Samsung unveils water-resistant B2100
Samsung Mobile South Africa is launching its latest advanced outdoor mobile phone - the B2100. Embodied in a slim, 0.7-inch case, the device is ostensibly the slimmest submersible phone to be released on the market to date.
Packing in the hardiest durable features, the B2100 is geared for sportspeople, intrepid explorers and people working in demanding, noisy environments such as farmers, engineers or foremen.
The most notable feature of the B2100 is its resilience to water, shock and dust. The water-submergible features allow the phone to remain water resistant for up to one meter for half an hour. If this phone is put in a glass of water, it will still ring and be fully functional once removed. This can be partly attributed to its urethane casing, which also gives it a comfortable grip and enables the handset to withstand harsh outdoor environments. The B2100 has an IP67 rating which rates its resistance to water and dust, the phone also displays a hardy resistance to bumps, scrapes and scuffs. Adaptable for even the toughest environments including blowing rain, salt fog, and extremely hot and cold temperatures, this phone is the perfect travel companion for adventure-seekers and those working in tenuous conditions.
The rugged handset is fitted with outdoor-friendly features such as loud external speakers, and noise cancellation which functions through a dedicated microphone. It also sports an LED flash light - a necessary accessory for power-failures at home, outdoors and in the work-place - as well as FM radio and camera with the LCD screen display measuring 120 x 160.
In short, the B2100 offers those with a hardy lifestyle all they need and more in a phone that goes beyond the call of duty in value for money. This lays testimony to Samsung Mobile proactively strengthening its leadership in the outdoor mobile phone market.
