Touch phones have always been a speciality of Samsung, with the technology giant being one the world's leading manufacturers of communication devices. Following is a brief description of some of the leading models from this Korean multinational.
The Galaxy S is definitely the crown jewel of the Samsung product line up, with the 4 inch SUPER AMOLED screen being just one of the features that sets it apart from any other handset. One can enjoy videos, photographs and movies unlike any other phone with the vivid display that works perfectly even in bright sunlight. Coming to the hardware configuration, it is power packed with a 1GHz processor, the kind of technology that until a couple of years back was available only on desktop computers. Quite literally, it's like having a mobile computer that allows one to do a multitude of things at once without having any impact on the speed. The hard drive capacity, with the assistance of Micro SD cards, is up to 16 GB, enough to store all kinds of content. Another brilliant addition to the Galaxy is the Google Maps Navigation Application, which allows a person to search for directions easily anywhere in the world, with three views - real street view, traffic view and satellite view, to reach the destination faster.
Another stunning handset is the B7610, with a host of features at par with the Galaxy. To begin with, it has a sliding keyboard along with the touch screen, to facilitate faster typing, and in some cases, browsing. There is separate work and life modes to give the user a different feel altogether according to his/her convenience, with home screens and contacts organised separately. The 3D user interface allows for easy browsing through photos, videos and web pages, with the composer menu short-cut allowing for quick access to emails, memos and calendars. Coming to the screen, the B7610 has a 3.5 inch AMOLED display for fantastic viewing experience, again like the Galaxy. The phone also has push email with IBM Lotus Notes Traveler and Microsoft Exchange support. The phone also has Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint for viewing and editing documents, along with the Opera 9.5 internet browser which gives super fast access to the web world with HSDPA 3.6Mbps and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The Samsung Corby Pro, one of the most popular handsets in the Indian markets today, is first of all a great buy because of its hybrid design with a combination of a touch screen and QWERTY keypad, like the B7610. The 7.11inch QVGA screen has a display capacity of 16 million colors, and thus, shows brilliant quality images. The Core Widgets give a one click access to native applications that allow the user to connect to the world via Facebook and MySpace. And when it comes to enjoying music, the Corby Pro does a pretty decent job with 120 MB internal memory and expandable memory capacity up to 16 GB.
All this, and many more fantastic handset models await users willing to go for the ultimate in mobile experience with Samsung.
