Samsung Jet S8000. We like. We like a lot.

We like phones that aren’t pretentious. We like phones that don’t pretend to be more than what they are. And we like phones that feel well-designed from top to bottom and from inside to you.

Three simple things, but three things that very, very rarely get a tick from us in relation to one phone. The Samsung Jet S8000, however, gets a nice big red check against each one of these.

Not pretentious? Nope, this is a mid-range phone, not pretending to be anything else. But that’s not to say it’s lazy, either. A good example is the camera. Fair enough, it’s only 5 megapixels. But with those five megapixels you get Autofocus, a Dual LED Flash, auto Face Detection, Smile Shot, Panorama option, Blink Detection, Geo-tagging and a nice simple Photo Editor. Then add to that the video capturing at 720×480 with 30fps, and also the slow motion video capture (QVGA resolution) and suddenly your nodding your head, impressed with what Samsung have achieved with the Samsung Jet.

Doesn’t pretend to be more than it is? Nope, this could be nothing other than a mid-ranger. The screen, for example, is not really that big – 3.1-inches. It’s plenty big enough for all the things the phone can do, and with the AMOLED technology is as bright and clear as anything else out there, but Samsung haven’t been tempted to stick a needlessly huge screen on a crap phone to make it seem bigger and better than it is. Not only this, but the rest of the phone’s design is absolutely perfect – from the colours to the materials to the curves, it’s all fantastic.

So it’s well-designed from top-to-bottom and outside. And inside, with the newest version of TouchWiz, zipping along thanks to the 800mhz processor, all is more than dandy too.

What more can we say? Apart from watch this space very carefully indeed, to find out the launch date, as the Samsung Jet could be a phone to make you as happy as it’s made us. Read a full Samsung Jet Review here for more persuading, or have a look at the nice little video below:
