First Look: Samsung Continuum

 

When clamshell phones were all the rage we revelled with excitement at the idea of a second screen on the outside that would give you valuable information without having to flip open the handset. In an age where phones are blocks of plastic, metal and...

Second screen lets you see notifications, Twitter messages, and the like, Wi-Fi hotspot option

Plastic feels cheap, home screen cluttered, do you really need two screens?

Samsung Continuum Review - PCWorld

 

When we first heard about the Samsung Continuum ($200 with a two-year contract from Verizon), we were skeptical but intrigued. Does a full-touch smartphone need a secondary "ticker" display? Ultimately we found the ticker display more useful than...

Secondary display can be useful

Search and Maps powered by Bing, not Google

The attractive and speedy Samsung Continuum’s secondary ticker display can be useful, but it isn't for everyone.

Samsung Continuum (Verizon Wireless)

 

The Samsung Continuum adds a cool secondary display to a petite Android phone.

Small and light. Feels well-built. Ticker display shows useful information.

Mediocre voice quality. Redundant social-networking and e-mail clients. Ticker can show old data.

Otherwise, the Continuum is a Galaxy S phone, which is a pretty good thing. Like other Galaxy S devices, the Continuum runs Android 2.1 on a 1GHz Samsung Hummingbird processor and it's compatible with the 100,000 apps in the Android Market. The...

Samsung Continuum Review

 

A few months ago when the Samsung Fascinate, a Galaxy S smartphone, was released for Verizon, it was the first device for the carrier to sport a Super AMOLED display. Now a new Galaxy S-branded model has hit the streets, just in time for the Holiday...

Samsung Continuum Review

 

Samsung previously piqued my interested with it's Galaxy S Fascinate, so I've been excited to give the Continuum a try. The Continuum is much like the Fascinate except it has a 1.8” 480×96 AMOLED “ticker” display underneath the main screen for...

Samsung Continuum Review

 

The Samsung Continuum is an Android OS smartphone with an unusual design built around two Super AMOLED touchscreens, as well as a set of other high-end features. Jen Edwards brings us a review of this device.

Samsung Continuum Review

 

It is currently available exclusively from Verizon Wireless for $200 with a new two-year service agreement

Super AMOLED screen really shines ; Secondary "ticker" display is surprisingly handy ; Quick and responsive ; Good external speaker ; Camera produces good shots, if you're careful and/or skilled

Voice quality is less than desired ; Video quality also could be better

While the voice quality tests were somewhat disappointing, and there was a weird crash when I first tried to set up Wi-Fi, the phone performed very well in all other respects. It has a slim shape and a light weight so it's easy to hold, it has two...

The big question is, which Galaxy S phone should I get on Verizon? The answer depends on what you're looking for. Both the Fascinate and Continuum perform about the same, and besides physical dimensions they are pretty identical in the hardware...
