Samsung amazes mobile users by introducing the world's first 10megapixel
cameraphone, and the world's first 8GB HDD smartphone.
Hanover, Germany - 9 March 2006 - Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
reinforces its technology leadership by unveiling the world's first 10
megapixel mobile phone (model: SCH-B600), and the world's first 8GB Hard
Disk embedded smartphone (model: SGH-i310) at CeBIT 2006.
Enjoy Maximum storage in Mobile
Samsung breaks the storage limit in mobile phones by introducing the
world's first mobile phone equipped with a 8GB hard disk drive (model:
SGH-i310). With the large storage of 8GB, SGH-i310 will change the way
people manage and use the mobile phone.
Samsung is the first to adopt a hard disk drive into mobile phones and has
launched three models equipped with a hard disk drive; the world's first
1.5GB HDD embedded phone (model: SPH-V5400), the world's first 3GB HDD
embedded phone (model: SCH-V7900) and the world's first 3GB HDD Music
smartphone (model: SGH-i300).
The i310 works as a perfect platform for users by combining a phone, a
digital camera, and a MP3 player with its immense storage capacity. It
enables users to carry around 2,000 songs (4MB/song) wherever they go.
The i310 comes with the latest version of Windows Mobile 5.0 for
Smartphone which allows users to view files and easily carry their music
library with them. This will sync the playlists, songs, and videos from
your PC so that your experience is identical to the user's personal
computer. It also offers USB 2.0 and Plug & Play feature which allows the
phone to be utilized as a removable hard disk. Businessmen and students
can easily transfer files to / from their computers, as well as store and
transfer files in any format conveniently.
The i310 has all the latest features including a 2 megapixel camera with
flash, microSD slot, document viewer and TV out! put. Users can record
video with the 2 megapixel camera in high quality resolution.
It also supports enhanced music function with Bluetooth(r) stereo
(A2DP), digital power amp and dual speakers. Uses can download music
conveniently from online music store from their personal computer or
directly via air.
The i310 will be introduced in Europe during the second half of this year.
Combine Mobile Entertainment with Professionalism
Samsung reached another milestone in camera phones by introducing the
world's first 10 megapixel camera phone (model:SCH-B600). Samsung
launched the world's fi! rst 5 megapixel camera phone in October 2004; the
world's first 7 megapixel camera phone in July 2005; and introduced the
world's first 8 megapixel camera phone in November 2005.
Samsung's B600 sets itself apart from its previous megapixel
cameraphones by combining the mobile TV technology with the 10 megapixel
camera.
The B600 offers the same level of picture-taking sophistication that a 10
megapixel digital camera offers and mobile TV capability in Satellite
standard.
The camera function includes 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. It also
has auto focus and a flash unit that performs optimally for 10 megapixel
photographs.
Also, the B600 comes fitted with a LED autofocus feature, the first time
ever for a cameraphone. The B600's LED autofocus feature assists users to
capture clear, crisp photos even in dark settings. Located next to the
lens, the LED autofocus automatically determines the distance and utilizes
the appropriate focus setting for optimal photo shooting.
It also has the "Anycall Band" feature, where each person using this
phone can play a specific melody of instruments and arrange it together
to create a song for downloading.
It also supports Bluetooth functions, through which users can listen to
their MP3 files, enjoy DMB and communicate with other people wirelessly
via Bluetooth headset.
The high color Reproduction TFT-LCD produces the highest possible
display for its size. The photo-fine chromarich LCD can reproduce 16
million colors, virtually any color found in nature, earning it the "True
Color" appellation. Moving pictures can be recorded in QVGA
resolution at 15-30 frames per second. Users can watch live TV in crisp
picture through Satellite DMB function.
It also supports external memory (MMCmicro) in addition to its internal
memory. The mobile phone supports a TV-out function where users can
connect their phones to view still or motion pictures.
The B600 comes with a design reminiscent of a real digital camera. T! he
front is designed as a bar-type mobile phone, while the back side is used
as the digital camera.
Other advanced functions in the B600 include an MP3 player, business card
reader, and 128 polyphonic sounds.
The B600 will be introduced in Korea during the 2nd quarter of 2006.
