The back case might feel a little cheap, but the impression is it's pretty well put together. There's no flex in the chassis when you squeeze it and there are none of the unpleasant gaps in the frame that would hint at a poor construction. In my time with it, I was convinced it could put up with a few knocks -- just don't spill anything on that crisp white jacket.
There's a xpixel front-facing camera for making video calls, and on the back is a 2-megapixel camera. While that offers more pixels than some very low-end Android devices, it's not going to satisfy the truly dedicated shutterbugs -- especially as there's no LED flash.
If you really want to capture the world in all its glory on your 'droid, you should look towards the Galaxy S3, HTC One X or Sony Xperia S -- we've even done a lovely comparison of them for you. The screen on the S WiFi measures 4. If you're used to the S2, it's unlikely you'd notice such a small difference. But if you tend to have your hand wrapped around goliaths like the Galaxy S3 or the HTC One X , you might find it lacking -- although if you owned those, you probably wouldn't need one anyway.
Given the S WiFi's slightly smaller size, it has a higher pixel density than the S2, but I don't think you'd ever tell the difference, no matter how long you stared at them. The iPod touch offers a resolution of x pixels on a smaller 3. So in terms of sheer clarity, the iPod wins, hands down. Of course, the iPod's screen is smaller and it's more expensive. So if you want more screen space for your apps and a few quid left in your pocket, the Samsung might be your thing. Compared to most screens, it's not bad at all though, and I personally prefer the more natural colour balance over the often over-saturated look of the S2.
I found it perfectly pleasant for watching YouTube clips and playing colourful games like Angry Birds , which is, of course, exactly what it's designed for. Gingerbread has been replaced by the more recent Android 4. It's not surprising that the S WiFi isn't running the latest version of the software. Firstly, it's much cheaper than Samsung's top range of devices like the Galaxy S3 so the company wasn't not likely to put premium software onto it. It's also not a phone, so some of the features of ICS would be redundant.
For its job of providing access to music, videos and apps, Gingerbread will do the job fine. Although Samsung makes a habit of re-skinning Android with its TouchWiz interface, it hasn't done a whole lot with the main structure of the software here. It's a simple and straightforward interface. If you're at all familiar with Android then you'll be right at home. There are seven home screens to fill up with all your apps and live widgets.
At the bottom of the screen are shortcuts that take you directly to your music and video collections, the web browser or to view your installed apps. Placing an app or widget down onto one of the home screens is a simple process. Press and hold on a spare space to bring up a menu for choosing what gets pride of place up front.
You can't resize the widgets like you can in ICS so you'll have to arrange them in whatever way looks best for you. Samsung has added a few pieces of its own software into the mix including its Social Hub for easy access to all your friends' goings on among the social networks.
Dinky silver grills at the top and bottom of the player hide a pair of speakers, which give you a genuine stereo image if you hold the device fairly close to your face. Maximum volume is higher than the smarpthone average too, although there is some slight distortion at top volume and — predictably — sound quality is pretty lo-fi and bass non-existent. A good compromise between size and ultimate portability, it makes the iPod touch feel dinky and yet still fits comfortably into pockets.
Screen quality is middling by top-end smartphone standards. The Galaxy S WiFi 4. However, text is not noticeably blocky unless you look close — where the pixel structure is pretty obvious with the naked eye.
Viewing angles are much improved over the previous model, letting people crowd around the screen to watch a movie. Would you want to though? Probably not. Along with the ability to phone people, of course. However, Android 2. Using it feels just like a phone — it even indexes your contacts in standard phone-like manner, although tap on a phone number and the WiFi 4.
This offers a few extra widgets, with which you can customise your home screens, an icon dock at the bottom of these screens and a tweaked apps menu. You can view your installed apps as either a standard four icon-wide grid or a long list. Samsung apps The player is also graced with an array of Samsung-made apps.
The AllShare app is similar, but a bit more involved. Plenty of connected Samsung devices support AllShare, and the app lets you stream videos, photos or music over to them using Wi-Fi.
DLNA is notoriously tricky to set up correctly, and these apps make the procedure that bit easier. Samsung AllShare. Social Hub is probably the most-used of the Samsung apps. This lets you login to social networks Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, and acts as a — you guessed it — hub for all your social networking updates.
Kies Air is wireless sync device that lets you copy files over from your computer over Wi-Fi and ChatON is a chat interface. With a single-core 1GHz processor, there is some lag in more intense 3D games, and some are not supported by the device. It costs roughly the same amount, and while the extra 0. On codec support, it succeeds entirely. There appears to be a tiny amount of noise when the headphone out is outputting sound, but maximum volume is unusually high.
