Samsung Attain 4G Hands-on and Impressions [CES 2012]
We had a great opportunity to check out the Samsung Attain 4G here at CES, a new smartphone for MetroPCS with support for their 4G LTE network. The device, as expected, sits on the mid-range section of the spectrum though it’s a pretty solid device. It’s a 4 inch Super AMOLED device with a 1GHz single-core processor that runs Android 2.3 with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI.
-The hardware itself was pretty solid and in line with what you’d expect from most Samsung devices. The plastic is a bit much but it looks good and is sleek and thin. There are hardware buttons for home, menu, back and search, something I think needs to come back to modern day devices.
The internals were enough to run Android + TouchWiz well enough but at the end of the day there is nothing here that we haven’t already seen. Metro has a few of their preinstalled applications but it’s not overdone like you might see on some other carriers’ devices. Take a look at our hands-on time with the device in the video above.
