Samsung S8000 Jet review
Network and connections
On the market you may hear about both the S8000 Jet and the S8003 Jet. Samsung presents the subject of this review as the original model. The variation in the product code is probably attributable to industry operators trying to achieve some differentiation. In any case, the S8000 Jet has a GSM Quadband network receiver, on frequencies of 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. In addition, signal coverage is also guaranteed by support for UMTS networks. To surf the Internet you can count on the fast HSDPA modem, to reach speeds equal to home ADSL. The HTML browser will only have to worry about the correct display of Web pages. In addition, the Wi-Fi antenna allows you to take advantage of distributed networks. There's also the convenient Bluetooth for exchanging data with other devices.
Design and features
An elegant and clean style, with glossy black surfaces that give a touch of importance to the S8000 Jet. The dimensions remain in line with the main competitors, with 11.9 mm of thickness and 110 grams of weight. The edges are rounded to offer greater ergonomics in the grip. On the front side stands out the large display, a bright and sharp 3.1-inch AMOLED, capable of displaying up to 16 million colors. It is also equipped with Resistive Touch Screen technology, which allows precise and fast management of every operation.
Main features
The platform on which this Samsung is based is proprietary to the company. The menus are however simple and intuitive, for optimal content customization. The Java support also allows you to install additional software as desired. The processor with as much as 800 MHz really pushes any type of installed application. Support for predictive text helps a lot in managing text, from SMS to E-mail. You can also view Office and PDF documents perfectly, through the appropriate readers. The accelerometer is useful for automatically adapting images, based on the rotation of the display. Images are therefore interactive, thanks to the Media Gate 3D software. Also complete from the telephone point of view, with speakerphone, voice recorder and support for video calls.
Entertainment and multimedia
An excellent tool for free time, the Samsung S8000 Jet proves to be truly valid in every respect. The integrated camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels, which allow perfect capture of images and movies. The dedicated functions are numerous, such as Smile Detection, autofocus and Geo-Tagging. The latter is possible thanks to GPS support, which also allows you to use the phone as a satellite navigator. To play audio and video files there's the dedicated multimedia player. There's also the AM/FM radio antenna to receive your favorite stations. It comes equipped with Stereo and RDS functions. The battery life is also very good: up to 406 hours in Stand-by.
