Samsung Infuse 4G SGH-I997 - Mobile Review


The Infuse 4G measures 5.2 by 2.8 by 0.35 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.9 ounces. Even though it's razor-thin, the Infuse 4G is long and wide enough that anyone with small hands may have trouble holding it up to their ear for long conversations. The phone's crisp lines and nicely textured back panel help offset its plastic body. The overall effect looks trim and reasonably high-end.The 4.5-inch, Super AMOLED Plus glass capacitive touch screen looks amazing in person, with brilliant color and deep black levels. Super AMOLED Plus has the pure blacks of AMOLED, with better visibility in sunlight (that's the Super) and better colors created by a new arrangement of subpixels (that's the Plus.) With a 4.5-inch panel, though, it's time to go to a higher resolution than 480-by-800. This is the first time I noticed individual pixels in fonts on a 480-by-800-pixel screen. That said, the on-screen QWERTY keyboards are huge, even in portrait mode. Both orientations made typing long messages a cinch. Dialing numbers was also easy and fast.
