T-Mobile Google G2X Review

Best phone for Android T-Mobile, Android and smartphones the best of America, the G2X with Google T-Mobile ($ 199), obtained by keeping things simple. While T-Mobile Android phone insignia others still have their advantages, G2X smooth, fast, elegant and offers the best experience of all, earning him the choice of our editors. It also makes the cut from the list of our most Android phones.

Physical and voice calls

In this case, are quite indistinguishable from mobile black tiles, 5 oz G2X measures 0.4 inches by 4.9 by 2.5 (HWD). Seems solid in hand, a soft plastic on the rear panel with the useless silver metallic strip running its length. Front is dominated by bright, crisp 4-inch, 800-by-400 screen. In the era of 960-by-540 screens, screen resolution, this is not huge. But during testing, do not miss the extra pixels, for example, Motorola Atrix ($ 199, 4 stars). A little 'odd resolution (400 pixels wide as the 480) does not seem to cause compatibility problems in Access, either. The screen is treated with a little 'bent Gorilla glass, and it seems that an unusually bright and rich.

High-quality sound from your phone, G2X is not perfect, but that's okay. Headset is loud and clear, although there is no in-ear feedback, your own voice to avoid "cell yell." I felt a mixture of background noise in transmissions, but not much, I could not even hear my voice at one end of a recorded call. Speakerphone is loud enough. The phone is on my Jawbone Bluetooth headset was aliphatic ($ 129, 4.5 stars) easy dialing.

The handset connects to T-Mobile's 2G and 3G networks and 3G networks abroad. T-Mobile calls this phone "4G", but it is a misnomer, since G2X using HSPA + 14.4, a fast but executives own T-Mobile said in other contexts is not 4G. With App Ookla speed test, I was able to get high speeds on the G2X, but not as fast as we have seen on 4G Galaxy S ($ 199, 4 stars), which is actually a combination 4G . But however, the peak 5.6Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps in place not to be despised, and feel very fast. The phone can also be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot, the service plan.

There is a potential problem, though. Although G2X was about the same time the RF reception than the Samsung 4G Galaxy S, sometimes dramatically decreased 2G 4G in my tests, some others have also observed. It remains to be seen whether this is a problem of network or device. The battery life is on par with most other smartphones of its kind, 6 hours, 35 minutes of talk time and some everyday.

OS and applications

The G2X works "stock Android", to be updated more quickly than other varieties of Android. But that does not seem the case here. Instead of running the final Android 2.3, the G2X is running version 2.2 and more popular, with an update promised for the near future. The average consumer does not have, however, I do not see much difference between 2.2 and 2.3 convincing. The interface is smooth and clean of customization, user invitation. This variety of Android is more suitable for expert users of HTC, for example, which is preloaded with useful widgets for beginners.

Nvidia Tegra 2 processors with excellent performance. Size G2X also Atrix Motorola, which uses the same chip, except for a higher profit Neocore graphics / gaming benchmarks. But G2X feels quicker around, probably because the performance is dragged down to its software in more, and a wave of Atrix. The menus and icons, in particular, to pass very quickly with this phone.

I was particularly impressed with the ability to G2X things as quickly as possible. (Surprise! This is a dual core.) During the test, I downloaded a large file, at the same time to check my e-mail, for example. And above all, never dropped and never hiccups G2X a week or so on. This is a big step down from the more ambitious, but a little 'buggy devices, such as the Motorola Atrix.

LG, T-Mobile, Nvidia and add some useful applications. NVIDIA Tegra is the area, the company store app mini spots that high quality games. It's a great idea, but the committee is very thin right now. LG brings smart hare, which is a DLNA client for streaming, with the Zinio Reader Magazine. T-Mobile offers Wi-Fi calls. But basically, there is very little bloatware here. As an Android phone, also running G2X 125 000 requests in addition to the Android Market. I downloaded several, and had no problem with any of them.

Media and conclusions

Media playback is a great thing here, and G2X is one of the best phones ever media. Killer feature phone, with two Tegra chipset is mirrored HDMI. Everything you see on the phone screen, including the copy-protected content and Internet streams that can be pumped to an HDTV.

The experience begins a little 'difficult, with some cropping, and the phone in vertical format, a menu screen in landscape format on your TV screen. But when you download a part of the landscape-formatted content (movies, television, or streaming, or game), it looks great.

The videos play very well on the phone itself and in any format that had protected and resolutions up to 1080p (although reduced to the phone screen, of course.) Music, also in all the typical formats, sounds good to through wired or Bluetooth headphones. There 5.4GB of memory to store your media files with microSD card slot on the back, which worked well with our SanDisk 32GB card.

G2X is a 8 megapixel camera with video recording in 1080. In practice, the video recording is much better with 720p resolution. I found a 1080p video to be a bit 'of shots while playing a MacBook Pro and a video was missing the first few seconds. Video Recorder 720p, however, was impeccable. Since none of the other phone in the United States at the time, even trying to record at 1080p, I will pass this G2X.

Still pictures are decent, but the camera is a little slow to focus at an average of 0.9 seconds. If there is a dedicated button, you will need to clarify the application of the camera to your home page. In low light tend to be very noisy and grainy and blurred, as the phone is pumping up its near-ISO to prevent blur caused by low shutter speed. If I have to choose between the noise and blur, I'll take the noise. There is also a 1.3 megapixel camera on the front of the G2X will be pretty useless until someone writes the video chat software functional Android.

G2X will receive a powerful new touchscreen Android T-Mobile. There, the Samsung 4G Galaxy S 4G faster modem. Not the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G ($ 199, 4.5 stars), which is heard Sense HTC user interface more friendly and less cold than the net stock black, Android is G2X. You also have the HTC HD7 ($ 99, 3.5 stars), the Windows Mobile operating system is more accessible than Android, but there are many fewer applications, and a slower Internet connection. It has threatened to leave the wings this summer, is a feeling giant HTC, which features a fast 1.2GHz dual-core and a larger, higher resolution screen.

However, T-Mobile is the best airline G2X full touch smartphone has to offer right now. It feels much faster and smoother than 4G Galaxy S, as a little slower modem is offset by the beefier processor. It is also faster and looks and feels more expensive than 4G myTouch. Sensation and HTC will not be out for several months. So for now, give G2X thin and fast with the best experience you can find Android.
