It’s time for the 5 megapixel autofocus camera; let’s see what it can do! Even if it’s not as good as G600, but it still makes pretty good pictures – if lighting conditions are ideal. The first cloud might disturb the software and photos get noisy pretty easily, but at least they remain rich in details. The box has a large label showing that there is a “Power LED” on the phone, as a replacement of a flash, and this turns out to be true. If the subject of the photo is too close, then there is so much “power”, that the picture will be completely overexposed, but if we’d like to target further than three meters, than the whole thing disperses without a trace. The camera is to be used in landscape mode, exposure is exceptionally fast. The menu we can access is on top of the screen, and has the usual settings like ISO level, environmental theme, picture quality, self timer and picture stabilizer.
Video recording is available at a “rocking” 15 fps at 320 x 240 pixels resolution. This will just about do, but we have seen better than this, the camera in U900 would be capable of more. There is the eternal question of how fast does the phone display the photos growing up to 2 MB in size. The answer: acceptable. It’s no flash, but just until you reach the last file in the list, the index picture is displayed. I won’t say anything else; let’s see the loads of test pictures:

In terms of music U900 doesn’t perform as well as I’ve expected. On one hand the speaker over the front cover is really weak, even more if there is bass in the music. No wonder there are only squeaking noises in the list of included ringtones. Still, the phone can ring and vibrate at the same time; the time might be close when this will be a characteristic of most new Samsung devices. The problem is that the volume is too low even if we’re just making a simple phone call; deciphering the sentences is harder than usual in a noisy environment.
Unfortunately the included headset cannot be taken apart, so we have to obtain a separate converter if we’re not content with the medium quality of the basic headset. Still, we might need it for the built-in, RDS-enabled radio. This one has quite a simple interface, but it wouldn’t need anything better, but the MP3 player has some nice graphics and finally there is an animated real-time spectrum analyzer, but we can also see the album art. There is no equalizer, but we can rate and rank the tracks with stars, if someone has a passion for it. The player can run in the background, and then in the bottom row of the standby screen we can see the current situation and the OLED touchpad turns into the surface needed to control the music player.
