Toshiba TG01 Review
Movistar and NTT DoCoMo recently have agreed to the exclusive global launch of this phone that many are beginning to consider as an iPhone killer. A kind of terminator phone of the future come with special features and others not so. The Toshiba TG01 will be on sale this month of June at a price of between zero and 200 euros depending on the pricing plan that we welcome with Telefónica.
Among the best of this terminal has its huge touchscreen (4.1 “) and some advanced features, among the worst, limited battery, a camera to ridiculous levels, and Windows non-standard headphone connection. If a smartphone or not, that will have to decide what each. We put the data here.
Let us start with the first thing is obvious, the size. The Toshiba is a mobile big, maybe too much for some. Much of the blame goes to the screen, an impressive TFT touch reactive (which vibrates when you press this button) of 4.1 inches and reaches a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. Here we find perhaps the first failure. The screen is not multitáctil, like the iPhone. In other words, no gestures made with multiple fingers simultaneously.
1GHz
The second aspect of quality is the processor. The TG01 Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset incorporates a 1 Ghz. The power of this processor makes the phone almost nearly in the same league as the NETBOOK with Intel Atom processor, and certainly light years away from the iPhone and other high-end mobile tactile.
To view movies on TV
If we add the power of this processor, the screen and the wide compatibility of video files to DivX with up to 720p resolution, we find a phone that can connect to a TV to watch movies. The processor is supported by 256 MB RAM and 512 internal storage (very little) that can be extended up to 32 GB MicroSD card (thank goodness). If we compare it with the new flagship of the leader (Nokia), ie with the Nokia N97, the latter exhibits less processor, but rather that the memory Toshiba.
OS interface
Although it was rumored their possible affiliation to the club phone operating system Android, the TG01 Toshiba has become a Windows Mobile 6.1 masked by the corresponding 3D interface created by Toshiba for the occasion. What good is Windows Mobile, which is full compatibility with the PC is left with the many difficulties and failures that have this operating system interface, a problem could be solved in part when the user update the software to Windows Mobile 6.5. In any case, the TG01 is able to open and manipulate Office documents and is compatible with Flash content, the detail in which they fail most of the mobile and appreciate that when it comes to surfing the Internet.
Connections
Speaking of internet connections from the phone include HSDPA / HSUPA, WiFi 802.11 b / g and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP for wireless audio equipment. The entire collection of links, in short, to access the internet as if such a thing through the plans to connect the mobile network or Wi-Fi near you.
House and extras
In that tradition that have mobile phones as the iPhone fetish to integrate a camera in bad quality, TG01 only incorporates a 3.2 megapixel camera (2048 × 1536) capable of recording video yes but without a lens worth stress. Not that it’s a camera disastrous, but if you aspire to become a flagship mobile expecting something better. Among other extras, the terminal incorporates accelerometer, Shake control system to activate certain functions shaking the mobile A-GPS. No trace of FM radio, although with a permanent Internet connection, Who needs it?. Lo que ya es peor es que no incluya una conexión universal Jack de 3,5 mm para los auriculares.
Battery
The phone battery is one that holds 1000 mAh, depending on the manufacturer, 5 hours talk and 276 pending. Be seen whether these figures correspond to reality. Especially considering that consume the huge screen. Lights and shadows, in short, lacking a terminal but also has strong points and stylish, this last element that is often which is all the difference in these cases.
Can be improved
The camera is an absurdly low for its mobile features and price. On the other hand, perhaps the Windows Mobile operating system has not been the right decision if they wanted the phone was accepted by the general public. To complete the connection of headphones is not standard. Three characteristics you off the podium of the winners in the race to be a star among the best mobile 2009
