Dell Streak Overview

Calling the Dell Streak an "Android Phone" is entering a grey area - with a massive 5-inch screen the device is practically a tablet but it hauls cellular connectivity that make "phone" a perfectly acceptable categorization. By all accounts the Streak LOOKS like a fabulous piece of multimedia hardware, but because of its size, potential buyers should first think about if it fits their lifestyle/needs.

Some more specs on the Dell Streak include the Capacitive 5-inch display  with multi-touch support, made with Gorilla Glass, a tough and resistant screen as featured on the Motorola Droid. It has a rear 5 MP camera with Dual LED flash and a front VGA camera meaning you can video call!

Dell Streak Reviews

Dell Streak Review
With even a 7-inch screen (which is rumored, by the way), the Streak would warrant a solid 7.
Dell Streak review
In our humble opinion, it's most certainly a smartphone. A large and sexy smartphone that still fits in a pocket.
Dell Streak review: Sizzle or fizzle?
If you really want an Android device with a big screen that feels like a small tablet, I’d recommend the 4.3-inch HTC EVO 4G over the Dell Streak.
Dell Streak
The Dell Streak is the first Android tablet worth taking seriously, though its size puts it on the fence between tablets and smartphones.
