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.
