The Samsung Omnia 7 is a sharply dressed Windows Phone 7. It is slick, but boxy too, in a cool metallic casing, with a 4” super AMOLED WVGA touchscreen, the covering for which stretches across the whole of the front of the device.
Samsung has added extras to the Samsung Omnia 7, including its own hub, the Now hub, which contains similar apps and info as the HTC hub, although without any of the fancy pants graphics. The Now hub has a news, weather and stocks service powered by Reuters, and is laid out simply, with no fussy extras. It looks boring but functional, and loaded much faster than the HTC hub.
Samsung has also souped up its camera integration a little on the Samsung Omnia 7, and added better integration for uploading photos to social networks.
The Samsung Omnia 7, like all of the Windows Phone 7 launch devices (except the HTC 7 Mozart) has a 5MP camera with autofocus. It also has 720p video recording at 25fps, and 8GB of internal memory. It weighs in a 138g, its dimensions are 122 x 64 x 11mm, and under the hood it has a 1GHz Qualcomm processor.
Talk time for the Samsung Omnia 7 clocks in at 520 minutes on 2G, and 370 minutes on 3G. That’s roughly six to eight and a half hours of battery life in a best case scenario, if you’re on the blower the whole time.
What do you think of the Samsung Omnia 7? Looking good or looking like all the other Windows Phone 7 devices?
