Product Description of Samsung Conquer 4G Android Phone (Sprint)
Experience ultra-fast 4G connectivity and the latest Android operating system without breaking the bank with the affordable Samsung Conquer from Sprint. Powered by a 1 GHz processor and the Android 2.3 OS (aka, "Gingerbread"), it also features Sprint ID--an intuitive way of customizing Android content. The sharp, beautiful 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen is perfect for playing 3D games and watching movies.
It runs on Sprint's expanding 4G network, offering simultaneous voice and data connectivity and download speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Additionally, the phone can still connect to 3G data services in areas not currently served by Sprint's 4G network (learn more about Sprint's 4G network below).
The phone also includes Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking plus Mobile Hotspot capability for sharing your 3G/4G connection with up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices simultaneously. The Conquer offers dual cameras--a 3.2-megapixel camera on the rear for capturing photos and video clips and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for on-the-go video chats over 4G and Wi-Fi connections. Upload, share, and store pictures with Photobucket, Facebook, MySpace and upload videos to YouTube.
Other features include a 2 GB microSD memory card (with expansion up to 32 GB via optional cards), Bluetooth for hands-free devices and stereo music streaming, GPS for navigation via built-in Google Maps and location-based services, access to personal and corporate e-mail, and up to 6 hours of talk time (see full specifications below).
A new onscreen keyboard makes it easier to type thanks to additional spacing between the keys and larger font sizes. And the more you use the keyboard, the easier typing will be as the enhanced suggest feature records previous input history to make better suggestions. And like the previous version of Android ("Froyo"), Gingerbread provides support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for access to the full Web.
The Conquer also brings one-touch access to the popular Google mobile services you use every day, including Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps with Navigation, Google Calendar, Picasa, and YouTube. It also provides easy access to both personal and corporate e-mail, calendars, and contacts supported by Exchange Server and Gmail. And through Android Market, you'll get access to thousands of useful applications, widgets, and fun games to download and install on your phone, with many more apps being added every day.

Just like the Evo, but in a smaller hand-friendly packageBy Dave
While I loved my original HTC EVO 4G, I found that it was a tad too big for my pockets and to fit in my hand comfortably. Unfortunately, when the time came to replace the EVO, I discovered that all the new high-end spec'd smartphones had become HUGE. If I wanted a tablet, I'd buy one, but I don't. So, in my search to find an Android the size of an iPhone, I came across very few options. The Samsung Conquer, I found, is the same speed as the EVO, with the same amount of memory. After a few days of use, I find the Conquer to be a bit faster than the EVO, in fact. Here are a few pros and cons.
Pros
+ Perfect size
+ Hardly any pre-installed bloat (450MB of 512MB internal memory available upon first use, compared to ~300MB on the EVO, which had tons of crap pre-installed)
+ Good performance, almost identical to the EVO, which means it is responsive with no lag
+ Boots up VERY quick
+ Excellent build quality - the back side is a textured, almost rubberized-feeling plastic that provides great grip
+ Physical camera button
+ C H E A P !!!
Cons (pretty much echo what the expert reviews out there say)
- Screen resolution a bit too low. Colors are still great and the brightness is excellent, but you can definitely see some pixelation on smaller icons.
- Camera is only 3.2MP. This was not a huge issue for me, since I use a better digital cam for any pics that matter. And actually, I've found that if you tinker with the settings, this phone takes quite nice photos. The physical camera button has a half-press to focus feature, which adds to stability when taking shots.
The only other thing I'll mention, that is not a + or -, but just an observation, I had grown to like the HTC Sense interface. The Conquer's interface is stock Android, so a couple features I had come to love are missing (calculator widget, calendar/agenda widget, & a "restart" option for the phone). I found some calculator and calendar widgets in the market, but they lack the polish of Sense.
This is a great little phone. I really hope the manufacturers and carriers realize that not everyone wants a 4.5" screen in order to get top-of-the-line specs otherwise. I hate to say it, but the iPhone is the perfect package. If it weren't Apple, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Entry level Android never performed this well before!By Brendan A. MacWade
If you are not a game player, and just need a solid slab Android phone with zippy performance, accurate GPS and cell tower location reporting, and plenty of app storage space (not games), then the Samsung Conquer is an ideal phone.
Start with the processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8655. Just a year ago, users were exited to be the first to try it out. It's the same processor that powers the HTC Evo and Thunderbolt. Now, it is entry level, as all flagship phones run on dual core processors.
But regardless what processor a phone has inside, what matters is how it performs running multiple apps and services. The Conquer can handle it all. It doesn't have to run a graphics-intensive HD Super AMOLED screen, so it focuses on what's running in the background, and stays connected to the network. I am impressed with how much more accurate my location is in Google Maps/Latitude compared to a Sprint CDMA 3G phone. With Sprint's 4G network, my location as seen by others is more accurate. I am no longer being shown as being in a river or harbor.
Call quality is top notch. Headphone audio quality is also excellent. Put in a 32GB microSD card, and you might want to use this phone as your primary MP3/AAC music player. You'll have to charge it at your workplace if you do so.
The screen is plastic, but it is capacitive. That means it responds perfectly to your touch. Scrolling is smooth and accurate. You won't miss a glass screen, so long as you keep this phone in a pouch or bag pocket when not in use. Keep away from coins and keys, of course.
Sprint and Samsung worked together on a very smart feature - 4G auto sleep. If you're not downloading an app or web page, or uploading a photo to Google+ or Facebook, the phone switches off the 4G radio. This saves battery life and helps the phone get through a busy day on the road before it needs to be recharged. Expect to charge the phone every day or night.
With 512MB of internal app storage, the Conquer can download pretty much any non-game app you need, including the memory hungry Google+ app. Camera resolution is very good, but the camera optics could have been closer to its high end Samsung siblings. Having said that, it isn't bad at all. It's about as good as the camera in the LG Optimus S (which might be the same 3.5MP device from a Korean supplier). Try the camera using the FX Camera app on the maximum size setting (960 x 640), and you can produce some impressive color or black & white photos for Google+ or Facebook.
As the former owner of an LG Optimus S, the Samsung Conquer is a definite step up. Twice the internal app storage. Almost twice the processor speed. A brighter, slightly larger display. A faster Sprint network. And it's thinner and lighter. This is one zippy and underrated phone.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, thin, front facing camera, wimax ip network
Cons: camera could have better optics
