Samsung is now being diligent to produce multimedia phones as several previous products. Okay, I'm not so concerned with numbers or business strategy. I just really care about the phones. Jet S8000 is said be one of Samsung's mainstay this year.
Design
Using the full touchscreen concept , this device look minimalist, with a screen that meets the front of the device. Although looking calm, Jet looks flirty little blessing glossy color effect on the body surface. Interestingly, at the battery cover there is a holographic effect with stripes motif. Seen to be so cool, attractive.
Jet has a fairly obvious navigation buttons below the screen. Pentagon shape, but if you look carefully, the navigation buttons are created as if it resembles a cube shape. then you know what the intent of this form of that navigation buttons. Besides the navigation button, there's another button on the right, and it's camera button.
Features
this phone look minimalist, has all the multimedia features of the high-end class. you can see from the display, using 16 million color AMOLED technology with high resolution 480 x 800 pixels, Jet promises still look clear despite facing the sun. Jet screen uses resistive touchscreen technology.
Behind this screen, Jet presents the latest TouchWiz UI v2.0. Some new things in v2.0 TouchWiz UI is a virtual desktop feature that allows us to have three standby page (home) at once.
To access the live three-page just drag your finger to the right or left. we can set each desktop appearance, eg added with widgets or wallpaper, differently for each page. Jet equipped with 5 megapixel camera, it's powerful enough, even for video recording, it can record images with D1 quality (720 x 480 pixel resolution).
With tons of features, Jet requires huge memory space and reliability processor. That's why Samsung provides 2 GB of internal memory for Jet, and we still can add a MicroSD memory card. While for the processor, Jet had a Qualcomm MSM6246 with 800Mhz clock speed. The presence of these processors will make the process work more quickly. Perhaps because it get a nickname Jet S8000, like a jet flying.. so fast..
Performance
Really a great phone, as long as I do the test for this device, i am addicted to touching the screen. TouchWiz UI version 2.0 can make real comfortable and the effects are pretty, very nice. Well, there's one think new in Jet's user interface, namely the 3D UI Media Gate. This is the secret I'd like to start from early in the design discussion. Yep, the cube-shaped navigation button apparently refers to the shape of this Gate Media 3D UI.
Now, to access this UI we must press the button so long that one with the camera button. Once inside, we will present a 3D cube with each side showing six multimedia menu; albums (photos), music player, video player, FM radio, games and internet. The most fun, we can move this box with our fingers as they pleased, in whichever direction, Cool. AMOLED screen is stunning, the display produce smooth and crisp color.
I addicted when using a Samsung Jet can not be separated from the role of the processor. This processor proved capable of running various applications and features quickly. Some applications are usually longer be opened, such as video players (especially fitting to playing videos), Internet browser, camera, GPS and 3D effects, Jet can run quickly, without any hang or lag symptoms.
