Short Review
- The Samsung Focus features a compact design with dimensions of 124.7 x 64.3 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 119.4g, making it lightweight and portable.
- Its 4.0-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing vibrant colors and decent clarity at approximately 233 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon S1 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU, and 512MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery life is supported by a 1500mAh capacity, though it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- The device runs on Microsoft Windows Phone 7, offering a unique software experience distinct from Android or iOS.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The phone does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Samsung Focus presents a straightforward smartphone experience with essential features for everyday use.
- Its design and display quality stand out, but its performance and camera capabilities are limited by modern standards.
