SAMSUNG LATEST
FULL-TOUCH MOBILE PHONES
HIT SINGAPORE
SINGAPORE, JULY 13 2009 –
Following the
showcase of its robust range of touch mobile phones for every lifestyle at last
month’s CommunicAsia, Samsung will introduce in Singapore two highly-anticipated
full-touch highlights – the Omnia II
this weekend followed by the i8910
HD two weekends later.
While both boast
the world’s largest 3.7-inch AMOLED screen, each brings a unique flavour to
Samsung’s full-touch mobile phone proposition – the i8910 HD is the first Symbian
full-touch handset featuring high quality HD video recording while the Omnia II offers a highly customisable
user interface with 3D effects, providing touch-optimised usability to make
multi-tasking convenient for smartphone users.
Packed with
outstanding multimedia applications, Samsung’s latest full-touch phones bring
the power of multimedia and business performance to
consumers.
“Samsung’s latest
addition to our full-touch mobile phone portfolio enables us to meet the needs
of a growing consumer market that embraces the convergence of the best in
business and multimedia functionality into one device, reinforcing Samsung’s aim
to deliver innovative full touchscreen mobile devices for every lifestyle,”
said
Mr.
Moon Sung-Hyun, Managing Director of Samsung Asia.
Samsung i8910 HD: Play Director
First unveiled at
Mobile World Congress as the first Symbian full-touch handset to be released by
Samsung Electronics, the Samsung i8910
HD provides seamless integration of style, multimedia and business
performance into one mobile phone. The sleek full touchscreen device features a
3.7-inch 16:9 AMOLED screen which offers crystal clear images and unrivalled
sharpness in tones through its 16M colour QHD display. Users can now enjoy
cinema-scale quality HD content via DLNA technology and share real-time live
video through their phone.
Equipped with
24fps@HD (1280 x 720p) video recording and video editing functions, users can
view and edit videos in high definition while capturing quality photos with
their 8 megapixel camera.
Omnia II – Work and play. Upsized
Building on the
success of the Omnia, the Samsung Omnia
II provides smartphone users with an excellent array of applications to
enhance their multimedia experience.
Like the i8910
HD, the Omnia II provides unbeatable
screen clarity through its 3.7-inch AMOLED display which has an advanced R-type
touch screen, enabling a faster, more accurate response for a user-friendly
touch experience. Equipped with a 5-megapixel camera and DVD-like (480p) video
recording and playback, users can shoot and edit their digital images by
utilising the in-suite video editing application.
With the
high-powered HSUPA 5.76Mbps, HSDPA 7.2Mbps and Wi-Fi capabilities, users of the
Omnia II will experience smooth internet browsing and quick content download
on-the-go. With ability to store up to 8GB and 32GB of internal and external
memory respectively, users will have unlimited access to their favourite videos
and web content.
The Samsung Omnia
II is available from this weekend at a recommended retail price of S$898 without
contract. It will also be updateable to Windows Mobile® 6.5.
