Toshiba TG01

tg01The Toshiba TG01 is a stab at the smartphone market which is currently being dominated by the likes of Apple, HTC and Nokia. The G01 is an amazing device in that it has a specifications sheet that might give you a heart attack! A 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a massive 4.1 inch screen (the next best screen in the market being 3.8 inches) and a super slim waistline of 9.9 mm (something to rival even the ultra slim smartphone, the iPhone 3GS) is sure to leave your gaping and wishing that the phone would pop up in your hands this instant!
The Toshiba TG01 has a 3.2 megapixel camera which doesn’t really have any features to boast about. It is a pity, considering how much effort they put into the rest of the phone. A variety of resolutions, autofocus and a timer are present to make it a fairly decent camera, but it lags a fair distance behind the similar pixelised camera of the iPhone 3GS. The absence of a flash as well as the lack of a night mode setting means that taking pictures in low light can be taken out of the equation.
The Toshiba TG01 is fairly good when considering video playback. This is because the massive 4.1 inch screen means that it is a great thing to watch movies on the phone while you are on the go. However, there always seemed to be a glare appearing on the screen from our coffee mug, but a small change of angle fixed it.
Being the first to have made a phone on the Snapdragon processor, Toshiba has gotten a lot of plaudits for the phone. The massive screen, super slim waistline and a top processor make it a serious contender for the title of best smartphone ever. The phone has been released in June earlier this year.
