Critic consensus
“Last year's Samsung Focus is the best-selling Windows Phone 7 device to date in the U.S. The new Samsung Focus Flash could be another winner, as it packs a 1.4GHz processor and a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen for a suprisingly low price. It's a nice smartphone, but as yet another midrange black slab, it doesn't stand out enough to get new cell phone buyers to take a chance on Microsoft's fresh OS.”
“We were amazed by the smooth experience, which we had with the Samsung Focus Flash. Again, this fact can be easily explained with the hardware requirements from Microsoft. In an Apple fashion, the software giant has built its OS around specific hardware (in this case, it is Qualcomm made CPUs and chipsets), therefore omitting the possibility of it being a limitation to the overall experience.”
“After weighing in all its positives and negatives, we can say that the Samsung Omnia W is one decent all-around smartphone, especially when we take its price point into account. Sure, it may not come bragging with a dual-core processor, tons of RAM, or any bells and whistles of that kind, but its performance is nothing short of flawless despite the mid-range hardware that is listed on its specs sheet.”
“There’s no arguing that we’re spoiled time after time with some high-end smartphones, but to tell you the truth, it doesn’t require a super-spec’d device to offer a resounding Windows Phone 7.5 Mango experience. Rather, the Samsung Focus Flash is simply one of those understated smartphones that deceptively has a lot of offer for its price – thus, giving us a good performing smartphone that won’t cost us a leg and an arm to purchase. Naturally, we’ll eventually see a decent amount of killer spec’d Windows Phones in the near future, but in the meantime, you can still experience something worthwhile with the Samsung Focus Flash.”
