According to a recent article by Vlad Bobleanta over at unwiredview.com, the Rogers handset has been given the long winded name of the Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G. It looks as though it’s the same handset that AT&T sells in the US, meaning that it comes with a 1.2GHz processor under its hood.

For those that may need reminding, the Infuse 4G’s specs include a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touch screen display with Gorilla Glass and a resolution of 480 x 800, 16GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, GPS and a 1750mAh battery.

The handset comes with a 1.3-meapixel front-facing camera for video calls and an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and 720 video capture round the back. The AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G smartphone runs the Android 2.2 Froyo OS, so we’re not sure whether the Canadian version will run the same.

AT&Ts latest Android addition seems to have the main three areas pinned down, large screen, powerful processor and a thinner body. To us it seems a shame that Samsung has worked so hard on these main areas, only to fall at the last hurdle. We already know that it has an 8-megapixel camera, but history tells us that it does not mean a thing. What you need is a good lens and the software to back it up.

IntoMobile has spent some time with the Infuse 4G and for the most part the camera performs very well, which you can clearly see from their test images. The colors look very good and seem to be able to cope with varying light conditions. It is not until you get to the software where you get to see that Samsung could have made a few improvements.

One of the main issues is how long it takes from activating the shutter until the photo being taken, the issue here is that you will not be able to take that all-important “Kodak Moment”. If you never take photos like this, then there is no issue here. However, how many times have you seen something funny or amazing and just wanted to take that spur-of-the-moment picture?

Do you think the camera delay is an issue for the Samsung Infuse 4G?

If you head over to ChipChick you can see their fully detailed review for yourself, in our article we will summarize some of the main points raised.

Let’s start with its design and display, the Infuse 4G measures in at 5.2” x 2.8” x .35”, its large size is mainly due to its huge 4.5-inch display and ChipChick say that some people just won’t be able to get along with its huge dimensions, despite its size it weighs just 4.9oz and feels surprisingly solid considering it is 8.9mm thick. The material used is not perfect and tends to get greasy, therefore it may slip out of your hand if you are not careful.

As for the display we already mentioned its large size, now we can also tell you that it features a resolution of 480 x 800, perhaps Samsung could have pushed the boat out and improved on this, however it still produces rich, sharp, bright visuals with vivid colors and deep blacks.

In terms of software there are no real surprises, the large display allows Android 2.2′s on-screen keyboard to be easy to use (even if you have fat fingers), however it is a bit disappointing that it does not ship with Gingerbread. As you would expect the OS is masked by Samsung‘s TouchWiz UI.

Call quality and web surfing performance was great, because of its size you have to hold the handset in the correct position to ensure that your mouth and ear line-up to the mic and speaker respectively, as for web browsing you almost get a tablet-like experience due to its massive display and the 4G connectivity helps in this aspect to.

The Infuse 4G has a great 8 megapixel camera on the rear which takes great stills and videos, the flash might be a little too strong, but on the whole you get vivid sharp images and videos. The handset’s 1.2GHz processor helps in this aspect, in fact on the whole it performs well whilst still delivering a full day of moderate use from a single charge.

The Infuse 4G HSUPA-enabled smartphone also comes with 16GB internal memory, an 8-megapixel camera that is capable of recording 720 HD video and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for making video calls. The phone also comes with a special edition of Angry Birds pre-installed.
