After I got kicked off the Samsung stand yesterday I decided not to let it rest. I went back and as luck would have it, I got to talk to the Samsung press officer who kindly let me take some more pictures and a short video of the Q1 Ultra for release today. I also got chatting to one of the developers and got some nice info and good hands on.
Ill have a better video and more images later today but here are the notes that I made.
- It looks great. Good finish. Same plastics as the Q1.
- Keyboard is very small. Tiny in fact. I have small fingers and was having a lot of trouble. The feedback is nicer than that on the Pepper Pad but the spacing is way too small. Not impressed but will give it another go.
- Screen is bright 300 nits apparently. One of the brightest I’ve seen.
- It runs Aero Glass!
- Touch screen is light-touch
- Battery is 7.7vx4000mah. (4 cell, slightly bigger capacity than that on the Q1.) 6 cell will also be available. The developer wouldn’t tell me the run-time.
- Audio was reasonable through the stereo speakers.
- Weight under 800 grams
- There is no synaptics style mouse pointer. What looks like the mouse pointer on the left is a sliding cursor button which is probably 8-directional and has no tap-to-click action. Disappointing. Is changeable between cursor and directional pad.
- Dedicated dial-keys button.
- VGA and Ethernet ports.
- Dual Cam (0.3, 1.3 MP)
