Samsung Adds Soul to Ultra Mobile Range

09 Feb, 2008, 1:36 pm IST | by Shayne Rana | Mobile phones

Samsung’s new handset – the Soul, or Spirit Of Ultra – is the latest addition to its Ultra Series. This 3G, HSDPA-enabled, quadband slider is just 12.9mm thick and has a stylish metallic finish. It’s equipped with Magical Touch by DaCP, which is a unique navigation panel under the 2.2 inch QVGA, 16 million color screen.

Magical Touch navigation is essentially a miniature display panel that adapts in sync with the function you’ve selected. The icons change according to the function. For instance, if you have a video playing on the screen, the icons would depict functions like Rewind, Forward, Play and Pause, using the universal symbols for the same.

Other features include a 5 megapixel camera with face detection, image stabilizer and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), Bluetooth with A2DP profile, integrated FM radio and a nifty music player that incorporates Bang & Olfusen’s ICEpower digital power amplification technology.

The GUI has undergone a bit of an upgrade in terms of look and feel, and now comes with themes that are more customizable. External memory is supported via microSD cards.

There’s no word on the official price yet, but the Soul should be available in Europe from April. Let’s hope it doesn’t take too long to show up in our part of the world.
