• Introduction:
  The Samsung G810 is a solid mobile phone, designed around the S60 operating system. This new handset from Samsung is destined to challenge the Nokia N95 as the carry into practice mobile handset.
  First impressions, the G810 certainly looks the part. It is encased in a brush metallic style dead body, and the front panel has four soft keys and a D-Pad style navigation key. The send/end keys on the handset are not situated where you would normally anticipate to find them, instead they are located further down the keypad, near the banner keypad. This does examine annoying in eternally day-to-day usage.
• User interface:
  Samsung G810 is running on the Symbian 9.2 OS and uses the well known S60 3rd edition graphic user interface. The Feature Pack 1 also comes pre-installed. In fact, the OS is probably the most obvious difference from Samsung G800.
  Samsung G810 is really quick and responsive. The i

  cons are also quite nice. They are the same as in Samsung i450.

• Music Player:Samsung G810′s music player looks exactly like on other Symbian 3rd edition devices. It can either be accessed from the menu or from the dedicated key on the right of the D-pad.
  It is surely not the most attractive application in terms of looks but it is as capable as any other music player out there. As usual, there is support for a huge number of audio formats including MP3, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA. M3U playlists are also managed flawlessly and files are automatically added to the music library once downloaded to the phone.Tracks can easily be transferred to the phone via Bluetooth, USB or by simply downloading them from the internet. Upon completing a USB transfer, the phone automatically prompts scanning for new music tracks and, if allowed to do so, adds the new ones to the music library. Samsung G810 comes with Real player and Flash player preinstalled. The videos can be displayed in both portrait and landscape mode according to the user’s preferences.The FM radio can automatically scan and save the available stations in your area. It’s working was also Satisfactory.
• Camera:Samsung G810 lacks the 3D rotating gallery of Nokia N-series smartphones.Other than that the gallery is good.The actual zooming and panning thing is quite fast, as should be in a multimedia handset.The camera is one of the key elements of Samsung G810. It brings xenon flash and 3x optical zoom, which are both rare enough features, reserved exclusively for high-end gadgets. Add auto focus and face detection, and you get camera performance at its present best.Some of the more important settings are picture size, shooting mode (single shot, multi-shot, mosaic, and frame), effects (black and white, sepia, negative etc.), white balance and face detection.
• Beta GPS:
  The final interesting feature of Samsung G810 is the built-in GPS. The chip is not the most sensitive we have seen and needs quite a lot of time to get a satellite lock. Tall buildings around are making the situation even worse.
• Organizer:The calendar in Samsung G810 has three different types of view – monthly, weekly and daily, and four types of events available for scheduling – Meeting, Memo, Anniversary and To-do. Every event has its own unique fields and some allow an alarm to be activated at a preset time to act as a reminder.The mobile office applications are also duly covered. The preinstalled applications are able to open Word and Excel files trouble-free. There is also a PDF reader in the package. As with the other Symbian devices, Samsung G810 has no support for editing documents out-of-the-box. The other included organizing and time-management applications are: a state of the art unit converter and calculator, as well as a Notes application. There is of course also a convenient voice recorder. (recording length is up to an hour).Finally come alarms. You can set up a virtually unlimited number of alarms on your Samsung G810. Furthermore, each of these can have its own name, activation day and repeat pattern. You can also adjust the snooze time.
