Samsung Omnia W review

Windows Phone is now firmly established as a smartphone...

Well sized for the hand; solid if uninspiring chassis design; front camera

No memory expansion; no Flash support in Windows Phone; nothing especially inspiring on offer

The Samsung Omnia W is Samsung’s second Windows Phone based smartphone, and is more affordable than the 4-inch screened Omnia 7. It also has a faster processor than that other handset, with the addition of a front camera. With these elements in mind,...

Samsung Omnia W Windows Phone

The Samsung Omnia W is no world beater, but it offers a far better user experience than most mid-range Android handsets at similar price points.

Compact size ; Slick performance ; Reasonable price

Only 8GB of storage ; No memory card slot ; Average battery life

The Samsung Omnia W is not going to attract the iPhone and Android masses and doesn't really offer anything new. However, this is a very good mid-range smartphone at a relatively competitive price. Slick performance, an excellent user experience and a...

Samsung Omnia W Preview

Samsung Omnia W is part of the second batch of Windows Phones that are about to hit the market in time for the holidays, and judging by the “W” in the title, it is supposed to fit in the midrange spectrum of Samsung's WP portfolio.

Samsung Omnia W: Review

It's not one of Nokia's flashy new Lumias, it doesn't run the latest version of Android and it's not an iPhone. But it is a high-end smartphone launched only recently on Australia's top mobile network, Next G. Can Samsung's low-profile, Windows Phone...

Review: Samsung Omnia W

Windows Phone is being called as the OS of the future and a number of handset manufacturers have started tilting towards the new platform. Samsung had already committed to Microsoft and had launched the Omnia 7 long back. Now there's an upgrade,...

I know I am jumping on the conclusion a bit too quick, but to be honest there isn’t actually much to a Windows Phone handset. I am not saying that it’s boring or anything, but it needs a bit more. Maybe more apps, a bit more functionality, etc. And...
