CES 2008: Samsung Shows Off Loaded Mobiles

At CES 2008 Samsung’s booth features 3 of their heavy hitting mobile phones that vary in range from, music to business to simply innovative designs.

SGH- i450

The Samsung SGH-i450 may very well be an N95 wannabe with a slide out keypad and a secondary slide out keypad from the top, but in no way is it the same. This phone uses a type of touch sensitive scroll wheel system to navigate the music player and menus. It runs on a Symbian S60 OS and supports Bluetooth (with A2DP) and external memory up to 4Gb with microSD cards. It’s also equipped with a 2 megapixel camera and is 3G enabled with a secondary video call camera in front. What really makes this music phone  stand out is the ICEpower amplifier developed by Bang & Olufsen.

SGH - G800

Samsung already has the G-600 with a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera so you’d wonder what’s next and the answer is – The G800, which could very well be the world's first 5 megapixel auto-focus camera phone with 3x optical zoom and a Xenon flash. Of course the fact that it’s a slim slider goes without saying. It’s also equipped with the usual features like Bluetooth (with A2DP), 3G with HSDPA, large 2.4 inch display etc. But it’s the camera with face detection; professional video editing functions and a mobile blogging feature that makes this mobile something to look out for.

SGH-i620

The Samsung SGH-i620 is a Windows Mobile device running on Windows Mobile 6.0. It has a slide out QWERTY keypad but unfortunately the screen size may not be too agreeable with everyone at just 2.2 inches. Nevertheless the device also offers other options like a 2 megapixel camera, an RSS reader and Podcasting. It also supports Bluetooth with A2DP.

SGH-i780

Another Windows mobile device that will be featured is the SGH-i780 that has a 2.5 inch touch screen as well as a full QWERTY keypad. This handset also runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 and comes equipped with GPS, 3G with HSDPA, a 2 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth with A2DP capabilities and Push email. It also has a TV out option and supports external memory with microSD cards like the others in this display. It also has an optical mouse for navigation.
