Samsung Flight is a simple touch QWERTY with hidden social powers
AT&T’s simpler new touchscreen, full QWERTY slider offers a surprising range of social and fun features at a low price. Will this phone take off? Find out in our hands-on look at the Samsung Flight
The Samsung Flight on AT&T steps in where the Samsung Propel might have left off, but it’s available for less cash at launch and comes with upgraded features in almost every way. It’s a step down from the almost-smartphone aspirations of a more feature-rich phone like the Samsung Mythic, but the hardware is mostly solid and the Samsung Flight can be likeable in surprising ways, especially in terms of Web browsing and social networking.
In terms of features, the Samsung Flight might be a step up from the last generation of vertically-sliding QWERTY phones, but it’s still decidedly low-end. The camera around back is a 2-megapixel shooter that’s supposed to have auto focus, but we didn’t find it. The touchscreen display is also a novelty on a device in this form.
