Samsung Infuse 4G on AT&T just sounded too big. Ridiculously big. Some 4.5 inches big. If you don’t count the Dell Streak as a smartphone (and we don’t, really), it’s the biggest damn Android device that’s intended to be occasionally used upside your head to make phone calls.
But we’ll clue you in on a little secret: It’s not too big. No, really. We’ve spent the last week or so with the Infuse and have found ourselves thoroughly surprised by just how usable a 4-and-a-half-inch phone can be.
That’s not to say the Infuse is without its quirks. But we put it through its paces the best way we know how — in the field, on the road, and in our hands at the Google IO developer conference.
So how’d it hold up? Read on for our complete review.
There’s no denying it, the Infuse 4G is big. But it’s also thin. And that makes all the difference here. Put it next to, say, the 4.3-inch HTC ThunderBolt, and the differences are pretty apparent. The Infuse is a tall 5.2 inches, and it’s wide at 2.8 inches, but it’s a mere 0.35 inches thick. And that’s the ball game, folks. That and it weighs 4.9 ounces. It’s tall, but it’s thin and light. It’s wiry.
