Yea, it’s a bit late in coming, but lack of decent internet connection and a bunch of travel-time kept me from uploading this video until now. Anyway, here’s a quick look at Samsung’s new Nokia N95 fighter, the Samsung G810.
With a 5 megapixel camera that delivers the kind of high-end picture and video performance that you’d expect from a Nokia N95 competitor, the Samsung G810 is the real deal. Anti-shake and 3x optical help nudge the G810 a bit higher than the N95, as does the microUSB port. The absence of the dedicated Symbian keys (yea, it runs the same OS as the Nokia N95 too) is punctuated with the presence of four (two pairs) of programmable/contextual soft-keys.
The slider form-factor is a Samsung staple and they really know how to pull it off. The Samsung G810 isn’t exactly slim, but it’s not a fatty either – it feels great in the hand and looks sleeker than the N95. And that sliding camera lens cover, talk about slick. From the short time I had to play with the Samsung G810, I came away impressed. Although, when I compare this thing to the Nokia N96, my outlook on the Samsung G810 is slightly downgraded to “nice.”
