Fring Updates Its Android App, Improves Call Quality and Adds Galaxy S Support
While I was mulling over the Samsung Galaxy S, reviewing its features and beefy hardware, one aspect I was never able to explore was video calling via the front-facing camera found on the international version of the phone. Not knowing anyone else with a Galaxy S I turned to fring in attempts to set up video calls to friends with the EVO 4G and iPhone 4. No dice. Only the rear camera was working properly. I am happy now to report that fring has updated their Android app bringing support for the front-facing camera on the Galaxy S along with overall improved call quality.
Call audio is now clearer and easier on the ears, and if you have used fring before and noticed an echo, that problem is solved as well. The rest of the update is dedicated to bug fixes and general enhancements to provide a much more pleasant user experience all around. While most OEMs continue to push out devices with proprietary video calling that will not work across platforms (an iPhone can’t FaceTime an EVO 4G), fring throws any allegiances out the window. They don’t care who you want to video call, and the app works pretty well for just that. So if you are into seeing the people you are talking to (not me, personally) and haven’t checked out fring this latest update should be reason enough to give it a spin.
