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.
Korean mobile phone giant Samsung has just unraveled its latest environment-friendly mobile phone to join the growing lists of similar green handsets – the Samsung Blue Earth. We got to see its first outing at the 2009 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona early this year but somehow got buried under a slow of stunning handsets released one after another over the last few months.
A Commitment to Mother Earth
The Blue Earth may look like just another touchscreen smartphone, but it is a significant contribution to the save-the-earth movement. That’s what JK Shin, EVP and head of the Mobile Communication Division at Samsung Electronics had to say about it. He further adds that towards this ends, the Blue Earth uses “reclaimed materials, in this case plastic water bottles…free from Brominated flame retardants, PVC and phthalate. It can be charged using a set of solar panels on the reverse.”
That, in a nutshell, describes the Blue Earth’s environment friendly features. Nothing is too small for the effort.
Smartphone Features
Its eco-friendly features aside, the Samsung Blue Earth is a versatile smartphone with the features that define an upscale high performing handset. It’s a GSM handset that works on GPRS, EDGE and HSDPA data networks. It has a 3-inch touchscreen display, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash. While memory is a bit most at 180 MB, you can expand it from its microSD slot for up to 14 GB.
Software-wise, there’s a unique “Eco Mode” which automatically dims the display backlight as disengages Bluetooth when not in use. It also has this application called Eco Walk that tells you your contribution to help reduced carbon emission as well as acts like a pedometer when you walk instead of taking your car. In addition, there’s full internet browsing and an uploading facility to update all your social networking sites in a flash.
Availability
Samsung is releasing the Blue Earth first in Sweden and then the rest of Europe and Asian countries to follow. We hope to see this in time for Christmas.
Whether it is Christmas or Xmas, all we know is that it is time to celebrate and receive free goodies especially when it is less than 4 weeks away. Cue horrific stampedes for meaningless ornamental tat, expensive scented things and ghastly knitted items that do not match. This could of course be avoided and you can get free gifts that would be very useful to you and your family. The elves at Omio have decided to outlay some of the best phone gift ideas all available on Pay as you go.
Samsung Genio Touch
Samsung’s Genio Touch is out to be the season’s best seller. It is gorgeous and quite simple. It also comes in handy thanks to its wide profile, unique TouchWiz interface and highly responsive 2.8” capacitive touchscreen. It also showcases Samsung range of colourful snap-on helps to make you stand out of the crowd. It is sold preloaded with a wide range of widgets including Facebook, Twitter and even YouTube. The Price for the Genio Touch is at £62.50 at Mobile Express although it is reportedly sold at £110.
Samsung S5230 ‘Tocco’ Lite
If you prefer quality over quantity then you would definitely love the Samsung S4230 Tocco Lite. It is a little bit more formal than the Tocco. It was released earlier this year as an offspring of the Tocco family. It was initially selling for between £80 and £130 although it is now available for half of that. This Samsung device definitely brings high end features to the entry level market.
I am delighted to be able to reveal some great news for owners of Samsung S8000 Jet. There is now a new firmware update for this mobile device which brings an array of goodies for your mobile phone. Well, it’s been pretty long since it first showed up and there is a great likelihood that most peeps have missed it.
There are now lots of changes to the firmware, all thanks to the S8000XE112 update. It brings a lot of features, one of which is a different 3D Cube background. Also now included are some new widgets for popular social bookmarking sites such as Twitter, MySpace and even Facebook. The main menu icons can now also be rearranged.
According to the information received from users who have tried out this new update, they all concur that the device is now zippier. The WebKit-based Dolphin Web browser did not go untouched with this update. It has now been improved with the media browser. The thumbnails now load much faster and the scrolling speed has significantly improved.
Despite the positives, the images open a bit slower than before (It takes about two sec or more to open an image) and the volume rocker is no longer used to zoom in/zoom out but rather for scrolling through web pages.
The media player has also been revitalized as well. This new updates brings about a landscape view support to the Samsung S8000 which holds a strong resemblance to the iPhone’s Cover Flow.
As we all noticed, there is really a lot to unravel about this latest update of the Jet and many are surreptitious changes that haven’t been noticed yet. You can share your views in the comments section.
In addendum, since the update of this latest PC Studio application is still in the beta stage, You can download the working version of the S8000XE112 firmware from darkforestgroup.com
Okay, the Samsung Galaxy Lite is a truly impressive 3G smart phone. It may have watered down the camera and completely did away with the large storage capabilities of the original Galaxy, but the Lite gets to keep all the other features, including the amazing AMOLED touch screen.
The bottom line is that if you really want a great mobile phone on a budget, then this would be the prefect choice. If it was not for the announcement canceling the November launch and having the device pushed to next year; with the HTC Tattoo and T-Mobile Pulse also stepping into the range of cheap Android devices, the delays for the Galaxy Lite might prove bad for Samsung. Not everyone is willing to wait until next year just to try the Android Cupcake on an AMOLED touch screen
No Change in Specs
Galaxy is definitely delayed but no changes to its hardware have been announced. The i5700 Galaxy will hold all of the original specifications it has since it was announced. Users will enjoy its 3 inch AMOLED touch screen, 1 GB of internal memory, 3.2 mega pixel camera, among other features. The device will be running Google’s Android 1.5 Cupcake.
The original demo videos of the devices showcased excellent screen brightness and fast response. Seems like the Qualcomm 528 MHz processor makes the device run pretty smoothly, the only question is what kinds of proprietary applications Samsung will be giving this device.
More on the Android and Lite
When the Galaxy Lite news first broke out, initial reports hinted that the device would be using the TouchWiz user interface, now that it has been confirmed to be an Android phone, it has captured the attention of many Android fans. It has also been confirmed that Samsung has gotten the i5700 Galaxy Lite a Google Experience certification.
