 Samsung has announced the launch of its new F480 mobile phone. With this latest full touch screen mobile, Samsung is vying to tackle the might of Apples iPhone we thinks.
“The F480 is a significant addition to our touch screen mobile portfolio, bringing a totally new and exciting user experience. The F480 is just the first in a series of touch-screen mobiles we are launching this year, to provide our consumers with a more rewarding and engaging user interface; one that’s more fun, easier to use and more personal.” said Geesung Choi, President of Samsung’s Telecommunication Business.
The Samsung F480 combines a new and unique UI (User Interface) called TouchWiz and widgets that gives you the ability to customise and personalise the way you use your phone.
The quick and simple ‘drag and drop’ feature lets you have instant access to your favourite functions at a moment’s touch.
A unique menu of widgets display functions such as the clock, radio player, music player and more personal elements including photos and birthday reminders, which you can ‘drag and drop’ onto your home screens to suit your personal needs.
Samsung’s differentiated tactile technology has also been designed to give you a tangible and pleasing feedback sensation when items are selected (bit like the LG Viewty).
The ultra-slim credit card size and refined texture of the F480 smooth has been joined by a brushed metal finish, further enhanced by its premium leather case, which also serves to protect the touch screen when you’re on the move.
Despite its 11.6 mm body, the F480 also boasts all the multimedia functions you would expect from a Samsung mobile. This includes 240 MB of internal music memory, a memory card with up to 8GB storage, an integrated FM radio, a 5 megapixel camera featuring auto focus and a CMOS video lens.
In addition, the phone also offers high-end camera features which are better known on a digital SLR than a camera phone, such as automatic face detection technology and a sophisticated image stabiliser.
The ‘smile shot’ mode makes its first appearance ever on a mobile phone in the Samsung F480. This intelligent feature enables the camera to detect when the subject is smiling and automatically take a picture.
The F480’s high speed internet access (HSDPA) and USB 2.0 connectivity should do nicely for speeding up the transfer and downloading of data.
The F480 will be available from June in major European markets and soon across other GSM regions.
