Mobile Phone Reviews :The Samsung Galaxy Apollo GT i5801

It may be a little on the chunky side, but if you’re not prepared to pay the eye-watering prices currently on offer for a high-end Android phone, you’d do well to consider this little brute. OK, in the world of Samsung mobile phones, the Samsung Galaxy Apollo isn’t in the same league as the superb Samsung Galaxy S – one of the best smartphones out there at present. Excellent though it is, the Galaxy S is also distinctly expensive (currently around £450 for a SIM-only deal).

Like the Galaxy S, the GT-i5891 includes the version 2.1 Android operating system, and if you’re into contract mobile phones, the handset’s yours for free if you opt for a two year contract at £20 a month (SIM-free it’ll set you back £225 or you could opt for a pay-as-you-go deal for about £150). But there are other allures to the phone, too. Like its wonderfully responsive touch screen: it uses a capacitative (rather than a resistive) screen that supports multi-touch – just pinch your fingers together and you’ll zoom in on the webpage, map or image you’re viewing. A Qaulcomm processor drives the action, running at around 667 MHz. That’s zippy enough for the average user, but it tends to be a little tardy if you’ve got lots of widgets open on your screen. You’ll easily get two days of use from a single battery charge-up, though.

Samsung has thrown in a DivX-certified video-playing app (resolution 720×480 pixels) so you won’t need to re-encode DivX or Xvid videos on your PC first in order to view them. There’s also a 3.2 megapixel camera, and the supplied in-ear headphones give surprisingly good audio playback when you’re listening to music, with a pleasingly gutsy bass.

The Samsung Galaxy S managed to make waves all over the Internet, even as other phones kept getting announced, and others even released. That goes a long way to show us that the Galaxy S has a lot of sustaining features, even if it hasn’t been officially released. People haven’t forgotten about it. And, now that Vodafone UK have gone ahead and pulled the curtain off their pre-order page for the handset, things are only going to get better for the newest superphone from Samsung.

We’ve already been over this a few (hundred) times, but we’ll go ahead and add a bit of a refresher. Specs wise, the Galaxy S features a 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, a 1GHz Hummingbird processor under the hood, and it’s running Android 2.1. Just three features listed here (there’s plenty more, but these are the defining ones), and already we remember why we want this phone so badly.

According to Vodafone, the Galaxy S is going to be made available for free, starting on new, two-year contracts. You’ll have to pay £35 per month to get the hugely subsidized price, but we imagine you’re already used to that kind of thing. What makes it better? The wireless carrier is saying that the device will be made available on June 15th. Yes, that’s literally right around the corner. So, get your pre-order on, and when you get your device, be sure to let us know what you think of it!

The Tocco Ultra is a phone with the classic Samsung slide design and a full touch screen driven user interface.

The handset was one of the first to include an AMOLED screen – Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode, if you’ve ever wondered what the anagram stood for – a high resolution screen, 240 x 400 pixels measuring 2.8 inches; this is on the large side for a slide phone but small for a touch screen.

The camera is eight megapixels, with smile detection, LED flash and geo tagging meaning that your pictures will be dated and the location marked wherever you are in the world thanks to the built-in GPS receiver. The video can record at a high VGA resolution and video conferencing is also available.

The Tocco Ultra comes with a media player that supports the most popular format music files, plays videos and there is an FM radio with RDS. There is no jack, so you’re stuck using the headset supplied by the manufacturer or buying a Bluetooth stereo headset. The internal memory is very limited, 80 MB, which only has the capacity to store one favourite CD but you have the option of increasing the memory with a memory card to a more respectable 16 GB.

As well as geo-tagging your pictures the GPS is also useful for navigation and finding your nearest petrol station.

The Phone does not come with Wi-Fi but supports Bluetooth, USB, HSDPA and EDGE.
