Samsung launches Galaxy S & S8500 Wave mobile set

Samsung Electronic Dhaka Branch, the world's leading electronic company, specialised in digital appliance and media, semiconductors memory and system integration is going to launch two products at Dhaka Sheraton today. Samsung Galaxy S: Price: BDT 46,900. The Android smart phone segment keeps getting stronger, and the Samsung Galaxy S looks set to be a key player in 2010. Not only does it get the company's coveted Super AMOLED display, but a 1GHz processor, 720p HD video recording and plenty of wireless connectivity. Now freshly announced as incoming to Verizon as the Fascinate, T-Mobile USA as the Vibrant and of course AT&T as the Captivate, the Galaxy S is certainly spreading itself around. The obvious comparison is against Apple's new Retina Display technology, and of course the Galaxy S' resolution can't compete with the 326dpi of the iPhone 4's outstanding screen. Nonetheless, it's one of the best panels we've seen on a mobile device of late and certainly better than most AMOLED and LCD displays. More useful is Samsung All Share, which takes DLNA media sharing and puts a cell phone-friendly face on it. All Share allows you to stream multimedia from the Galaxy S to a WiFi-connected player - whether a standalone audio system, network-connected HDTV or a computer - or vice-versa, or even to act as a remote control for your media server, selecting files to play remotely. Samsung S8500 Wav: Price: BDT 32,500. The S8500 Wave is among the best speed Samsung phones we've seen and it seems every aspect of the overall performance will have to pull its weight. Samsung are keen to focus attention on the young Bada OS, and that might as well bear future fruit. However, if the young platform fails to perform as expected, its shortcomings will be harder to forgive. In the geeks' world 720p video recording and 1 GHz CPU are probably the best remedies for a few usability issues. However they raise the cost of the device and that in turn prevents some people from purchasing it. And in a market where a smart phone come in all tastes and flavors you really want to get you device in as many pockets as possible.

Samsung to unveil 'super smartphone'

Still wondering which smartphone to buy? Which could best assist you in office work and provide best entertainment service at a time? Those, who are thinking of iPhone is the best solution, think again.
Samsung, one of the world's leading consumer electronics brands, is about to introduce the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S, which is going to hit the local market by the end of this month.
The Daily Star had an exclusive privilege to take a very good look at the device, which could be argued as most endowed, packed full of features Android device so far. And after thorough examining, the writer has to finally admit that the tagline is quite admirably true to some extend.
The first thing that will come to a user's mind after buying the phone is, “Finally I got something that will give me the ride of a lifetime.” The 9.9mm smooth and thin phone is displaying an AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) screen - the most sophisticated technology so far in display science.
And that's not all... the Galaxy S has got stainless steel trim and a central "home key" below the touchscreen. At the back of the phone, there is a large square, five-megapixel camera lens at the top-left corner.
Like all Android phones, the Galaxy S comes with a suite of Google apps pre-installed, including Google Maps, Google Talk, Gmail and Google Buzz. It can also be connected to an MS Exchange mail account and sync contacts with Facebook, Twitter and MySpace and view updates using a Samsung-designed home screen widget.
Packed with DLNA streaming, the Galaxy S is capable of connecting to a compatible device, like a Play Station 3, Desktop computers or flat panel TV, and can stream media stored on the internal memory or microSD card.
For Movie buffs, the Galaxy S supports DivX and XviD video formats, alongside the standard MP4 and H.264 files we see on all Android phones.
The Galaxy S could definitely do with a sprinkling of individuality, especially for customers looking for a viable iPhone alternative. The Android system will appeal most to tech-savvy people, who will likely to appreciate the attention Samsung has given to this phone's multimedia capabilities. The Galaxy S could well be everyone's upper-midrange Android phone.
So guys, keep your finger crossed till the launching of the phone!
