Samsung Infuse 4G Feel

The first thing which you will notice about Samsung Infuse 4G phone is its large display. The display measures 4.5 inches and is made up of gorilla glass. Samsung Infuse gorilla glass display will protect the phone from smudges and scratches. So you do not have to worry about the safety of the display if you happen to be a rough user of cell phone. The screen is AMOLED in nature which resolves legibility of the screen in direct sunlight.

What really impressed us is the fact that despite such a large display, Samsung has been able to keep the design of the phone pretty sleek.

The phone uses Android 2.2 (Froyo) OS. Though Froyo supports various apps, yet we would have been glad if the phone would have featured Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Another thing which disappointed us was the Samsung Infuse 4G processor. The processor is single core in nature while several smartphones released in the market are equipped with dual core processor.
