Template:Infobox mobile phone The Samsung Infuse 4G, introduced by Samsung in May of 2011, is an Android-based smartphone featuring a Hummingbird processor clocked at 1.2 GHz. It comes equipped with internal Flash storage options ranging from 8 to 16 GB and boasts a capacitive Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen measuring 4.5 inches with a resolution of 480×800 pixels. The device includes an eight-megapixel rear camera along with a front-facing camera of 1.3 megapixels.[1][2]

As the third handset launched under the AT&T HSDPA+ lineup in that year, the Samsung Infuse 4G successfully completed FCC certification in early March of 2011.[3] Subsequently, Samsung announced at their New York event on May fifth that the smartphone would be commercially available starting May fifteenth.[4] In line with the growing Android ecosystem during that period, Samsung partnered with Rovio Entertainment to offer an exclusive edition of the popular game Angry Birds specifically for the Infuse model.

United States

The Samsung Infuse 4G was launched in the U.S. market on May 15, 2011.

AT&T

A variant of the Samsung Infuse supporting UMTS frequencies 850/1900/2100 MHz became available on May 15, 2011. These UMTS bands are utilized by AT&T in the United States and Rogers in Canada. This particular model was initially SIM locked but can be unlocked through third-party unlocking tools.

Rogers

An enhanced version of the Samsung Infuse 4G was introduced for the Canadian market. It shipped with Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and featured 720p video recording capabilities. The release date was July 26, 2011, with pricing set at $0.01 on contract or $549 without a contract.

China Telecom

In China, the Samsung Infuse 4G was marketed as the Samsung Galaxy S Duos (model SCH-I919), exclusively for China Telecom's network. This edition includes dual physical SIM slots and supports both CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and GSM/EDGE technologies.

Hardware

The Samsung Infuse is equipped with the Hummingbird system-on-chip (S5PC110 or Exynos 3110), built using a 45 nm manufacturing process. It incorporates a 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU alongside a PowerVR SGX540 GPU. The device contains 512 MB of RAM and offers 16 GB of internal storage.

The display is a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus panel with a resolution of 480x800 pixels (WVGA) and supports multi-touch capacitive input. Unlike many other Samsung phones featuring AMOLED screens, the Infuse 4G utilizes a traditional RGB pixel arrangement instead of the PenTile matrix. Samsung claims this RGB configuration enhances contrast levels and improves visibility under direct sunlight.

For photography, the phone includes an 8.0-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and a single LED flash, along with a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera that supports digital zoom. The rear shooter can record video at 720p resolution at 30 frames per second.

The device supports full HD (1080p) video playback, equipped with hardware decoding for H.263, H.264, and MPEG-4 formats. Audio compatibility includes MP3, AAC+, AMR, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, MIDI, FLAC, and WMA files. Connectivity features include a Micro-B USB port compliant with the GSMA Universal Charging Solution standard; HDMI output is accessible via an adapter connected to this port. Additionally, a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack is located on the top edge of the phone, providing audio control functionality.

Storage options consist of an internal 16 GB NAND Flash memory chip complemented by an expandable microSD card slot supporting cards up to 32 GB in capacity. The package includes a pre-installed 2 GB microSD card.

Cellular

The Samsung Infuse 4G is available in three distinct variants. The initial release was the AT&T Infuse, which is tied to a SIM lock. Following that, there is a version designed for the Canadian Rogers network, and a third model tailored for China Telecom. Unlocking the Infuse can be accomplished within minutes using third-party software. It is compatible with most H+ GSM and 3G carriers across the United States, Europe, and Asia. The device supports GSM frequencies of 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz, and 2100 MHz. It operates on UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, 2G (Edge), 3G, and enhanced 3G (often referred to as pseudo 4G) via HSDPA Category 14, enabling speeds up to 21.1 Mbps. This model marks the third HSDPA+ handset offered by AT&T, following the Motorola Atrix and HTC Inspire 4G, and notably is the first to support the full 21 Mbps capacity of AT&T’s limited fiber backhaul network. The phone also features quad-band frequency support.

Software

At launch on September 27, 2011, the Infuse came equipped with Android 2.2 Froyo[5][6][7][8], enhanced by Samsung’s proprietary TouchWiz 3.0 user interface and an updated Home Screen Launcher.

Pre-installed Samsung applications include a customized edition of Angry Birds, along with Allshare, MediaHub, Memo, Mini Diary, My Files, Quick Office, and Write and Go.

On AT&T devices, certain preloaded applications—commonly referred to as Bloatware—cannot be removed in stock form. These include AT&T Navigator, AT&T Code Scanner, AT&T Family Map, My AT&T, Live TV, and YPmobile.

Google’s suite of software bundled with the device comprises Android Market, Gmail, Google Talk, Google Latitude, Facebook integration, Email client, and YouTube.

Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread update

Customers who acquired Android phones released in 2011—including the Samsung Infuse 4G—were eligible for an upgrade to Android version 2.3.x ("Gingerbread").[9]

On September 14, 2011, AT&T distributed a maintenance update of approximately 14.5 MB which Samsung stated improved the phone’s auto-brightness feature, introduced warnings during Download Mode, and enhanced both GPS accuracy and call quality. Additionally, Google Books was incorporated.[10] This update carried firmware version 2.2.1 with Baseband I997UCKH1 and Kernel version 2.6.32.9 (Build FROYO.UCKH1).

Samsung released Kies Mini for the Infuse on January 18, 2012; it was made available via the official downloads page on Samsung’s website.[11]

On February 1, 2012, AT&T announced that the Android Gingerbread update (version 2.3.6) was ready for deployment on this device and provided a detailed changelog.[12] Installation required connecting the phone to a Windows PC running Samsung Kies Mini software; support for Apple computers or over-the-air updates was not available at that time. Although the update became accessible on Kies Mini starting February 3, many users encountered issues downloading it during the initial days.[13] Subsequently, Samsung provided an updated version of Kies Mini that resolved these problems.[14]

Legal dispute

  • Samsung and Apple have initiated over 30 legal actions against one another across ten different nations. The court in San Jose, California declined Apple's petition to halt the sales of Samsung's Infuse 4G and Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices.
