At the Cebit fair in Hannover, Samsung is launching its latest creation. The G400 is the first foldable phone with a 5-megapixel camera. An external touch screen is for controlling both camera and music player.
Samsung G400
Samsung G400Type: 3G 7,2 Mbit/s hsdpa, triband GSMSize: 1028 x 51.5 x 15.4 mmScreen: Two x 2.2 inch, 320 x 240 pixel, 262 000 coloursCamera: 5 megapixel with autofocus, foto light. Video recording with 640 x 480 pixel in 30 frames per second.
After having displayed not less than 17 new or recently launched mobile phones at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona a few weeks ago, one could expect Samsung to have nothing more to give for a while. But at Cebit in Hannover, Germany, the company today displayed the new G400 model, at least as impressive as any of the stuff shown in Barcelona.Samsung calls G400 a foldable version of its flagship product Soul, and that is pretty much correct. As is the case with Soul, this phone has a 5-megapixel camera and turbo 3G with 7.2 Mbps in a metal cover.On Soul, the fourway button was a tiny miniature touch screen, where the key symbols changed depending on function. On the G400 the entire outer external screen is like a big touch screen with vibrator feedback when pressed down. Through the external screen, it should be possible to access the music player, the camera and the photo album, and more. On foldable phones the external screen is usually smaller, but on the G400 it is the same size as the screen on the inside, 2.2 inches.As in the Soul, the G400 is to give the user possibilities to decide what the phone menus should look like. In addition to selecting a desired theme, it will also be possible to choose colours and fonts. It should also be possible to choose between displaying a clock, a calendar or other things when the screen is not in use.The 5-megapixel camera has a photo light, not a real flash, but it does have digital image stabilization, face recognition and Wide Dynamic Range.The phone will be available in Europe June this year.
