Samsung Omnia 2 Review

The Samsung Omnia 2 is a smartphone that just may have the potential to compete with the Apple iPhone. With this new mobile from Samsung you get the next generation version of the highly successful Omnia. The Samsung Omnia II features an AMOLED high-resolution display, a great user interface, as well as lots of widgets so that you can easily customize your home screen.

Some of the features of the Samsung Omnia 2 include an impressive 8 GB of internal storage with the option of expanding that memory with a microSD card. If you like your mobiles to have large screens you won’t be disappointed with what the Samsung i8000 Omnia 2 has to offer; you get a large, 3.7-inch screen that displays video and pictures beautifully.

This is a quad band handset that offers several connectivity options including WiFi, Bluetooth, and USB. There is also a built in assisted GPS system, which is always useful for helping you to find your way around an unfamiliar city. Some additional features you get with this phone include a video player, a built in FM radio, as well as video calling, and a 5-megapixel camera that offers auto focus and duel flash.

There is no doubt that with the Samsung Omnia 2 you are getting a stylish and sleek phone that is built of high quality materials. The Omnia II comes with the TouchWiz interface, which is simple and easy to use. You’ll have easy access to all of your contacts and the many applications that come with this handset.

With the Samsung Omnia II you can send text messages, plus it offers support for email, and several social networking applications so you can keep in touch with your friends, and easily upload photos so that you’ll be able to share all of your favorite moments.

The 5-megapixel camera that comes with the Samsung Omnia 2 offers some great advanced photography options such as face detection, anti shake, and panorama mode, as well as geo-tagging by way of the built in GPS system. You’ll get some nice pictures with this camera, likely a little better than what you might expect from a camera phone, though in low lighting pictures may not turn out quite as good. Video will also have some problems.

Although this is a high quality phone there are a few problems with the Samsung Omnia 2; the first being that the screen on this handset isn’t as visible as it should be outdoors. If viewing in bright sunlight it can be a little difficult to see. Of course the camera on the original Omnia was fantastic, and although the camera on the Samsung Omnia 2 is good, it isn’t as good as the camera that was included with the previous version.
