Overview of Samsung Cell Phones

A brief overview on Samsung cell phones depict that Samsung has done a lot of work in fun / fashion features and also developed new standards with time. The company mostly concentrated on clamshell (flip) cell phones and is number one in this feature. But, there are also many famous cell phones by Samsung that are not in clamshell form factor. The screen and polyphonic tones of their cell phones are considered to be top class in the market. Samsung has also released some PDA phones and smartphones.

Samsung Future Strategy

Latest announces and releases show that Samsung is taking the technologies a step further. Now, 262k color TFT screens are introduced instead of today's common 65k, 60 polyphonic tones are also there instead of 40, megapixel cameras with flash are embedded in cell phones instead of VGA camera.
Cell phones with sliding form factor are also introduced to get user response. Slider cell phones were introduced previously by Nokia (7650) and Siemens (SL55) but they haven't got a lot of possitive response. But this time Samsung took the chance and these slider phones Samsung are more elegant in look and feel like other Samsung cell phones.

Latest Cell Phones

Siemens updated its fashion class cell phone SL55 to SL65. Siemens SL55 is said to be as a pure fashion phone, some people didn’t liked its design. This time SL65 has been given a decent look, nice color (black instead of pink) and relatively less sliding. The size and weight still remains short and ideal, although weight (99 grams) is 25% more than SL55.

New Features

A healthy inclusion made is the VGA camera with 5x digital zoom which can take pictures and videos. Both can be sent via MMS. Bluetooth is another important update in the phone. This shows that now the phone is also inclined a bit towards the business class.
