The average Android smart phone comes with a basic touch screen interface. In fact, that is all that a user needs to properly navigate the user interface. Occasionally, there are some devices that come equipped with physical keyboards; phones such as the Motorola Milestone and the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro. But this time, there is a new form factor that will be using the Google Android operating system: a Samsung handset using the BlackBerry form factor.
Sure, we can all refer to it as a portrait keyboard with a wide display, but everyone knows that these types of mobile phones bear an uncanny resemblance to the famous smart phones made by RIM. Anyway, one can only think that Samsung is planning to delve into the mobile business market with this new form factor that they are trying out.
Right now, there are no official or even leaked images of the Galaxy Q, so at best, we can all just imagine a Samsung Galaxy S with a cut down touch screen display and a four row keyboard on the face of the device. It should work, but most regular users will still opt for the more familiar Galaxy S smart phone.
It seems that with their successful run in the past few quarters, Samsung now has the freedom to let loose and experiment with new designs for smart phones. Surprisingly, they chose the Android OS to be running on this device instead of the proprietary Bada OS.
The Galaxy Q’s release date is still unconfirmed for now, but considering the device’s specifications, it should be released sometime before the end of this year. The device is also said to be running the new Samsung Hummingbird 1GHz processor, the success of the Q will show the power of Samsung’s latest CPU.
The Samsung Galaxy S i9000 has been on the market just recently, but is generating quite a lot of positive reviews from mobile phone fans and critics alike. It comes as no surprise as this latest offering from Samsung is their most technologically advanced mobile phone ever.
Cellular and internet access channels
Communication-wise, the phone provides the best in both network and internet connectivity. It has both class 12 EDGE and GPRS which provide access to cellular networks as well as 3G for fast internet connection where available. The phone also provides Wi-Fi support in hotspots for fast and free internet access. Wireline and wireless connectivity is provided by microUSB and Bluetooth, respectively, to exchange data with other compatible devices. Many Samsung Galaxy S deals have inclusive data allowances so you should be online in no time.
Android at the phone’s core
The Samsung Galaxy S has a fast and efficient ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor beneath its hood with the popular Android 2.1 operating system (Éclair) on top. The device comes in 8 GB and 16 GB models which can be upgraded up to 32 GB by way of a MicroSD card slot if more storage space is required.
The Samsung Galaxy S i9000 handset boasts an extra-large 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with a capability to display 16 million colours at 480×800 pixels screen resolution. Further screen enhancement is provided by the phone’s TouchWiz 3.0 user interface which provides multiple home screens that are easy to navigate and highly-responsive to finger gestures.
Upload photos to social networking sites
The Samsung Galaxy S ships with a 5 megapixel digital camera which displays 2592 x 1944 pixels image resolution. The snapper features autofocus, smile and face detection, touch focus and geo-tagging functions. You can take professional-looking photos and upload it right away to your social networking sites as the phone provides superb integration to the popular social networks. The camera can also record video with 720p quality at 30 fps.
Apple may have had a vision for the tablet industry when they came out with the Apple iPad. After all, with most of their profit coming from the iPhone, there was no doubt that they intended that the tablet device would co-exist with the smart phone. However, as cool as it may be to have a pocket based device handling your calls and very mobile needs and a dedicated large display tablet for media access, the concept still goes beyond the trend of consolidation.
Just as smart phones have merged together GPS, beepers, Pocket PCs and mobile phones into a single handset, a new generation of touch screen tablets is going to change the need for the mobile phone. As opposed to having the smart phone co-exist with a tablet, the two will have separate areas of use: tablets for the home and mobile phones when you are on the go. As for taking calls when at home, that will be a function that tablets will also deliver.
Apple’s iPad may not support that idea, but upcoming Android tablets seem to be on track. Samsung’s Galaxy Tape is already bringing plenty of features that surpass the iPad in almost every single way –and having phone calls is just one factor. The tablet is set to have a faster processor and will be using the super AMOLED touch screen –which makes the 7 inch screen better than Apple’s 9.7 inch vanilla display.
At the same time, smart phones are also going along with the larger touch screen display option as well. Dell’s Streak (which is also known as the Dell Mini 5) and Sony Ericsson’s upcoming 5.5 inch display smart phones are just two examples. We can expect to see more devices with large touch screens appearing on the market soon.
If you are looking for a great mobile phone that you can actually brag about you need to get the Samsung Wave mobile phone. This phone has many features that other phones do not offer and you can get it for a great price with one of the many Samsung Wave deals on the market. Here are just a few of the features that make the Samsung Wave mobile phone a thing to have over the summer.
The first thing that we have to mention is that is a sleek stylish model that offers you a bright touchscreen that has some of the clearest resolution that you could ever see on mobile phone. The technology used in the screen itself will not be found in any other phone for at least a year. This puts the Samsung Wave mobile phone ahead of the rest of the mobile phone companies in Great Britain.
Some of the other features that you can get on this phone are the different applications that you can download directly to your phone. There are many applications that you can purchase just by going to a certain web site that is supported by the Samsung Wave mobile phone. Many of these applications are cheap or can be added on to your plan. Either way, you will still be able to get the applications you want to wreck the downloaded to your phone when you want them to.
Another thing that the Samsung Wave mobile phone offers is some of the best pictures and the quality of resolution that you can record video in. This phone offers you the ability to record video in the high definition. You also have a choice to choose from when you get this mobile phone such as the different widgets, contacts, and web pages that you can access right from your phone.
Samsung are well known for their intuitive mobile phone designs. Creating affordable and good quality mobile phones is one of Samsung’s main commitments, and Samsung’s latest release really shows their attention to detail as well as their goal to use all the latest technology to enhance the user experience.
The Samsung Shark is the latest release from Samsung. Unlike its counterparts, Shark 2 and Shark 3, the Samsung shark is a bar phone, rather than the slide phone. This gives it an appeal to those people who are anti slide phones. The Shark has been designed with multimedia and connectivity in mind, with many applications designed to help keep you in touch with people around the globe. The phone features one click access to social networking sites, such as Bebo, Facebook and MySpace. This means you can access your favorite sites in the click of a button.
Using a 2.2 inch screen, you can view websites and photographs with ease, and you can even watch movies when embarking on long journeys. Complete with a 3.2inch megapixel camera, the phone is capable of snapping up your most memorable events, whether it be a sporting event, a music event or your child’s school play. Whatever the occasion the camera will capture it, then allow you to transfer it to your computer or laptop for editing and distribution.
When you are on the move, the built in FM radio will keep you company! Allowing you to tune into all your favorite stations, simply plug in the headphones and you have real time radio whilst on the go. Connectivity wise, the phone uses the latest Bluetooth technology to enable you to connect with others. However the blue tooth system has been updated to provide you with added protection against hacks and malicious software taking advantage of your phone. Using 3G technology you can connect to the internet with apparent ease, and with record page loading times you will never be kept waiting again.
The phone has 100MB of internal memory, enough for about 300 songs, or 2 or 3 full length movies! You can purchase additional memory cards for the phone, as the phone has a memory card port. The battery is one of the only downfalls with this phone, as you get only 3 hours talktime on a full charge. That being said however the phone looks to be a great success, and people are already asking when it will be released along with the price and the contract options.
The Samsung Lindy M5650 has already been released in Portugal and Spain. It is scheduled to be available soon in other parts of the world, particularly outside of North and South America. The Lindy M5650 is a higher quality phone then its predecessors, the Corby series. Samsung has added some features to this phone that didn’t exist in the aforementioned.
The Lindy is a touch screen handset that is extremely lightweight and stylish. It comes with a 2.8 QVGA display screen, 3 megapixel camera and a video recorder. The phone is also equipped with a FM radio, Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi and microSD. The latter makes it possible for additional memory to be added when and if needed. The 3.5 G handset is light in weight, coming in just shy of 98g.
Users will be able to browse the internet and send and read email. They will also be able to connect to some of the most popular social networking websites including Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and YouTube.
From appearances, the Lindy M5650 looks to be aimed at younger users. The interface looks a bit cartoonish and not serious like many other mobiles. The M5650 has been released in Portugal and Europe and wider spread distribution soon. In Spain and Portugal the phone is selling for under €200 (€159 to be exact).
The Samsung Lindy is an attractive phone that is reasonably priced at 159 euros. It is a nice phone that provides a satisfactory amount of features. It would be considered a mid-level phone and includes many standard multi-media mobile phones features such as a camera, video recorder, Bluetooth, FM radio and a microSD slot. The latter allows individuals to add more memory. Overall, the 3.5 G handset looks to be a good buy. It is not too expensive and should satisfy the needs of a good percentage of those in the market for a handset.
Samsung is making sure that divas will be able to dial glamorously and luxuriously in 2010. Okay, that may have been a bit of an overstatement and a little on the dramatic side. The straight truth is, Samsung recently announced its plan to roll out a brand new mobile phone design line called the Diva, sometime during the first part of 2010. Both phones in the Diva design line, there are two of them (Samsung S7070 and Samsung S5150), should be in retail stores sometime during the first quarter. Though the phones have been in the works obviously for awhile, Samsung has been a bit secretive.
The less feature-rich phone of the two Diva mobile phones is the Samsung S5150 Diva. This clamshell, flip phone has a raised and embossed quilt pattern design. This is largely what sets it apart externally from other phones aimed at the female buyers. Most others rely on color to be decidedly female. Samsung goes one step further and adds some texture. Besides the feminine look and feel of the phone, the S5150, codename Olivia, has a few features that will likely cater to the female buyer. Some the most notable are the ‘lomo effect’ and ‘fake call.’
The ‘lomo effect’ is a feature that allows users to edit their photos and add effects to them. This feature will likely appeal to young girls who enjoy taking pictures and adding cute little things to them. The fake call feature is what most women wish they would have had access to at least one time in their life. The phone will emulate a real call, giving the user a chance to make an excuse and cut out, if needed. This can come in handy during a bad date or a situation that is quickly going from bad to worse.
It is very often that good quality, cheap and affordable mobile phones come along, and when they do, they prove to be a great success with high sell out figures. A few years ago mobile phones companies started messing around with music on phones. What was born from it? The iPhone and the BeatDJ. Whilst neither of these phones are bad, the price can be a big turn off and can stop many people from being willing to purchase one. Nokia seemed to see this coming and so began production of the M2310 and the M2710 phones, specifically designed for music whilst keeping the price tag low. Although no official price has been given for either of these fantastic phones, they are expected to be a fraction of the price you would pay for an iPhone or BeatDJ.
The M2710 features GPRS technology instead of 3G technology. At first this may seem a big disappointment but when you think about how cheap the phone is, plus the location where the phones are first due to be released in Brazil where 3G technology is not like it is in America and Europe, you can understand why it is GPRS. It still allows you to connect to email server and the internet, and the Bluetooth connectivity will mean you can send files to your friends and family. The phone also comes with a tracking device, which means that if your phone happens to be stolen or lost, the phone company can trace it to where it is, saving you time and money.
The M2310 phone features everything as above and incorporates a built in FM radio, to keep you busy when you are out on the go. For more details on either of these phones you will have to wait for an official report on both which could be from 1 month to a year.
Samsung’s newest additions to it’s phone family are the S5150 Olivia, and the S7070 smart phone. Both of these phones are geared to be used by Fashion Divas and have girl written all over them, (they don’t actually!) Both phones are scheduled to be released in January 2010, and will both be available on pay as you go and contract plans to tailor peoples individual needs.
Both phones have great cameras, the S7070 Diva has a 3 megapixel one, while the S5150 contains a high tech 5 megapixel camera. Both of the phones feature new software which allows you to automatically touch up your photos on screen, and turn then into professional looking snaps!
Whilst the amount of memory of each of the phones could be better, some of the applications easily make up for it. Both phones are capable of very fast internet speed, especially for connecting to facebook, myspace and twitter. They also both come with free internet messaging, so you can keep in touch with your friends and family wherever you are.
Not only are both of the phones internally kitted out to be the best, the phones look great on the outside as well. The S7070 contains a diamond shaped button on the front of the phone which controls the menu features, and looks great. The back is also made from a soft quilt, which protects the phone as well as making it feel great to hold in your hand.
The S5150 contains lights that light up when you receive new alerts, which can be set by you. This can include a new text message, a new email or a new instant message etc.
Both phones are very girly, and will make any “wanna be diva” really look the part.
Full touch screen and eco-friendly; that is how you describe the new touch phone marketed by Samsung captioned “Blue Earth”. The first completely environment friendly touch phone was show cased by the company in the Mobile World Congress held in 2009 at Barcelona. In addition to its environment friendly nature, the Blue Earth has been lauded for sleek designs and it’s highly advanced multimedia features.
The new phone has completely revolutionized the concept of eco-friendly touch phone. It is no more the low energy consuming phone of the past with limited features. Containing the most advanced multimedia features coupled with stylish designs it has the combined abilities of eco-friendliness and low energy consumption. Despite being commercial products, it is the representation of the commitment of Samsung in protecting the environment against threats that tend to disturb the ecological balance around. In its pursuit the company also provides for a program of activities for the customers.
According to Mr J. K Shin, the Executive Vice President as well as the Mobile Communication Division Head of Samsung announced the launching of the new product and its innovative eco-friendly nature. The device is free from al harmful substance like the Brominated Flame Retardants and polyvinyl Chloride and Phthalate.
Unique user face marks the attention for preservation of the fragile environment. Eco mode screen brightness added with back light duration as well as energy efficient modes are all available with one click alone. While the eco walk function allows the users to count the steps with built in pedometers and reduction of CO2 emission, it clones the difference between waking and its effect on environment as opposed to use of motorized vehicles. Since the packaging is made of easy-recycling papers and are printed in soy ink, they also suggest a simple DIY idea for reusing them as photo frames or pencil boxes.
