convenience on the same into Apple of iPhone. Rapid and qualitative. Apparatus by these wins.

File Of manager (My files)

Strictly, all files are here assembled: music, picture, video, sounds. All loaded files fall here. From the deficiencies it is worthwhile to note that sometimes the file is mapped into common list not immediately, it is necessary to leave and to again open list.

Is supported mapping the files both in the form of the list and in the form icons. Can be selected both one and several files of the list. Such file operations, as copying, removal, transfer of files are supported (memory of telephone, the map of memory). The sorting of files can occur both on the time and according to the type, the name, the size. In the common list on silence the files of both types of memory are reflected.

Tuning

Traditionally it is possible to protect any division of telephone by password. Are indicated the time of the illumination of screen, its brightness. There is no special or uncommon tuning of any kind in the telephone. There is a collection from different of wall-papers. Profiles are present, with their aid it is possible to rapidly replace tuning apparatus.

Traditionally is tuned the size of type with the collection of number, its color and style.

For VibeZ it is possible to dispose the force of vibration.

Apparatus supports WITH TV Of out.

Mobile Of tracker – you indicate the number of the telephone, to which will be sent away the communications with the replacement of SIM- map. In the obtained communication you will see the number of the SIM- map, used in your apparatus. To enter into this division is possible only on the password which prevents turning off of the function of information without the knowledge of password. With the installation of new SIM- map the communication is sent away only one time, each subsequent replacement of map causes new communication. The interesting possibility, which to a certain degree increases chances to reveal telephone, if they stole it.

Picsel Of viewer

To briefly describe Picsel Of viewer is possible as the application, which opens on the telephone the files of the size MS Of office (for example, MS Of word, Excel, PowerPoint), Adobe Of acrobat (PDF), graphic and video formats. The charm of technology in its speed, the discovery 20 mb. file PDF occupy the order of several seconds, further you can rapidly twist page, to scale them, to turn as to you is convenient. Any editing of files, only survey, but this is sufficiently, especially taking into consideration the lack the need for the additional conversion of files for the mobile device.

Navigation. Are used the program Of route66, this fully functional application for the navigation step by step (turn by of turn), vocal prompts and to that similar things in the presence. Application is ordinary. I doubt, that many will pay for the complete version of program, yes even for the users of this apparatus navigation will not be the so necessary element of telephone. Although by someone it can be required.

My accounts. The united place, where are assembled all accounts from the social web. Uniting account is the same from bada to access the app store.

System Of manager. Utility is clearly borrowed from Android, here only its functionality is very small at the given moment. It is possible to look the load of processor, activity, and also which charge of battery. But special common sense now, this manager does not bear, since to kill separate applications, until it is cannot. But apparently in this direction, something will be made.

Smart Of search – utility, which makes it possible to search for all and entire in the telephone both on the name of the division of menu and on the name of file, can be searched for only in the specific categories. They will consider many, that the utility is copied with the same on the products Of s60, but I will for the sake of fairness note that Samsung created this search three years ago and why it threw, now it decided, apparently, to revive.

Allshare. The utility, built on the standard of uPnP, when it is possible to load from other devices on WiFi files (streaming). For example, after establishing server program to its laptop computer, I transmitted to the telephone music, podcasts, video. Everything works well, for the telephones of the class Of s8500 this function into the novelty, although it is well familiar on a number of products from Nokia on the platform Of s60.

MP3 Player

The player was radically improved, its component part became Disk UI, i.e., interface by something similar to the disk, the whether CD, then whether by the disk of control, its kind by vernier, to judge to you. Opening musical player in the usual orientation of screen, you see before yourselves list of all compositions (All of tracks), navigating titles along horizontal it is possible to see the lists of reproduction (they they contain both your lists and automatic – frequently lost, rapid list, recently lost). In the same rule they carried out filter on the executors, and also the albums. In both cases it is possible to look not at the names, but to advance the regime of mapping covers. It is here necessary to note that for by the forest of beauty into Samsung to the albums and the executors, deprived covers they added their picture on silence. This somewhat confuses you, interface begins to make gaudy. Unfortunately, until into S8500 there is no function of the search for cover for the composition, but it they promise to add in the future, it is possible that up to the moment of the commercial output of telephone into sale.

The built-in search makes it possible to search for in the lists of executor or song on the letters; also there is an option for any composition to find something more similar (Find of similar). Telephone issues the names of executors and songs, you can add them in your list of those desired, so-called wish of list. For the majority of the countries musical store from Samsung will not be accessible at the moment, when appears S8500; therefore is not integrated the function of the load of the fragment of melody, or purchase of music. But originally in the possibilities of the player this functionality exists, it is blocked at the given moment.

We pass to the horizontal mapping of the menu of the player. We turn over telephone and the roundabout from the disks appears before us. This to the regime of covers in the row of other models, for example, in the same Of samsung Of jet was similarly something similar. We select necessary disk and is seen the list of songs, it is possible to select necessary and to begin playback. But the possibilities of this regime are not contained by on this. Thus, if we stretch screen with the covers downward, then you will see the circle, with the aid of which it is possible to search for the letters of executors, songs, albums and so on. Very pleasant control, which is simply irreplaceable with the large collection of songs. You will be able to look on video, as everything works.


The formulation of the player can go in two versions – with the cover of album, or the equalizer. The first version pleases me, since the second already painfully strongly itch in the eyes. In other respects of player it is typical for the products from Samsung, give, let us briefly transfer characteristics.

It supports the random, sequential and cyclic reproduction of tracks. To load mp3- files into the telephone is possible both directly through Bluetooth and from the program of synchronization or Windows Of media Of player. Files can have any names and tags, including in the Russian language, telephone understands well them. The bitrate of files also does not play large role, apparatus perfectly well understands all accessible sizes. Also are supported files WMA, AAC, eAAC, eAAC+.

During the playback show the number of the current song, the total number of compositions. Equalizer exists, but there is no possibility whatever for its tuning. Playback can go both through to the stereo-set and through the loud connection. Loudness has 14 gradations. User can create its playlists. The player works also in the background regime. In this case on the screen is reflected the name of composition and the prompt to the control elements, which is pleasant.

In the standby mode with convoluted the player are reflected the elements of its control and the name of the current composition.

In the regime of loud connection the dynamic loudspeaker plays not very purely, is not sufficient power, but sound in this case loud, telephone well audibly.

The quality of the playback of music with its head sets is very not bad. This apparatus was pleased to me most of all among the musical models. The subjective impression, which can be it connected with the fact that me pleases telephone itself and this it was extended also to the music, I do not know.

For hearing of the music through to set there is a regime of 5.1 Surround, this is of its kind the equalizer, which makes sound volumetric. Competitor and the analog Of dolby Of mobile.

Find Of music (previously it was called Music Of recognition) – the analog Of trackID from the company Of sony Of ericsson. Executor and song is determined on the recorded fragment of composition. Pluses include the large number of Russian executors, by these program wins in TrackID.

Fm- radio. In the memory of apparatus it is possible to preserve to 99 radio stations, the range of accessible frequencies – from 87.5 MHz to 108 MHz. There is automatic tuning of all stations, but for the separate channels it is not possible to appoint its name, they are always reflected in the form frequency, numbers. Radio works also in the regime of loud connection. The realization of radio is normal, not all radio stations apparatus assumes well, but as a whole everything at the normal level, it is compared with the telephones of other producers. Radio works in the background regime.

Function RDS shows not only the title of radio station in the common list above, but also other information. Radio transmissions can be written into the memory of telephone.

Record player of video

What it is possible to invent in the playback of video? However, into Samsung they decided to transfer one of the chips used in its players, for example, YP-P3. This is mosaic search inside video. You select, what type of search is necessary to you (16 or 32 pictures) and further telephone divides off file into the equal parts and it shows to you the picture of sequence and its time. In one contact it is possible to switch over to necessary moment. On the file Of dVDrip 1.3 Gb the search into 32 pictures occupies about ten seconds.

Other characteristics of the player are ordinary, there is the accelerated rewinding of x8, it is possible to jump into another place of file, after stretching the slider of playback, is supported DNSe. Producer does declare, that is supported the playback of HD- video, but so whether it is necessary? List of the supported sizes – MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WMV, DivX, XviD. Practically all files from the net depositories, played on this telephone without the problems.

Taking into account, the quality of picture, this telephone become one of best players. Picture can be scaled under the screen, or show in the original aspect (for example, with the black strips along the sides).

Editor of video. Application improved in comparison with the previous apparatuses, appeared the support of the high resolutions, for example, of 720×480 or 1280×720 of points. Traditionally it is possible to add several sound tracks, video, captions. Not very necessary thing in the telephone, however, it is present.

Gallery

Photographs are reflected in the form miniatures, list is opened very rapidly, there are no delays whatever even with the large number of photographs or images. In the list the filters are supported, so it is possible to sort out photographs on the tags, the date, or to examine that only selected. Sorting on persona, i.e., to man protrudes as new filter. In the gallery there is the built-in recognition of the persons, in the separate photographs, the apparatus can recognize independently face of man and even correlate him with the appropriate contact in the telephone book (in our prototype this function did not work completely, but we will verify how everything will proceed up to the moment of starting).

Traditionally it is possible to neglect slide- show, and it is possible to send necessary photograph or photographs, to other devices, using any accessible method, including Bluetooth. For those, who actively use social networks, is provided the possibility of the instantaneous load of photograph into the selected network.

From the new functions the possibility of designing of Flesch- roller from several images, this roller can be assigned to contact. Then with the bell will change picture, and also play music from this roller, if you attend to by its addition.

Scaling of picture is familiar on other apparatuses, you retain finger on the picture and further you will introduce into the necessary side. Picture either increases or it decreases. One additional proof of the fact that there are many convenient gestures for the scaling.

Dynamic sketches (Dynamic Of canvas). Simple graphic editor, to me was pleased the possibility to preserve files in Flesch, then it is possible in the form animations to look, as you sketched on the screen, it appears attractively. In contrast to Samsung Of jet appeared the possibility not simply to sketch patterns, but to also assign direction of motion, animated effects.

Synchronization. Is supported New PC Of studio, which indicates complete possibilities on the synchronization in all and entire. Plus apparatus supports Microsoft Of exchange.

Survey of the packet Of new Of samsung PC Of suite

Vocal collection. Apparatus supports vocal collection without the preliminary training, in particular, you can name the name of subscriber and the type of telephone, apparatus will propose to it to ring. Also it is possible to cause applications. Is interesting the regime of driving in the automobile, then all new events, telephone it will read out to you aloud, this is convenient. As a whole of censures to the vocal collection and the commands no, they work well. Is used the vocal packet Of nuance of version 4.0.

Impressions

Device will be put on the market in April, that extremely short period. This is one of the most rapid devices on the market on the speed of the operation of interface. First telephone from bluetoth 3.0 and WiFi of b/g/n. For the first time in the device is used Super AMOLED, and also processor for the working graphs and the technology of mDNIe. Also there is a sonic processor. The housing metallic, glass- covers screen. Built-in memory, plus of the map of memory. Outstanding set of functions, a good browser. Social Of hub, which integrates all social activities. You know, I can transfer these pluses very for long. Even in the absence programs for Bada, this solution already appears extremely strong. In its segment these are extremely strong player, one of the best models of the first half-year of 2010. A question about the cost remains open. You will assume it. Think, how much they will ask for this apparatus? In Europe its price will be about 450 Euros at the end in April. After flag officer from Samsung this is extremely adequate cost, yes even the possibility of apparatus tell they themselves for itself. Tasty proposal in all senses. It is nearer at the beginning sales, we will renew this preliminary survey and will describe to you about all possibilities of telephone very in detail. Model deserves this, it will clearly become one of the sign not only for Samsung, but also for the industry as a whole, it assigns the lath of quality and cost.
