Product Description

The Samsung Captivate SGH-I897 is one of a number of phones under the Galaxy umbrella. As one of the first phones to be powered by Samsung’s 1 GHz “Hummingbird” Applications Processor, the Captivate employs the Android 2.1 (“Éclair”) OS (upgradeable to 2.2). Other features include 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, A-GPS with navigation, and Mobile TV. The 4.0-in. “Super AMOLED” display (16 million colors, 480 x 800 pixels, chip-in-glass) boasts 20% greater brightness, 80% less sunlight reflection, and 20% lower power consumption than conventional OLED displays. A multitouch capacitive touchscreen overlays the display and responds with haptic feedback. There’s also a 5 MP rear-facing autofocus main camera with HD video recording capability. The Captivate comes with a 3.7 V / 1500 mAh Li-ion polymer battery that provides a claimed ~6 hrs of active battery life and ~340 hrs on standby.
