hey everyone it's jeff Farina with pocket now calm when we first receive the samsung continuum from Verizon Wireless we were very excited to get it unboxed in that unboxing video we just took a quick look at what to expect when you first put the device up as well as a brief overview of the hardware well now it's time to go into depth and go into more detail in our heart overview of the Samsung continuum let's get started and we're back with the Samsung continuum now we've mentioned that this is actually a very unique device and in this video we're going to start to tell you why and we'll continue that in our software overview video and the reason for that it actually has a secondary ticker screen down here now we're going to bring the device closer so you can actually see the reflection hopefully this is able to see you seen on camera we have the main screen here as you can see which is the Super AMOLED screen that we're going to have a black trim so it's actually a separation here then followed by the ticker so you're going to have your Android capacitive buttons here and then you'll have your ticker screen down here at the bottom now the top main screen is a 3.4 inch screen it's once again a super amoled screen that has a resolution of 480 x 800 so it's a relatively high resolution screen and the bottom screen is also going to be super amoled however it's much smaller at one point eight inches with a resolution of 480 x 96 now before we turn the screen on and actually give you a quick look we're actually going to go ahead and take a look at the rest of the device first as you'll see you're going to have these Samsung as well as the verizon wireless branding and if you turn the device over you're going to see the new Galaxy S logo signifying to you this is actually a galaxy s device now let's go ahead and start on the right side with our quick hardware tour on the right side we're going to have the camera button as you'll see here we're also going to have the micro SD card slot now in this slot itself you'll actually have a card pre-installed and that's going to be an 8 gigabyte card however this is capable of handling up to 32 gigs one great little tip but that's typically looked over is that a vise also has some internal storage on its own measuring at around two gigabytes now after we've install many of our applications as well as the initial boot up we are seeing about 1.6 2 gigabytes to be exact so if you round down to 1.5 gig plus the 8 for the memory card you of course have the 9.5 but if you do out of 32 you actually can increase to 33.5 gigabytes if you so desire moving to the top of the device next you're going to see the power and lock and unlock button as well as your 3.5 millimeter headphone jack next on the left side we're going to have the volume rocker up and down as well as that nicely placed micro USB port a lot of the Samsung devices have had that port on the top it seems that this one now is on the side and personally we hope that this stays that way the top kind of makes things somewhat difficult with some situations whether it be a car dock or a home doc whatever this will actually open up the possibility for a home dock which will actually go over in our software overview and then last on the bottom you're going to have the actual microphone port place on the right side which is somewhat tough to see now on the back of the device you're going to see the 5 megapixel autofocus and camera with LED flash as well as your speaker port or your speaker grill down here as well as i hear there's actually going to be too so you're going to have the stereo speaker sound coming out of this device if we go ahead and pop the battery cover off you'll be greeted to the 1,500 milliamp hour battery which is becoming typical in samsung fashion at least on the Galaxy S line of devices Samsung is estimating it to provide around seven hours of talktime and about 300 12 hours of standby time we'll see how that performs in our testing at the heart of the continuum is a 1 gigahertz hummingbird processor Samsung's hummingbird line of processors is very highly regarded currently in the smartphone especially the android market now lastly before we get to showing you those two different screens for connectivity you're going to have wireless 802 11 BG and n as well as Bluetooth 3.0 now to the moment you've all been waiting for let's go ahead and turn on the screen now as you'll see here going to have two different screens the main 3.4 inch as well as the sum our ticker at the bottom I should go ahead and unlock this real quick this is going to be a brief look because we're actually going to cover this more and our software overview of this device now as you'll see different notifications will actually pop up down here while you'll have your typical main Android feed and enjoyed display up at the top now if you want to see us go into more depth with this with this ticker make sure you stay tuned for our next video which will be the software overview as always thank you very much for watching everyone and please give this video a thumbs up we'll see you soon
