Samsung S5600 preview: First look
Gsmarena have posted a preview of the Samsung S5600. Here are the phone features and final impression.
Samsung S5600 at a glance:
General: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 900/2100 MHz, GPRS/EDGE class 12, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps
Form factor: Touchscreen bar, no keypad
Dimensions: 102.8 x 54.8 x 12.9 mm
Display: 2.8-inch TFT, QVGA resolution (240 x 320 pixels)
Memory: 80MB, Non-hot-swappable microSD card slot (up to 16GB)
Camera: 3 megapixel fixed focus camera with LED flash and smile detection
Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, standard microUSB port, GPS receiver with A-GPS
Misc: Accelerometer sensor, FM radio with RDS, Find Music recognition service, DNSe, gesture lock
Battery: 1000 mAh battery
From what we saw, the Samsung S5600 seems quite fit and prepared for the midrange touchscreen race.
Comparison to the LG Cookie - a handset which we really enjoyed - is inevitable. The Samsung S5600 is certainly compact enough to stay in the game. The competitive edge comes from HSDPA support, the camera flash, smile detection and GPS geotagging plus the benefits of having an actual GPS receiver aboard. All that however is at the expense of the smaller, lower resolution screen and the lack of a stylus support for handwriting recognition.
But as always, in this segment price is king, so before we see any actual numbers on a price tag, we're just plain talking. But if Samsung somehow manage to squeeze the S5600 within the 200 euro price range, we just may have ourselves a winner.
