The Samsung i890 Omnia HD boasts a huge and beautiful AMOLED touch screen and features an 8-megapixel camera with HD video recording and playback. The TouchWiz interface is seriously improved, and the smartphone also offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. While the absence of 3G and dear ticket will keep it out of the hands of the masses, the Samsung i890 Omnia HD is a powerful multimedia smartphone that rivals the other high-end touch-screen devices.

Given the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD’s extra-large display, it is unsurprising the smartphone is on the bulkier side.

Not only does the display look gorgeous, but it is also functional. There is an inbuilt accelerometer so the screen orientation will immediately switch from portrait to landscape mode when you rotate the phone. In the meantime , a proximity sensor locks the touch screen when you are on a phone call to forestall any random presses as you hold the handset up to your ear. Both are responsive and in contrast to some handsets, the accelerometer works in all apps.

As with the 1st Omnia, the i890 Omnia HD uses Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface, which can let you customise your Home screen with different widgets. There’s a tray found on the left side with numerous applications , for example your calendar, music player, Facebook, and clock, where you can then drag and drop these widgets to the main screen so they are simply accessible to you from the home page. Once you have customised the phone to your tastes, you can collapse and hide the tray by drumming the arrow button.
