Dell Streak Hardware Overview

2010-08-08
hey guys it's jeff Rena with pocket now calm and it's time to give you the hardware overview of the dell streak android tablet alright and we're back and we're going to jump right in and kind of giving you some info of this device itself is a very unique device it is a 5-inch screen which is quite big for android it also weighs more than most phones not only because of the screen but because of the actual construction of the device itself so looking right here at the front of the device we have the three capacitive buttons if your home your menu in your back button to the top we also have the ear piece as well as a front facing camera and your light and proximity sensor and then on the back of the phone itself we have the dell logo with a 5 megapixel camera no flash unfortunate now this is all metal it is somewhat hard to tell but this will actually slide off right here this is the back piece and that is a metal panel now your speaker is actually here however the speaker is pre garbled which you'll hear in our next video and when we do a YouTube test the speaker is very very disappointing unfortunately it's a good size but it sounds almost like the people that are talking or talking underwater it may be this model maybe the speakers below maybe it's a defect however right off the bat it's easy to say the speaker is definitely lacking maybe 1530 our milliamp battery as well as your SIM card slot and we're on top of that you have a 16 gigabyte microSD card moving on to the right side of the device we have a dedicated camera button which is always nice we have your power button which will turn off the phone as well as bring it out of the lockstate and then your volume rocker up down as well as a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack top of the phone follows that very smooth finish the right side of the phone is going to be the connector to charge while the Connecticut does look very similar and strike a close resemblance to the Apple connector it is not the same now include with the device is also a sleeve that Dell wants you to use to actually protect the tablet itself however so I'm going to keep mine here is this actually has a gorilla glass screen which very unique is this is one of the first devices to fully utilize that it is one of the harder screens very difficult to break and scratch are the rumors it is certainly a heavier device with both these sides the whole back panel here as well as the back battery panel being made out of metal the device comes in weighing at around 220 grams which is pretty heavy once again the 5-inch screen does add to that factor it's also going to have a 5-inch capacitive screen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels so it's a pretty decent picture as you can see it's much better than some of the phones in the past and it's up to par with some of the current devices as far as the connectivity goes this device is capable of using both edge and hsdpa for the 3g as well as the UMTS it is going to use the GSM signals of 850 megahertz 900 megahertz 1800 and 1900 megahertz as far as the 3g compatibility goes on this device there are actually two different models based on where you're going to be buying it from the first of which is actually created for the European market with hsdpa compatibility of 920 100 megahertz the second of which will work in the US and some of the other countries which is going to be compatible with hsdpa 850 nineteen hundred and twenty one hundred so they basically give you that 850 megahertz band that 18t will use for the 3g it will come with a 16 gigabyte microSD card with 512 Meg's of ROM and RAM which will allow you to install the applications to the device itself however you can also upgrade that memory card like the standard amount to 32 gigs currently a little bit more on the connectivity front it is capable of reaching up to 7.2 megabits per second on the hsdpa side of things if of course your carrier is capable of giving you that amount of signal it also has bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi B&G signal alright and now it's time for a first we're actually going to show you a pocket test of these devices so here in my left pocket I have the HTC evo 4g as you can see here you can really not tell that's there I mean you can see a little bit here on the back end now on the right side i have the dell streak there is a limit of a portion that actually sticks out it is much bigger going up a stair as you can see here it actually gets pretty tight on the leg on the thigh area and it does kind of stick out in jab it you could definitely see that I wonder what is that in your pocket you can see here Dell Streak so it definitely is pocketable if you're gonna run a marathon I would say it probably gets uncomfortable after a while I can definitely see running into a corner and catch this on something it has that gorilla glass screen so that might help it however it does protrude a little bit overall the device is certainly pocketable however it is much bigger than what you are typically used to it is thinner than the HTC evo 4g thought of something to keep in mind all in all the dell streak so far is a very solid device we will give you an example of some of the 5 megapixel back camera pictures as well as some of the front-facing pictures in our final review over at pocketnow.com be sure to stay tuned for the next video in this series which would be the second part of the software overview will give you a little bit more in-depth look at the browser youtube and actually give you a speed comparison to the HTC evo 4g this device
