Hands-On With the Samsung Infuse 4G

I'll come right out and say it: to me, size matters.

I'll come right out and say it: to me, size matters. So when I heard about the Infuse 4G's huge 4.5-inch screen, I asked AT&T to send me a review unit, possibly out of morbid curiosity. Could a phone this big really make a girl happy? The answer is yes, my friends. Oh, yes.

I had read from the AT&T press release that the Infuse 4G would be big, but I didn't realize just how large it was until I peeled open the box. The thing is massive (only a few inches smaller than the Samsung Galaxy Tab!), but strangely enough I didn't mind. In fact, the bright and beautiful Super AMOLED Plus screen makes this one of the most spectacular smartphones to look at, and totally worth the real estate it will be taking up in your bag or pants pocket. The Infuse is wide, but it's incredibly thin. The phone measures 9.24mm thick at its largest (it has a lip at the bottom where the speaker/microphone lives), and is very sleek with its brushed gunmetal color and texturized backplate. Plus, it's so light (maybe the lightest phone I've handled in recent memory), but it doesn't send off that cheap, plastic vibe. The quality of the hardware is really impressive, and I gotta give Samsung a round of applause for this one. Well done.

Samsung Infuse 4G 4.5-inch Smartphone Details

Expanding on its lineup of 4G phones, AT&T announced yesterday that it would be carrying the Samsung Infuse 4G starting on May 15 for $200. Quite the contrast to the tiny HP Veer 4G, the Infuse will come with a huge 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen and will run Android 2.2. The screen may be big, but this device is super thin — coming in at just 8.9 mm to 9.24mm thick. Other features coming with the Infuse include two cameras — an 8MP rear-facing camera capable of HD 720p video, and a 1.3MP front facing camera for video chatting — and a virtual QWERTY keyboard.


The best parts may be the included media access, though, as this phone comes stocked with an exclusive hidden-level version of Angry Birds, $25 worth of credits to use in the Samsung Media Hub, as well as access to U-verse Mobile and U-verse Live TV. With a screen that big, watching videos should be pretty enjoyable. Check out more images of the super-sized Infuse 4G in the slideshow!
