How Do You Think About Samsung Galaxy Chat

Let's imagine a phone that can play MKV movies and videos ,and powered by ICS (Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwhich), with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (3.o) functions, would you will choose it for yourself? But when you know that this is just a low-end smartphone, which screen is a 3.0 inch TFT-LCD display with 240×320 pixels resolution, and has the QWERT full keypad, how do you think about it? Actually, this is true for a low-end smartphone powered with ICS, and it is the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Chat.

Galaxy Chat is a new phone from Samsung, different from Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note LTE, which is just a low-end smartphone, not dual core or quad core processor , individual internal storage and high pixels camera. For those who have been  accustomed to use high-end smartphones, they must be can't imagine what things Galaxy Chat can do.

Actually, Galaxy Chat can play MKV movies, but for almost all smartphones so far are can't support MKV format movies and videos directly. and as the same as Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note LTE, which can also browser via Wi-Fi, and also share with others via Bluetooth. The additional interesting  features on Samsung Galaxy Chat are Samsung's ChatON communication service, which can make the online chatting become easy including single community and group chatting. And the Quick Office application can make people to view and edit multiple kinds of documents, and even allow you to work with Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel or Word. And due to the ICS, Samsung Galaxy Chat will offer people the ability to do things on all services offered by Google, like Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, Play Store, Play Books, Play Movies, Plus, Youtube, Talk and other Google applications, more exciting is you can upload videos to Youtube from Samsung Galaxy Chat , the same on Nexus 7. Although Galaxy Chat  is only own a 850MHz Application processor , 4GB internal memory and a 2MP rear camera.

So considered with the features on Galaxy Chat, we have to admit that this is a great phone on its hardware configurations, but most people online are remind people not to pay high expectation on it, as Galaxy Chat is not a good phone in reality.

However, with my opinion , I believe Galaxy Chat is great for those people who are not interested in shooting videos and photos, watching HD movies with a phone, as  Galaxy Chat runs the most poplular ICS OS and which will be cheap after all, therefore, I would like to say Galaxy Chat is an awesome product rather than a great smartphone, at least in todays mobile technology status.

So how do you think about Galaxy Chat? an additional family phone or something?

How to Play MKV Movie on Our Mobile Devices

Do iPhone 4S or the future iPhone5 , Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X and Nokia Lumia 900 play MKV movies? Many people are start to find the way to play MKV movies on their mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, and for the beginner of smartphones or tablets, they usually ask the question that does my phone( like Samsung Galaxy Note) play MKV movies as they don't know that there is not a phone or a tablet can play MKV movies or videos directly so far, usually, almost all mobile devices can play MP4(H.264) format videos and movies. So you may have got the answer of how to play MKV with our smartphones or tablets.

For Android mobile devices, we can install video player like Easy Video Player, Mobo Video Player, VPlayer on our devices, as they all can play MKV movies and videos on the Android smartphones or tablets, and more interesting is they can display the subtitles when we are playing MKV on our Android devices,  so when you know this you'll get it easy to play your favorite MKV movies or videos on your phone like Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note , Motorola RAZR , etc. tablets like Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 7.0 , etc. .

For iOS mobile devices, we have no method to transfer MKV movies and videos to the devices like New iPad, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S or the future iPhone 5 and iPad Mini if we don't jailbreak them, so there are none ways to play MKV movies and videos on iPhone and iPad with a video player on them. The only way is convert the MKV movies to MP4(H.264) or MOV movies with a video converter, and then put the converted MKV movies and videos in iTunes for syncing to iPhone and iPad, then we can play them on the devices for pleasure.

However, there's a little pity that we can only keep single subtitle when we convert MKV movies to MP4 or MOV with great video converters, and the bad thing is we'll lose subtitles when we convert the MKV movies with some free video covnerters.

For Windows mobile devices, it seems the best way of playing MKV movies and videos with Windows Phone like Lumia 800 , Lumia 900, Lumia 610 , Lumia 710 , etc. is convert MKV to AVI, WMV or MP4 , and then use Zune to sync the converted MKV movies and videos to them for watching, as there is difficult to find a good video player app which can play MKV movies for Windows Phone so far.

So in a word, the usual way of playing MKV on our mobile devices is convert MKV to MP4(H.264) and then transfer the covnerted MKV files to them , then we can watch those MKV files on mobile devices, and in fact, we can also do it as the same on BlackBerry devices and Symbian devices. And this is the best way of watching MKV movies on smartphones, tablets so far, because the MKV is still a new container for videos or movies, and there are little devices accept it directly due to it can contain multiple different video formats, audio formats and subtitles with different languages.
