Affordable smartphone from Samsung
The new Samsung Galaxy Pocket is described as the most affordable smartphone available in South Africa, at R999.
It is slim at 11.98mm, lightweight at 97g and offers a 2.8" display, making it portable while still ensuring comfortable viewing of content and images. The Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform, Google Mobile Services, Samsung Apps and the easy to use TouchWiz interface lead the viewing experience, with Superfast 3G connectivity.
Downloadable through Samsung Apps, the 'ChatON' cross-platform communication service connects all phone users into a single community. This enables spontaneous messaging, group chatting and content sharing in multiple formats, making messaging simpler and more intuitive. Meanwhile, the 'Social Hub' allows users to see their Instant Messaging, social networking (such as Facebook and Twitter) and email communications in a single inbox for added social convenience.
Pocket Musiq is an exclusive feature for users, having thousands of free downloadable local tracks.
The device offers a great on-board user memory of 32GB for applications, MP3 files, photos (from the 2MP camera) and other media, as well as an in-built FM radio, which allows users to tune in to their favourite station.
"The phone comes with a wide range of useful services that enrich the user's mobile experience. It is compact and connected - everything you need in a Smartphone," says Craige Fleischer, director of Mobile Communications at Samsung Electronics South Africa.
