The smaller display looks puzzling perhaps against Android’s march towards bigger and bigger screens – for which Samsung are in no small part responsible.
Omnia W by GSM Arena (Dec, 2011)
While anything more than gentle panning will cause a bit of blur, the video, even when displayed on a large screen, still looked pretty decent.

screen resolution

Overall it does produce good results with good colors and nice detail with low noise.
Omnia W by GSM Arena (Dec, 2011)
On the front is the 3.7-inch (WVGA, 800x480-pixel resolution) LCD screen, which is smaller and not as sharp as the full-HD or even qHD displays boasted by higher-end Android devices.

Frankly, I wasn't expecting much from the phone's 5-megapixel camera, but was pleasantly surprised by the shots I snapped.
