Samsung Star or Tocco Lite
I am beginning to believe that Samsung is going to make it big, in fact it already has. I mean just look at it, their annual sales, the mobile phones, LCDs, Air conditioners, laptops and what not. In my part of the world people normally believe that Nokia was, is and will be the mobile phone maker. I seriously doubt it. Samsung is doing it all at a much lower price. Now that every phone maker is out to make a touchscreen phones, Samsung has flooded the market with more models than Versace could throw at the annual Fashion show in his heydays.
Features and Physical layout.
Samsung Star has it all, looks, touchscreen, camera, storage space, style and a reduced price tag. It’s a quad band GSM phone, weighing just 93 grams. The dimensions are impressively thin 105 x 53 x 11.9 mm. The screen size is an impressive 3 inches. The resolution stands at 240 x 400 pixels. Display is 256 k TFT resistive Touch Screen. The face is adorned with three buttons at the bottom for connecting a call, ending it and for going one step back in the menu. The left side has the sound rocker buttons and the much needed PC Sync, hands-free and charger bay all bundled in to one. The right side houses a camera button and the Hold key. The rear houses a 3.2 MP camera lens with a top resolution of 2048 x 1536. There is no Flash, repeat no Flash. Darn! Video capture is at 15 fps.
Internal memory is 50 MB with options for Micro SD up to 16 GB! Connectivity includes class 12 EDGE and Blue-tooth.
Applications. The phone comes bundled with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI Interface. The screen is responsive and applications are opened in a jiffy. The home screen is spread over four pages or screens and the various icons can be adjusted on each one. The extraordinary feature is presence of widgets to gain access to the much needed websites like Facebook, Picaca and MySpace etc.
Text entry is via the usual onscreen numeric pad, the onscreen keyboard or even by writing on the screen as it supports handwriting recognition. Voice quality is impressive and connectivity is good. The phone has all the usual applications like Organizer, voice recorder, stopwatch, Browser, documents viewer, image editor etc.
Performance. Picture quality is quite good as is bound to be in any 3.2 MP camera. However, a need for Flash is direly felt. The camera supports smile detection features. Voice quality and connectivity is also impressive. The looks are also impressive. The accelerometer makes it possible to use the phone in landscape or portrait view. With the smart unlock feature users can unlock there phone by simply writing the desired letter on the screen instead of pressing two buttons in rapid succession.
This phone is not meant for business people, rather it is for the teens, young and party goers. The absence of WLAN, 3G and Flash conveniently take sit out of that category. But then at the price tag at which it is coming this is what you get.
