With a silver rim, sides, and backing to offset the glossy black face, the Galaxy Attain 4G is a pretty good-looking phone. It comes in at some fairly typical standards, at about 4.5 inches tall by 2.6 inches wide by 0.4 inch thick, but unless you're obsessed with thinness, its dimensions won't get in your way. I was able to slip it into the back pocket of my favorite jeans, and hold it comfortably to my ear. It weighs in at about 4.5 ounces.
The Samsung Galaxy Attain 4G has a 3.5-inch display and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
Speaking of screen size, the Galaxy Attain 4G has a 3.5-inch LCD touch display with an HVGA display (that's 320x480 pixels, if you're counting.) It looks bright and colorful thanks to the darker background and brighter icons, but will fade in direct sunlight.
As with the vast majority of handsets announced at CES this January, the Galaxy Attain 4G features Android 2.3 Gingerbread as its operating system. Samsung's TouchWiz interface rides on top, offering Samsung's familiar take on Android. There's the one-touch access to system settings from the pull-down menu, for instance, the overview screen you get by pinching any of the seven customizable home screens, and the look and feel of the app tray.
Below the display, Samsung has added four physical buttons to assist with navigation--they map to the usual Menu, Home, Back, and Search functions. Most handsets opt for the touch-sensitive route instead, but I must admit that I like the responsiveness and feel of these backlit buttons.
Like so many smartphones these days, I'm glad to see that the Galaxy Attain 4G has two cameras, a 3.2-megapixel rear-facing lens and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera that's situated above the display. There's a physical camera button on the right spine, which I really like. Press and hold it to wake the camera app.
As for the rest of the externals, there's a Micro-USB charging port on the bottom, the volume rocker on the left spine, and a 3.5 millimeter headset jack on top. Next to that is the power button, which is about the same size and shape. Beneath the silvery, dimpled back cover is access to the microSD card slot. It'll take up to 32GB in external memory, but the phone starts you off with 2GB already inserted.
Features
An Android phone, the Galaxy Attain 4G has the standard set of tricks, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and voice search. There's an almost-unlimited address book and social networking integration, along with communication staples like e-mail, text and multimedia messaging, and speakerphone. There's also access to Google's vast web of online services, including Google Music and YouTube.
