The luxury phone arena has been expanding, with the latest being the touch
screen models. Jumping into the race is Samsung F480 TouchWiz, with its
fantastic looks and great features. With its 5.0 megapixel camera and multimedia
services, it calls for all the answers to consumer needs, in a single phone. The
camera influx with an ‘Auto Smile Mode’ is the perfect answer for a digital
camera meted into a phone. Its innovative ‘Drag n Drop’ feature allows the
widgets to be selected from the left panel of the screen and dropped anywhere on
the home screen. The mobile phone also accompanies a full touch navigation
feature, which makes it user friendly.
Design
The sleek and stylish Samsung F480 TouchWiz, with its advanced functionality, is
the perfect answer for people who vouch for touch screen phones. The mobilephone
is extremely user friendly and light weight. The dimensions of the phone are
98.4 x 55 x 11.6 mm and it weighs a meager 100.6 gm. The cell phone is presently
available only in black color. Samsung F480 faces tough competition from its own
brand phones only. While Samsung’s existing portfolio has quite similar i780 and
i710, the Giorgio Armani P520 and Soul are also there to compete with this
newest entrant.
Features
Samsung Touch Screen F480 comes with many advanced features. The mobile phone
functions on GSM 900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 2100 bands. It is equipped with 240MB
of internal memory, which can be expanded up to 8GB, via the micro SD memory
card slot. In addition to the touch screen, it also encompasses with itself a
5.0 digital camera, with the ‘Auto Smile Mode’. The phone is also equipped with
face detection, image stabilizer, auto focus, CMOS video lens and Wide Dynamic
Range (WDR) - features found in the more advanced digital cameras of today.
Samsung Touch Screen F480 comes equipped with a 2.8 TFT LCD (240×320) display
screen and leather cover, to exude style and luxury. This ultra slim phone also
features a ‘Drag n Drop’ feature, which allows the user to select widgets from
the left panel that includes applications like clock, calendar, alarms, Music
Player, FM, Games and Profiles. The colorful widget adds a dash of color to the
already existing phone, giving it a vibrant look at the screen. All in all, the
cell phone seems promising, in terms of looks as well as features.
