Samsung Captivate: Web Browser Speed Test

In this video we begin by talking about some of the built in application on the AT&T Captivate and how the program tray can be completely customized. What's interesting is that in order to spruce up the tray, Samsung adds a unique colored background to all of your icons. You can view the icons in a list or a grid, or you can customize the order of them by hitting the menu and edit button. Customizing the icons lets you change three of the four dock icons along the bottom, plus side icons around from screen to screen.





About halfway through the video we do a web browser speed test with the Captivate, Nexus One, and iPhone 4. The iPhone 4 comes in last place nearly every time, with the Nexus One and the Captivate sharing the lead. Overall the Captivate is a fantastic web browsing device: the big screen and fast speed makes it a joy to use.

Samsung Captivate 720p HD Video Samples

Like most new smartphones, the Samsung Captivate from AT&T can record video in 1280x720 resolution. That is a lot of resolution, but how is the quality? The below two videos are some samples taken from the Captivate on the highest quality setting. One is shot outdoors on a cloudy day, while the other is shot indoors in low light. While the audio is crisp on both, the video quality is overall lacking in color, and there's also a lot of noise in the indoor sample because the Captivate has no LED light. If you want to see how other smartphones did with this test, take a look at our Droid X, iPhone 4, and EVO 4G 720p video samples.

What do you think about the Captivate sample video?
