Samsung Droid Charge - Verizon Wireless (Review)
04.07.11

The Samsung Droid Charge is the second Verizon Wireless smart phone with 4G LTE connectivity — the HTC Thunderbolt was first. While this device is not a part of the Galaxy S II family, there is a lot it still has to offer with a large 4.3 inch Super AMOLED display, a front-facing camera for video calls, HD video capture with another 8 megapixel camera, and a built-in 4G mobile hotspot. This device might appear to some as a Samsung rush job with a better handset on its way, but Verizon Wireless customers considering an Android smart phone should not dismiss the Droid Charge without a closer look.

Those searching for a compact device should probably turn elsewhere. The Droid Charge stands a little more than 5 inches tall, is 2.66 inches wide, and about 0.46 inches thick — it weights 5.04 ounces. Surprisingly, this phone is actually much slimmer and about an ounce lighter than both the HTC Thunderbolt and the LG Revolution . When it comes to build quality, Samsung uses plenty of plastic which explains the lightweight design. While the Droid Charge is by no means flimsy, it does lack a premium feel which other device have. The back side of the phone has a glossy gray finish with as subtle underlying pattern and a shiny silver finish surrounds the sides of the phone for contrast.
