三星Galaxy Beam (GT-I8530) 智能手机测评

干涸的姜饼? 三星Galaxy光束与LED投影机是一个中产阶级的智能手机。可悲的是,操作系统是Android 2.3姜饼操作系统。我们会发现,如果该设备是在过去的遗迹,今天仍然是相关的。

Samsung is a famous manufacturer of smartphones. The Korean manufacturer offers models ranging from high-end devices to cheap, entry-level phones. A wide number of operating systems are used to run these phones. The majority of the Samsung smartphones run on Google Android. The cheaper section has phones which run on Samsung's own Bada OS. On top of this, there are also devices which use the Windows Phone OS.

Of course, the Korean manufacturer has also covered special areas. For example, the Galaxy Xcover is an outdoors model and is quite new. In this review, we will test another niche model, the Samsung Galaxy beam. This test model is a middle-class smartphone and is equipped with an LED projector which is a rarity. However, Samsung has already launched a phone with a projector in 2010. Samsung promises a projection area of up to 50 inches (around 127 cm), which measures up to the size of large flat screen TVs. We are excited to see what this mini projector is capable of.

The rest of the specifications are not awe-inspiring: A 4 inch display, Android 2.3, 1 GHz dual-core CPU and 8 GB internal memory. All this is available for 539 Euros (~$700) – which is the recommended price and seems fair.

三星是一个著名的智能手机制造商。韩国制造商提供,从高端设备价格便宜,入门级手机的型号。一个广泛使用的操作系统来运行这些手机。谷歌Android的三星智能手机上运行的大多数。最便宜的手机三星自家的Bada操作系统上运行的。最重要的是,也有使用Windows Phone OS的设备。

 

当然,韩国的制造商也包括特殊领域。例如,银河Xcover是户外模式,是相当新的。在这篇综述中,我们将测试另一种生态位模型,三星Galaxy束。该测试模型是一个中产阶级的智能手机,并配备了LED投影机,这是一个罕见的。不过,三星已经推出了手机与一台投影机在2010年。三星承诺的投影面积高达50英寸(约127厘米),是衡量大屏幕平板电视的大小。我们很高兴地看到,这台微型投影仪能。

 

其余的规格是不凛然:A 4英寸的显示屏,Android 2.3的1 GHz的双核CPU和8 GB内部存储器。所有这一切都为539欧元(约700美元) - 这是建议的价格,似乎是公平的。

Case

Two things about the Samsung Galaxy beam catch your eye: the yellow border and the thicker upper edge. That is where the lens of the LED projector is installed. The Beam measures 12.6 mm at its thickest point which makes it a little chubby. The projector technology also adversely affects the weight. It measures a rather heavy 146 grams. Thankfully, the phone does not feel heavy in the jacket or pant pocket. The materials used for this phone are what would be expected for a middle-class device. The smartphone is made mainly of synthetic material. Only the capacitive touchscreen is protected by a glass panel. The back has a removable battery cover and is also made of synthetic material. However, this material is roughened so that it lies comfortably in the hand and does not slip easily. The user will need sharp fingernails to open the cover as there is no opening mechanism. It has to be "forcibly" removed. As the cover is quite flexible, the user will not have to worry about damaging it. The Samsung Galaxy beam beams in yellow under the cover. Inside, a large battery dominates the space and the camera and projector are not to be seen.

Under the screen, the phone has a so-called home button. It is quite long and to the left and right of it, there are sensor keys. These turn on once the screen is touched. The left button is the menu key and the right one is the back key.

Overall, the workmanship of the Samsung Galaxy beam has no flaws. Our impression of the materials used is also good.

三星Galaxy束的两件事情吸引您的眼球:黄色的边框和较厚的上边缘。这是安装在透镜的LED投影机。束措施12.6毫米,最厚的,这使得它有点小胖。投影机技术也有不利影响的权重。它可以测量一个比较重146克。幸运的是,手机不感到沉重的外套或裤子口袋里。这款手机所用的材料是什么,将可望一个中产阶级设备的。智能手机是主要的合成材料。只有电容式触摸屏的玻璃面板的保护。背面有一个可拆卸的电池盖,也由合成材料制成的。然而,这种材料是粗糙的,使得它位于在手舒适和不打滑容易。用户将需要尖锐的指甲盖打开,因为没有开放机制。它必须是“强行”删除。作为覆盖是相当灵活的,用户将不必担心造成损坏。三星Galaxy束束在黄色的掩护下。在内部,一个大的电池占主导地位的空间和相机和投影机不被看到。

 

在屏幕方面,手机拥有所谓的home键。这是相当长,它的左侧和右侧,有传感器键。这些转一次在屏幕上的感动。左边的按钮是菜单键,右边是返回键。

 

总体来说,做工的三星Galaxy束有没有什么破绽。所用的材料是我们的印象还不错。

Connectivity

One look at the connectivity of the Galaxy beam reveals that Samsung did not intend to make this a cutting-edge or powerful smartphone. This is an averagely-equipped model which is supposed to offer an interesting extra in the form of a projector, and thus make the smartphone worth the investment. A dual-core processor, from the relatively unknown manufacturer, ST-Ericsson, is the beating heart of our test model. The NovaThor U8500 is a SoC with integrated 3D graphics (ARM Mali 400). The clock frequency of the CPU is 1 GHz. The RAM is similarly meager at 768 MB. The internal memory amounts to 8 GB. That may not be much, but thanks to the microSD slot, the user can increase the memory by up to 32 GB at a nominal price.

The rest of the hardware can be quickly listed. The SIM card slot accepts SIM cards of normal size and is protected by a filigree flap (like the microSD slot). In addition, there is a combined USB charging port, two camera lenses, a small speaker on the back and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Finally, we have the LED projector on the top of the device.

一看银河束的连接显示,三星并没有打算让这个尖端的强大的智能手机。这是一个平均设备齐全的模型,这是应该的形式提供了一个有趣的额外的投影机,从而使智能手机值得投资的。双核心处理器,从相对不知名的制造商,ST-爱立信,是我们的测试模型跳动的心脏。的NovaThor U8500是一款SoC集成3D显卡(ARM马里400)。的CPU的时钟频率为1 GHz。 768 MB的RAM同样是微薄的。达8 GB内部存储器。这可能不是太多,但由于microSD插槽,用户可以增加内存高达32 GB的名义价格。

 

其余的硬件可以迅速列出。 SIM卡插槽,接受正常大小的SIM卡,并受一个掐丝瓣(如microSD插槽)。此外,还有组合的USB充电端口,两个相机镜头,一个小喇叭的背面和一个3.5毫米耳机插孔。最后,我们有LED投影机上的顶出装置。

Software

Our test model runs on Android 2.3, which is known as Gingerbread. The version number 2.3.6 is the penultimate revision for Android Gingerbread. However, it's nearly been a year since it was launched. It is obligatory for Android 2.x Smartphones to have at least 3 keys with certain functions. The Samsung Galaxy beam has one physical key and two sensor keys (menu, home and return). All keys can be found at the lower screen edge.  For smartphones, we always judge the positioning of ports from the vertical position, instead of horizontal, which is used for tablets, as they are usually held in that position.

Samsung has "saddled" its TouchWiz UI onto the Google OS. This is also an older release version 3.0. However, the user will not have to give up on much. TouchWiz 4.0 does not offer a lot more. We have not yet received any information about a possible OS update to a newer version of Android.

Communication & GPS 

As expected of a middle-class smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy beam offers fast WLAN (802.11b/g/n) and has a 3G module which is HSPA+-ready. The phone offers transfer speeds of up to 14.4 MB/s downstream. Uploads can reach a maximum of 5.76 MB/s. The Beam is a quad-band model which works on the 850, 900, 1900 and 2100 MHz frequencies. Bluetooth is also provided. Versions 3.0 has better power-saving than its predecessors. Samsung also supports the Audio Streaming profile which allows wireless transmission of music to a car radio or another device. The GPS test application assures us that the installed A-GPS receiver works flawlessly. It takes a few seconds for the receiver to determine the location after it has been switched on. The reception remains stable even in narrow urban canyons.

Telephone functions

The telephone application is securely placed in the central home screen. It offers all the important features such as call lists, direct contact access and a favorites list. The menu key can open up many more context-related functions and settings. This allows the user to connect contacts to a Google account or take a look at the call details. Call settings such as call tone, number forwarding, etc. can be accessed via the system-wide settings menu. The proximity sensor, which switches the screen off as soon as the phone is moved to the ear, can be turned off. The dialing of a number directly from a website works, but with restrictions. If special keys or a space is in the number, the Samsung Galaxy Beam only dials the adjoining part of the number.

Cameras & Multimedia

Nowadays, even the middle-class of smartphones has accepted two cameras as standard. Thus, the Samsung Galaxy Beam is no exception to the rule. The front has a 1.3 MP sensor and the back has a 5 MP camera with LED flash. The camera application is easy to use and the user can only switch between the two cameras in photo mode. Movies can only be recorded by the rear camera. The highest resolution is 1280x720 pixels. The quality of the videos is decent, but the camera does not adjust well to brightness changes.

The quality of pictures taken with the front camera is bad. The photos lack clarity and are tinted blue. The rear camera captures much clearer pictures. Unfortunately, the pictures have a foggy quality. The colors are fine.

 

软件

 

我们的测试模型上运行的Andr​​oid 2.3,这是被称为姜饼。 Android的姜饼版本号2.3.6是倒数第二修订。然而,这几乎是推出以来,已经过了一年。至少有3个按键具有一定功能的Andr​​oid 2.X智能手机,它是强制性的。三星Galaxy束有一个物理键和2的传感器键(菜单,主页和返回)。所有键可以在较低的屏幕边缘。对于智能手机,我们总是判断从垂直位置的定位的端口,而不是水平的,这是用于片剂,因为它们通常是固定在该位置。

 

三星“背负”,它的TouchWiz用户界面上的谷歌操作系统。这也是一个较旧的版本3.0。然而,用户将不必放弃多。的TouchWiz 4.0不提供多很多。我们还没有收到任何信息,有可能发生的OS升级到较新版本的Andr​​oid。

 

通信与GPS

 

正如预期的那样的中产阶级的智能手机,三星Galaxy束提供快速的WLAN(支持802.11b/g/n),并拥有3G模块,这是HSPA +准备。这款手机提供传输速度高达14.4 MB / s的下行。上传最高可以达到5.76 MB / s的。梁是一款四频模式,适用于850,900,1900和2100 MHz的频率。还提供蓝牙。版本3.0比它的前辈有更好的省电。此外,三星还支持音频流的配置文件,它允许无线音乐传输到汽车收音机或其他设备。 GPS测试应用程序,保证我们安装了A-GPS接收器完美的作品。它需要几秒钟的接收器来确定位置后,已开启。接待处保持稳定,即使在狭窄的城市峡谷。

 

电话功能

 

电话应用程序安全地放置在中央的主屏幕。它提供了所有重要功能,如通话清单,请直接接触,访问和收藏夹列表中。菜单键可以打开更多的上下文相关的功能和设置。这允许用户连接接触到一个谷歌帐户,或看一看在呼叫详细信息。通话设置,如来电铃声,号码转移等,都可以通过系统范围的设置菜单。切换屏幕关闭的手机被移动到耳朵,距离感应器,可以将其关闭。拨号的数量直接从一个网站工程,但有一定限制。如果有特殊键或空格的数量,三星Galaxy梁拨打的毗邻部分号码。

 

相机及多媒体

 

如今,即使是中产阶级的智能手机已经接受了两个摄像头作为标准配置。因此,三星Galaxy Beam是没有例外。前面有一个130万像素的传感器和背部有一个500万像素的摄像头,配备LED闪光灯。摄像头应用程序易于使用,用户只能在照片模式中的两个摄像头之间切换。电影的后置摄像头只能记录。最高分辨率为1280×720像素。视频的质量是体面的,但没有调整好相机的亮度变化。

 

与前置摄像头拍摄的照片的质量是不好的。缺乏清晰的照片和蓝色着色。后置摄像头捕捉到更清晰的图片。不幸的是,图片上有一个雾蒙蒙的质量。颜色的罚款。

Accessories

Sensible accessories are provided for very few middle-class smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy Beam holds a nice surprise for us. The delivery includes the usual manuals and warranty cards. It also offers an in-ear stereo headset, extra ear buds and a Smartphone holder which is also the charging station for the secondary battery, which is also provided free-of-cost by Samsung – nice.

Warranty

There is little to mention here. The manufacturer warranty lasts 24 months. Options and extensions are not offered by Samsung.

 

饰品

 

明智的配件提供很少的中产阶级的智能手机。三星Galaxy束为我们拥有一个不错的惊喜。交付包括通常的说明书和保修卡。它还提供了入耳式立体声耳机,额外的耳塞,这也是充电站的二次电池,这也是由三星提供免费的成本 - 漂亮的智能手机持有人。

 

 

有一点在此一提。制造商的保修持续24个月。由三星所没有的选项和扩展。

 

Games

The new games still run well.
The new games still run well.

The GPU named ARM Mali-400 is part of the NovaThor U8500 SoC (System-on-a-Chip). Although the graphics chip of the Samsung Galaxy Beam only has a single core, the performance is sufficient for almost all games. We tested the 3D performance by running Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and Raging Thunder 2, as well as ShadowGun. ShadowGun suffered from a few instances of stuttering. However this did not spoil the gaming experience. We expect future developments in game graphics to quickly push the Samsung Galaxy beam to its limits. However, right now, even racing games like the two mentioned above, run beautifully on the smartphone.

The position sensor of the smartphone is quite sensitive to changes. Although it takes a while to get used to, this feature gives the user precise control in games. The touchscreen also makes playing games fun.

 

GPU的ARM Mali-400的NovaThor U8500 SoC(系统级芯片)的一部分。虽然图形芯片的三星Galaxy梁只有一个核心,其性能足以满足几乎所有的游戏。我们测试的3D性能,运行极品飞车热力追踪和愤怒的雷霆,以及ShadowGun。 ShadowGun患有口吃的几个实例。然而,这并不会破坏游戏体验。我们期待未来游戏的图形发展迅速推向三星Galaxy束到了极限。然而,现在,甚至赛车游戏一样,这两个上面提到的,精美的智能手机上运行。

 

的变化是相当敏感的位置传感器的智能手机。虽然这要花费一段时间才能使用,这个功能在游戏中为用户提供了精确的控制。触摸屏也使玩游戏的乐趣。

 

Input Devices and Interface

As the Samsung Galaxy beam runs on Android 2.3, it needs a physical key. The need for such physical buttons was eliminated by Google Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich. Modern smartphones which use Android 4.0, only have the power button and volume rocker as physical keys.

The home, menu and back keys will not cause any problems on a smartphone which is primarily used in portrait mode. In fact, they permit the user to quickly access important functions. There is very little to criticize about the interface of the Samsung Galaxy beam.  Android Gingerbread is quite refined despite being outdated. We would have liked to have a native screenshot function and a fresher look. Slight stutters while scrolling through the contacts or long webpages are caused by the relatively slower processor and outdated OS. Overall, the device runs quite fluidly, although most Apps require some time to start.

The touchscreen is also satisfactory. Sometimes, the screen may not react when first touched. Turning the screen causes the phone to pause slightly. The phone cannot be used upside down, but turning it to either side works.

随着三星Galaxy束的运行在Android2.3,它需要一个物理按键。被淘汰的谷歌Android4.0又名冰淇淋三明治等物理按键的需要。现代智能手机使用Android4.0,只有电源键和音量键为物理按键。

 

的主页,菜单和返回键,不会引起任何问题,它主要用于在纵向模式下的智能手机。事实上,他们允许用户快速访问重要功能。有很少批评关于三星Galaxy束的接口。 Android的姜饼是相当精炼,尽管没有过时。我们本来希望有一个本地的截图功能和清新的外观。轻微的口吃,通过接触或长期网页滚动时所造成的相对速度较慢的处理器和过时的操作系统。总体而言,设备运行速度相当流畅,虽然大多数应用程序需要一些时间来启动。

 

触摸屏也令人满意。有时,屏幕上可能还没有反应过来时,第一次接触。打开屏幕,使手机暂停略有下降。手机不能颠倒使用,但将其对任何一方的工作。

Display

The display is 4 inches in size and fits nicely in this segment. That also applies to the resolution of 800x480 pixels. Of course, there are manufacturers like LG, who would install an HD display in this price range. Of course, you would not have a projector on board then. As such, we believe the resolution to be appropriate.

Samsung has not given any details about the panel technology used for the Galaxy Beam. We believe it to be IPS technology due to the great viewing angles. The naked test results of the display are meager. The maximum and average brightness of 116 cd/m2 and 108.1 cd/m2 is not enough for use in normal sunlight. This means that in bright rooms or outdoors in the sunlight, it is quite hard to read anything off of the screen. Thankfully, the panel has a high contrast of 760:1, which comes from the great black value of 0.15 cd/m2. The illumination is also meager at 84%. When held in landscape mode, the brightness in the bottom right corner falls quite a bit to 97 cd/m2.

显示屏为4英寸大小,且非常适合在这一领域。这也适用于分辨率为800x480像素。当然,也有制造商,如LG,将安装在这个价格范围内的高清显示。当然,你不会有一台投影机上。因此,我们认为该决议是适当的。

 

三星并没有给银河梁用于面板技术的任何细节。我们相信这是由于IPS技术的伟大的视角。赤裸裸的测试结果显示的是微薄的。是不够的,在正常阳光中使用的最大和平均亮度为116 cd/m2和108.1 cd/m2的。这意味着,在明亮的房间或室外,在阳光的照射下,这是相当难以阅读的屏幕上的任何东西。值得庆幸的是,该面板具有高对比度760:1,这是从巨大的黑色值的0.15 cd/m2的。在84%的照明也是微薄的。当保持在横向模式下,右下角的亮度下

Outdoors usage

Despite the low brightness, the picture quality of the Samsung Galaxy beam is respectable. Pictures and videos come to life thanks to the satisfying black tones and high contrast. True-to-life, strong colors are displayed on the screen. Sadly, due to the low brightness the Smartphone cannot make the most of these amazing qualities. As soon as the sun starts shining strongly, the joy of looking at the screen fades.

Due to the reflective display and the lacking brightness, outdoors use is not a pleasure. As mentioned before, as soon as the sun starts shining, the display content is hard to recognize and the viewing angle becomes small. Often, the user has to use their hand to shadow the screen to see anything at all. This poor brightness is a disappointment for a phone which is intended to be used on the go for surfing on the Internet or capturing photos.

尽管在低亮度的三星Galaxy梁,其画面质量是值得敬佩的。图片和视频来生活满意的黑色为主色调,高对比度。真正的贴近生活的,强烈的色彩会显示在屏幕上。遗憾的是,由于在低亮度的智能手机无法充分利用这些优秀品质。只要太阳开始照耀强烈的喜悦,看着屏幕上出现。

 

由于反射显示和缺乏亮度,在户外使用是不是一种享受。如前所述,尽快太阳开始闪亮,显示内容是难以识别和视场角变小。通常情况下,用户使用他们的手影在屏幕上看到什么。这个可怜的亮度是一个令人失望的一个手机,它的目的是在旅途中使用,在互联网上冲浪,或拍摄照片。

Viewing angles of the Samsung Galaxy beam
The viewing angles of the Samsung Galaxy beam

The viewing angle stability is much better. Both horizontally and vertically, the colors remain stable even up to very wide angles. The colors do not invert. The brightness and contrast do drop at wider angles, which is quite bad as the brightness is already limited.

可视角度稳定性要好得多。同时在水平和垂直方向上保持稳定,颜色甚至高达很宽的角度。颜色不反转。亮度和对比度下降在更广泛的角度,这是非常糟糕的亮度已经有限。

LED Projector

The Samsung Galaxy Beam is named after the Pico projector built into its head. The projector uses DLP technology and LED lighting. The lens measures 16 mm x 10 mm (including the border). This makes our test model slightly heavier than most Android devices, but due to the rarity of a feature like the projector, we will look the other way.

Samsung has announced a luminous flux of 15 ANSI lumens. This may sound to be little to anyone who is experienced with projectors. Most normal projectors require at least 2000 ANSI lumens for sufficient brightness. However, that allows the user to project over an area of 3 square meters and even in daylight. This is not the purpose of the Galaxy Beam. The projector can create a projection of up to 50 inches (diagonally). The room should be darkened for this. The result is truly worth taking a look at. Of course, the buyer should not expect a wonder given the resolution of 640x360 pixels. Still, the projector is well-suited for the projection of a YouTube video with friends and will definitely cause a few jaws to drop. The overhead function is quite nice. The projector emits the picture taken by the camera on the wall in real time. The beamer can also be used as a flashlight which can be quite useful.

三星Galaxy Beam是命名后的Pico投影机内置到它的头上。该投影机采用了DLP技术和LED照明。该镜头尺寸为16毫米×10毫米(包括边界)。这使得我们的测试模型略重于大多数的Android设备,但由于罕见的功能,如投影机,我们将寻找其他方式。

 

三星已经宣布了15 ANSI流明的光通量。这可能听起来是几乎任何人谁是有经验与投影机。大多数普通投影机需要至少2000 ANSI流明,足够的亮度。然而,这允许用户超过面积3平方米的,即使在白天突出。这是不是银河系梁的目的。投影机可以创建一个投影到50英寸(对角线)。机房应变暗了。其结果是非常值得考虑看看。当然,买方不应该指望奇迹的分辨率为640x360像素。不过,投影机是非常适合的投影YouTube的视频与朋友,肯定会导致一些爪下降。函数的开销是相当不错的。投影机发出的相机拍摄的照片在墙壁上实时。的投影仪,也可以用来作为一个手电筒可以是相当有用的。

Performance

For a middle-class smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Beam is equipped appropriately for its time with a dual-core 1 GHz CPU. The RAM should have been a little more than the offered 768 MB. To judge the performance of the Smartphone, we did a comparison with recently tested tablets, as we have not tested any similar smartphones recently. The comparison is pretty fair as tablets are based on basically the same technology.

The benchmarks show that the Samsung Galaxy Beam cannot compete with the current high-end platforms like the Nvidia Tegra 3 or the Samsung Exynos 4412 which are both quad-core SoCs. Tablets, like the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T or the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 thoroughly beat the Galaxy beam in terms of performance.  However, that was to be expected. Middle-class tablets, like the Motorola Xoom 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 are much closer to the Samsung Galaxy beam. Sadly, due to the limited RAM and single-core GPU, the performance is limited and the smartphone is beaten in almost all categories.

In terms of performance, the Samsung Galaxy beam offers sufficient performance for a middle-class device. Working with the phone is a fluid experience with the exception of one or two instances. Of course, the device does not have any reserves for future software.

三星Galaxy梁对于中产阶级的智能手机,配备适当的时间与1 GHz的双核CPU。应该多一点,提供了768 MB的RAM。要判断的智能手机的性能,我们做了一个对比与最近测试片,因为我们还没有测试过任何类似的智能手机。比较是很公平的,,片剂是基于基本相同的技术。

 

基准测试显示,三星Galaxy光束无法与目前的高端平台,如Nvidia的Tegra3或三星Exynos4412四核的SoC。片,像华硕Transformer垫无限TF700T或三星Galaxy注意,10.1彻底击败银河束在性能方面。然而,这是可以预料的。中产阶级片,像摩托罗拉Xoom2和三星Galaxy Tab2 10.1多接近三星Galaxy束的。遗憾的是,由于有限的RAM和单核GPU,性能是有限的,在几乎所有类别的智能手机被殴打。

 

在性能方面,三星Galaxy梁提供足够的中产阶级设备性能。用手机,是一个流畅的体验,除了一个或两个实例。当然,设备没有任何储备,为未来的软件。

Emissions

Noise Emissions

Usually, Smartphones and tablets are silent in this section, and they only make noises when the user wants them to. The Samsung Galaxy Beam is somewhat of an exception. This is due to the power adapter which emits an annoying, high-frequency buzzing sound when it is plugged into the socket, but not to the phone. Of course, most users may not find this to be a problem. However, the author leaves power adapters plugged into sockets for weeks. As such, this annoying issue caused him to search for the source of the noise for an entire day, and that is why he found this issue worth mentioning. With the exception of the power adapter, the Samsung Galaxy Beam remains silent and that is excellent.

噪音排放

 

通常,智能手机和平板电脑都沉默了本节中,他们只让用户希望他们的声音时,。三星Galaxy Beam是有些异常的时候。这是因为当它插入插座的电源适配器,它会发出恼人的,高频率的嗡嗡声,但不是到手机上。当然,大多数用户可能不觉得这是一个问题。然而,笔者使得电源适配器插入插座数周。因此,这个恼人的问题导致他寻找一整天的噪声源,这就是为什么他发现这个问题值得一提。除了电源适配器,三星Galaxy的梁保持沉默,这是优秀。

Temperatures

The Samsung Galaxy Beam is no hot-head, as is shown by our temperature measurements. In everyday use, the maximum temperature reached by the device is 33.4 degrees Celsius, about as warm as a hand. There are also smartphones with stronger CPUs which remain cooler like the HTC One S. In the stability test, the CPU and GPU are stressed to the maximum and the temperatures at our 9 measurement points rise significantly. However, they remain below 43 degrees Celsius which means there is nothing to worry about.

三星Galaxy Beam是不热的头,这表明了我们的温度测量。在日常使用中的设备的最高温度达到了摄氏33.4度,温暖的手。也有更强的CPU仍然冷却器的HTC S.的稳定性测试等智能手机,CPU和GPU都达到最大值,在我们的9个测量点的温度上升显著强调。然而,他们仍然低于43摄氏度,这意味着有什么可担心的。

Speakers

The speakers installed in the back of the Samsung Galaxy beam will probably be mainly used as a loudspeaker for calls or for sound output of a YouTube video. The user should not expect more from the mini box. The speaker does its job passably. It is quite loud and the highs are too dominant. Very high notes can be uncomfortable to hear. The small speaker has no bass to offer. Its volume is sufficient for a loudspeaker and for short calls, the quality is sufficient. The provided stereo headset should be used for longer calls or enjoying music. It performs its duty quite well.

扬声器安装在后面的三星Galaxy梁可能会被主要用作扬声器进行通话或声音输出的YouTube视频。用户不应该期待更多的迷你箱。扬声器它的工作还过得去。这是很大声,的高音太占优势。非常高的票据可以听到不舒服。小喇叭没有提供低音。它的体积是足以用于扬声器和作短暂呼叫,质量是足够了。长时间通话或欣赏音乐时,应使用随机提供的立体声耳机。它执行其职责相当不错的。

Battery Life

Power Consumption

Samsung has provided our test model with a 7.6 Wh battery and has also packed in a second, identical battery with a charging station in the delivery package. The double batteries come in handy when using the projector. The Lithium-Ion battery has a capacity of 2000 mAh which is decent for a Smartphone.

The power consumption of the Samsung Galaxy beam is very conservative while the projector is off. While idle, the power consumption ranges between 1.5 and 2.2 W. At full load, the power consumption without the projector rises up to 2.8 W. When the projector is turned on, the power usage can reach up to 3.9 W.

耗电量

 

三星提供了我们的测试模型用7.6 Wh电池,还装在交付包中的第二,相同的电池的充电站。双电池在使用投影机时派上用场。锂离子电池容量为2000毫安时,这是体面的智能手机。

 

三星Galaxy束的功耗是非常保守的,当投影机处于关闭状态。处于闲置状态时,功率消耗的范围在1.5和2.2 W.之间在满负荷时,功耗没有投影机上升至2.8 W.当投影机被导通,电源使用可达3.9 W。

Battery Life

The two identical batteries give the Galaxy beam enough reserves. Our tests were only run on a single battery. The second battery will double the run times as it has identical specifications. 

The maximum run time is measured with lowest brightness and all communication modules turned off. Only the WLAN is on as we need to load a special text script. The smartphone's own power-saving mode is also turned on. 18 hours and 13 minutes is a decent run time for the Samsung Galaxy beam. The same is true for the WLAN surf test as well, but with one difference. We normally test at a brightness of 150 cd/m2, but as the Samsung Galaxy beam cannot reach this level, we tested the smartphone with full brightness. This gives the test model a clear advantage over other models which have higher brightness. Still, the run time of 10 hours and 25 minutes is quite good. Even at load (Stability test), the smartphone can run for four and a half hours.

The run time with the projector on is also a topic of interest. The test model lasted slightly more than 3 hours in this test. That is a respectable run time in our opinion. After all, the second battery is always available.

Reliable estimations of the possible talk times in 2G and 3G mode are always hard to make as the results vary depending on the reception, surroundings and base station which the smartphone is currently using. Samsung proclaims up to 15 hours talk time in the GSM network and up to 9 hours in UMTS use. We tested the phone in both networks for one hour with a full battery. The remaining battery level in 2G was 94% and 91% for 3G. This means that the numbers provided by Samsung are quite accurate.

The battery life of the Samsung Galaxy beam is very good. Paired with the second battery, the device can run for multiple days.

两个相同的电池给银河束足够的储备。我们的测试只能运行在一个单一的电池。第二块电池的运行时间将增加一倍,因为它具有相同的规格。 

最低亮度,关闭所有通信模块的最大运行时间的测量。只有WLAN是因为我们需要加载一个特殊的文本脚本。智能手机的省电模式也打开了。 18小时13分钟,是一个不错的三星Galaxy束的运行时间。以及为WLAN冲浪试验的,但有一点不同也是如此。我们通常在亮度为150 cd/m2的测试,但是,三星Galaxy束不能达到这个水平,我们测试了智能手机与全亮度。这给测试模型具有明显的优势,具有更高的亮度比其他车型。尽管如此,运行时间10小时25分钟,是相当不错的。即使是在负载(稳定性测试),智能手机可以运行为四年半小时。 

投影机上的运行时间也是一个有意义的话题。在本次测试的测试模型历时略超过3个小时。在我们看来,这是一个令人尊敬的运行时间。毕竟,第二块电池始终可用。 

可靠的估计可能出现的通话时间在2G和3G模式总是很难做的结果取决于接收,环境和基站的智能手机目前使用的。三星宣布长达15小时的通话时间在GSM网络和UMTS使用时间长达9小时。我们测试的是手机在两个网络,一个小时,一个完整的电池。剩余的电池电量为94%和91%的3G在2G。这意味着,由三星公司提供的数目都相当准确。 

三星Galaxy束的电池寿命是非常好的。与所述第二电池配对,该设备可以运行多个天。

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy beam is good, but too expensive.
The Samsung Galaxy Beam is good but too expensive.

Without the projector, the Samsung Galaxy Beam would be just another middle-class smartphone. However, this Pico projector turns the Samsung beam into a unique piece in the smartphone scene.

The workmanship looks and feels fine, but the buyer should not expect anything other than synthetic material for this category. That also applies to the hardware. A dual-core CPU and 768 MB RAM may not be generous, but they suffice for the current tasks. The 800x480 pixels resolution leaves room for improvement, but fits well for the smartphone.

The operating system is the outdated Android 2.3 Gingerbread. If the user has used a phone with Android 4, then he/she will notice that Gingerbread is slightly outdated. However, this does not mean that the system is bad. The long development has culminated in a stable OS which can be intuitively used.

The main weakness of the Samsung Galaxy Beam would be the display. Although the colors, contrast and viewing angles are good, the brightness is far too low, and the phone cannot fully show off its strengths.

The projector of the Galaxy beam is a useful feature. The flashlight function will definitely come in handy from time to time and the phone is also good for video projections - at least, good enough to impress your friends.

Samsung has delivered a second, identical battery with a charging station. It is a generous decision which allows the smartphone to run for a long time. Although, even on one battery, the smartphone manages to last quite long.

With the exception of the display, few things about the Samsung Galaxy Beam bother us. The high-pitched buzzing of the power adapter annoyed the tester. However, this only occurs when the adapter is in the power socket and not connected to the phone.

At the end of the day, the Samsung Galaxy Beam is a good middle-class smartphone which offers a lot of functionality and projector. In our opinion, the recommended price of 539 Euro (~$700) is too high. To answer the question we posed at the start of this review: the Gingerbread may be older, but it is far from being decrepit.

没有投影机,三星Galaxy梁只是一个中产阶级的智能手机。然而,这种微型投影机变成了三星束在智能手机的场景成为独一无二的作品。

 

做工的外观和感觉很好,但不应该指望买方以外的任何这一类的合成材料。这也适用于硬件。双核CPU和768 MB RAM可能不会是慷慨的,但他们目前的任务足够。 800×480像素的分辨率还有改进的余地,但非常适合于智能手机。

 

操作系统是过时的Andr​​oid 2.3姜饼。如果用户已经使用了手机与Android,那么他/她会发现,姜饼是稍微过时的。然而,这并不意味着该系统是坏的。在长期的发展已经达到了高潮,在一个稳定的操作系统,可以直观地使用。

 

的主要弱点的三星Galaxy梁的显示。虽然在色彩,对比度和可视角度都不错,亮度太低,手机不能充分展示其优势。

 

银河束的投影机是一个非常有用的功能。手电筒功能肯定会派上用场,不时和视频投影手机也是不错的 - 至少不够好,你的朋友留下深刻的印象。

 

三星已经交付了第二个相同的电池与充电站。这是一个慷慨的决定,这使智能手机运行很长一段时间。虽然,即使是在一个电池,智能手机管理持续相当长的。

 

除了显示,三星Galaxy梁的几件事情打扰我们。电源适配器的高音调的嗡嗡声惹恼了测试仪。不过,这只是发生时,适配器在电源插座上,而不是连接到手机。

 

在一天结束的时候,三星Galaxy Beam是一个很好的中间级的智能手机,它提供了大量的功能和投影机。我们认为,建议售价539欧元(约700美元)过高。要回答这个问题,我们提出了在开始这篇评论:姜饼可能是年纪大了,但它是远从破旧的。

What we like

Samsung delivers a secondary battery which increases the time the phone can be used significantly, and makes the Galaxy beam a long-lasting device.

What we miss

A brighter display. That would make this phone into a well-rounded package without any major flaws. Samsung could also offer Android 4.x in the future.

What surprises us

The small projector may seem like a joke at first glance, but it works well for its size.

The competition

Middle class smartphones are like sand in the ocean. We can not pick specific competitors as we would have to leave out quite a few others.

我们喜欢

 

三星提供的二次电池的时候,可以使用手机的显著增加,使银河束长久的设备。

 

我们错过了

 

更明亮的显示。这将使这款手机成为一个成熟的包没有任何重大的缺陷。三星也可以提供Android4.x的未来。

 

但令人惊讶的

 

小的投影机可能第一眼看起来像一个笑话,但它的工作原理以及它的大小。

 

本次大赛

 

中产阶级智能手机是海洋中的沙子一样。我们不能选择特定的竞争对手,因为我们有一些人要离开。
