Samsung has announced the Samsung Captivate. The Captivate is an Android OS based smartphone that actually looks like it could be good.
The device falls in to the Samsung Galaxy S class of smartphones and has a Super AMOLED touchscreen measuring 4 inches. Powering the Captivate is a 1GHz hummingbird chip that can shift three times the amount of triangles when compared to a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU seen in devices such as the Nexus One.
A 5 megapixel camera can be found on the Samsung Captivate and it is capable of capturing video at a resolution of 720p. For storage, there’s up to 32GB combined with internal and external.
When launched the Samsung Captivate will run on Android 2.1 rather than the latest Google Android 2.2.
Wireless is built in that allows it to connect up to 802.11b/g/n networks. Overall it looks set to be a fantastic Android device although with it being on AT&T there could be some restrictions in place like we have seen on previous Android devices on that network.
