everyone I'm Jessica's all course we met and welcome to my living room this was actually my CNET living room and I'm about to give you a first look at this new phone it's the Samsung Galaxy attain 4G it is on MetroPCS 4G LTE network MetroPCS was the first for LTE but since then it sort of been slow to release the phones so this is one of two new Android phones it is Android 2.3 Gingerbread no word about Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades yet now I personally like the way that this phone looks it's silvery all around it feels thick but it really isn't it's good in the hand good on the air so I'm very satisfied with the way that it looks I also like something that Samsung did it added four physical navigation buttons below the screen and this is something that most of the manufacturers aren't really doing anymore they're using the touch sensitive navigation but I think that these buttons are well-constructed and they were really comfortable and easy for me to use so I like that another thing that Samsung added that you don't see a lot these days except on a Windows Phone is this dedicated camera button so if you press and hold on that it will definitely trigger the camera app and I always like that the phone has a 3.5 inch H VGA display pretty bright and colorful but it's definitely not the largest site you'll see it's the same screen size as the iPhone so if you don't think that that's too small then you should be pretty happy with this one now I know you really want to know about is the camera and how good the camera is well there are two of them there's the 3.2 megapixel camera on the back and that's got autofocus and flash and then there's also a 1.3 megapixel on the front which is good for video chats and self-portraits now this camera on the back I was actually pretty impressed with the outdoor shots although the weather in San Francisco has been kind of crummy lately so the lighting was very even there weren't a lot of shadows not a lot of bright lights but I have to say that the pictures were really good for a 3.2 megapixel camera the indoor shots however I thought kind of grayed everything out so I would definitely reach for a different camera if you're mostly taking indoor shots beneath the back cover there is a micro SD card slot and it takes up to 32 gigabytes of memory but it comes pre-installed with two gigabytes as for the apps this phone comes pre-loaded with many there are all the google apps and services plus Samsung has a bunch of apps on here MetroPCS does too now there is LTE on here and I would say that if you're in an area that's strong for MetroPCS LTE is strong then you're definitely going to find faster speeds one problem with the network is that there really isn't a lot of 3G so you're gonna fall back to 2.5 G which is going to be much slower but if you're a long time metro pcs customer then the phone will definitely feel fast now the phone is going to be available later in January it's not available quite yet it will cost $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate so I'm Jessica's all-court for CNN and this is the Samsung Galaxy attain 4G for MetroPCS you can check out the full review and all other reviews at Cena
