ASIA
Korea : Samsung introduced 5 new mobile phones for the European market.
The average of the newly unveiled phones are under 15mm and offer
the latest multimedia features, such as music playback capability,
megapixel camera and Bluetooth connectivity. The lineups include two
3G phones (model: SGH-Z510, SGH-Z540), two slide-up GSM/GPRS phones
(model: SGH-D800, SGH-D820), and a credit-card size mobile phone (Model:
SGH-P300).
Samsung's mobile
phone leadership is based on its ability to design phones with innovative
form factors, such as the clamshell phones, slide-up phones, and TV
viewable landscape phones. This reputation is further cemented by
its introduction of phones with ever slimmer designs. It was the first
to reveal a 9.8mm slim mobile phone (SPH-N2000) in 2001.
The current trend in mobile
phone design is moving towards "slim & wide" design.
The "slim & wide" design concept offers better portability
with its light weight and thinness, and enriches multimedia features
in a mobile environment with larger screens.
Kitae Lee, President of
the Telecommunication Network Business at Samsung Electronics, says,
"Samsung's new slim phones are equipped with the latest multimedia
features and meet the highest standard of quality. Our values for
quality, extraordinary design, and essential multimedia features were
not compromised to bring to market our innovative slim concept."
He adds, "We will continue to add more 'slim & wide' designs
with varying form factors and features to the award-winning Samsung
product line-up."
SGH-Z510 and Z540 are the
slimmest 3G phones at a depth of 14.9mm. Equipped with a 1.3 megapixel
camera and 4x digital zoom, the two phones offers a full spectrum
of 3G features, including video telephony, real-time video streaming
and video messaging.
The SGH-Z510's 2.2-inch
QVGA screen displays crisp high-speed video streaming clips. It also
includes MP3 playback functionality, allowing users to listen to 3D
sound quality music content anywhere and at anytime.
The SGH-Z540 is a modernistic
and exquisitely designed phone that will attract fashion-conscious
consumers and working professionals who desire the many features of
3G in a superior slim design. It holds 150MB of content and supports
Bluetooth and USB transfers.

The SGH-D800 is
a 14.9mm slim slide-up phone that is packed with today's latest technology
- 1.3 megapixel camera, document viewer, Bluetooth, PictBridge, and
TV-out. Encased in a black and silver metal, it exudes modernity and
elegance.
At a depth of 15.2 mm,
the SGH-D820 is slim slide-up phone with a full line-up of multimedia
features. It features a wide (2.12-inch) and high resolution (QVGA)
LCD screen and 1.3 megapixel camera. With Quad Band capability, the
SGH-D820 is functional across all GSM frequency bands. It also supports
microSD external memory. With its modern, premium exterior design,
the phone is the best fit for sophisticated business users who desire
top-quality features in a sleek appearance.
Samsung's SGH-P300 is packed
with the most advanced features in an elegant ultra slim package with
mere 8.9mm thinness. This easy-to-carry mobile device shares the look
and dimension of an ordinary credit card, yet comes with a 1.3 megapixel
camera with flash, music player, and video recording capabilities.
Its premium feather-light weight and stylish mini design is sure to
turn heads everywhere you go. Nicknamed "The Card," the
